[Parabola GNU/Linux] big white square on character selection screen!

Hello! :)

I did an update to the ryzom client and ryzom nel libraries for Parabola and I have to report a bug. A big white square appears on the character selection screen, it disappears when you are creating your character or playing the game (but in my case I'm still having this problem!). Another user reported this problem to me. He is using a Nvidia graphic card with the Nouveau driver. He cannot play the game because it close his KDE session every time he try something (like moving the mouse inside the game screen).

~~I'll attached the screenshots and logs from both.~~

Here are the screenshots and the logs:

That's not a bug related to your distribution... Even under Windows some users have it.

Is your Internet connection fast or slow ? Because Kaetemi noticed it occurs frequently if you have a slow connection :(

About your 3D rendering problem, if it occurred only after a recent change (after 2011 apparently) it should be easy to find it, but like you're the only one to have it...

Also, did you update your data ? It seems it occurs when you're using old data (from 1.13) ...

Hello, Hello! :)

Yes, I did that twice (cd /usr/share/ryzom/data && rsync -rtzvu --progress --stats --recursive --timeout=30 www.ryzom.com::ryzom/data/ ./), no new data to download I guess.

Well, my internet contract is for 2Mbps and every time I try to play ryzom, I shutdown my torrent and p2p software. So, maybe the trigger isn't a slow internet connection at all. Do Kaetemi experiments the "big white square" bug while he is playing/testing (in other place than the character selection screen)?

You mean, going backwards between changesets? I could do that starting from the last commit of 2011 and see if the "granulation" persists.
Anyway, I was to fill a bug on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ following this instructions Maybe I could get more information about my issue...
