Description

« Hide

Black spots flickering all over my avatar. Also occaisionally texture errors on my avatar or surroundings.
1. I tried to take off all clothes, skins, shapes, detachements. No changes
2. Switched back to Female test avatar. No changes
3. Switched back to recommended settings in Graphics window, then it disappeared.
4. Tried the graphic settings one by one, found out the Atmospheric Shaders checkbox to bring back the problem
5. Tried a couple of times and it kept coming back when I switched on Atmospheric Shaders

It was hard taking the pictures, cuz the flickering is very fast and at random moments and positions, but there is clearly some visible on my face.

I also have the same issue of small black patches flickering constantly on my avatar when I enable Atmospheric Shaders.

I am currently using Second Life 1.23 viewer but this issue has been happening on all the past viewers (including Release Candidates and Snowglobe) whenever the Atmospheric Shaders/Windlight box is checked in Graphics preferences.
