This is simply system lag. We're actively working on improving this.

Here is more going on than system lag.
Please check if VWR-3798 , ~~VWR-5785~~ , ~~VWR-7204~~ and ~~VWR-2404~~ could be related.

With all respect Aric, this is more than system lag. If it were lag, the sculpt map would eventually rez. It doesn't.

This is likely a matter that is far more far-reaching... the system losing track of textures and maps. It doesn't just happen with sculpties, it happens with normal textures. Ever visited a mall, and after 30 minutes textures nearby still aren't rezzed?

Same issue, I'd wager. Solution: re-examine the entire texture system. From what I've seen, it's not logically designed. When textures 200m away from me rez just fine but a texture right next to me hasn't rezzed yet, that indicates a problem with design logic. When I've been standing in the same area for 10 minutes, and decide to look at a vendor, click the vendor button... and it takes a full minute or more for the texture to rez.... that's a design flaw.

I would venture the entire texture loading logic system needs to be re-examined and re-done.

I'd also believe the same examination needs to be performed on gestures and sounds. When I call up a gesture and the sound loads a minute later, that completely defeats the purpose of the gesture. My thoughts are that these are related issues, caused by the same conceptual flaws. Again solution: re-examine, re-design, re-write. Not gonna be fixed by saying, "Yup, that's a problem all right." I returned to SL a year ago, and this problem has existed ever since my return.

Again I respectfully submit: texture rezzing is a top-priority item. It affects merchanting and it affects the entire SL experience. It should have been fixed
already. It's not a "lag" issue. It's a design flaw.

Hi Naiman, is this still a problem for you using the latest Release Candidate?

The issue is still happening. The sculpts eventually load, but it usually takes at least a minute.
