Description

« Hide

When logged inworld, enabling Vertex Buffer Objects from Preferences > Hardware causes the viewer to crash instantly.

Older RCs had the same problem, however an nVidia 7800 GTX does not have this issue, so LL may need to get in contact with ATI regarding their driver.

Graphics settings are included as a screen shot.

A couple of weeks ago, ATI sent us some of their internal capturing software and I was able to capture the triangle glitch bug on my 4850 and send it to them. They are on it, and believe it to be due to some optimizations they made and are working on it. I'll let you all know more when I know more and when they release a fix or give us a workaround.

Thank you : )
