Cool VL Viewer forum

Well, I've got my usual crash when the viewer tries to load shaders on an Intel card. I don't expect you can do much about it, because Intel isn't supported on Linux, which (is I suppose) why no viewer3 works on my system, but for sake of completeness I am filing the report.

Just had a new crash on v1.26.5.1 after i loged in and tp`d to a new sim: here is the log.

/later edit: the textures do a strange thing... they randomly become blurry like they try to load again every few seconds, so i opened the live debug log on my screen and it happens when the LLMemory info apears.

Example:

Try disabling private memory pools (Advanced -> Memory Management -> Private Pools) and restart the viewer to take effect. Let me know if it fixes your issue or not.

I still get random wornings and other stuff like attachment point invalid and index buffer overflow, are they normal and do thei influence performance in any way?

I indeed can do nothing about it... It's a crash internal to your graphics driver, and like you pointed out, Intel cards are unsupported (including by LL themselves).

EDIT: Ah, by the way, at least on my system, the viewer takes a few moments to start. That is, the main window opens instantanously, but it takes some minutes to draw. It's not important, just a little annoying and I thought I'd report it.

What about this, though? It happened with 5.0 too.

I like this additional shading coming with the new renderer, even if it could be a bit smoother. Maybe there is a new debug setting to change this, like you can set the shadow resolution
