Description

Environment

26.2.0.24476400809

Description

Occasionally, the viewer takes a long time to display the login screen content. Collect any logs when this happens and find what is triggering this.

Reproduction steps

Noted by @kurtlinden in https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/issues/5607 (This was on a Mac)

  • Release notes and login page remaining empty for a very long time on first login:
    https://gyazo.com/aaf74dabea0f1ccc617887801fe1cf9b
  • The observed behavior is a gray screen, not a black screen like #5625.
  • This was noted in build 26.2.0.24476400809, but is not new to this build.
