Thanks for responding, Maya! I don't think that the AV's I wasn't seeing were running 2.0, or were necessarily using an alpha mask. I started seeing this with sim 1.34. I have tried several viewers, and it seems to be present in the viewer I prefer using: The Windows Cool Viewer from Boy Lane that is based on the 1.22 viewer code. I haven't seen the issue when I use Emerald, or viewers which are based on 1.23, 1.21, or 1.19 code. So, I am looking forward to the backporting of the 2.0 code to see if resolves the problem. Otherwise, I don't really care one way or the other about alpha masks / didn't care until it started effecting me. I have been known to wear shoes, and I have never been known to wear a non-human avatar, but it seems to me that alpha textures would be more of a hindrance than a help with non-human avatars.
