Skins are hosed

Volare’s brow is furrowed for a good reason. Downloaded the new client and lookie, my skin is done broke (Glance skin pictured above. White rings around eyes courtesy of Linden developers). Don’t even get me started on what happens to poor Starley’s skins.

Linden Labs so thoughtfully changed the order of alpha layers so the eyebrow and makeup is on TOP instead of underneath. And therefore breaking many content creator’s items. Who thought this was a good idea? :-/

Yes, this will happen to you, eventually. That skin you paid $$ for will look like hell.

EDIT: Thanks to Allegory Malaprop, I was informed that the issue is being fixed. I went back and downloaded the 1.22 client and all is well for the moment. (See comments for her comment regarding the issue.)

  1. It’s being fixed! They pushed the RC with it out the door after they had made the decision to change it back, but without enough time _to_ change it back. Next RC should be fine. (Fingers crossed)

    Thanks for all the feedback!

    We’re looking into the issue here, and are looking at the various options for fixing this. Clearly this is a very frustrating bug causing a lot of people grief, and we’re looking into doing something about it soon. This is one of the reasons the public nightly exists – so that we can get fast feedback on when our changes have a larger impact than we expected.

    Your voices have been heard! More on our plan for this issue later. In the meantime, any skin should be unaffected when using the 1.22 client.”

    1. Thanks, Allegory! I’m so happy they listened. This is huge. I went and d/l’d the 1.22 client and I’m good to go.

      Thank you again!
