[Opensim-users] invisible/invalid regions from remote client

[Steven Salter]

Thanks Justin. Just for safeties sake I did rebuild without megaregions. I've enough to learn right now without running into any problems associated with that. The jerkiness I can certainly live with since I'm just running a test standalone. Perhaps when I feel confident enough to evolve into an actual robust grid I'll re-examine the megaregion issues. :)

As you might expect, things get more hairy when one simulator is running in somebody's closet in South Africa and the other one is slung over a horse in Western Mongolia.
