Description

Viewer that normally defaults to Low+ quality & speed sometimes defaults to High.

Reproduction steps
  1. On a Mac M1, with this viewer installed - https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/7.2.2.17774206511.html
  2. TBD (I think there is some start condition that we have not discovered yet)
  3. Set the viewer to Rosetta mode (this step may not be necessary, but that's how it was set this time)
  4. Start the viewer, stay at the login screen.
  5. Open Preferences > Graphics
  6. Click the Reset to recommended settings button.

Observed: Move of the time, quality & speed slider goes to Low+. Occasionally the quality & speed slider goes to High.

Expected: It should always default to the same thing on a particular machine.

Log of it defaulting to High : SecondLife.log

On another run it defaulted to Mid: Mid SecondLife.log

Adding a log when it defaulted to Low+ which is expected: Low+ (expected) SecondLife.log

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on a Mac M1 using the listed viewer build, Rosetta mode, and the Graphics preferences reset action. Compare the attached High, Mid, and Low+ SecondLife.log files to identify why the same machine receives different recommendations; done means repeated resets produce the expected consistent quality and speed setting.
