Description

« Hide

The attached snapshots were taken in Defenestrom(105,134,39) looking in NW direction. The difference between no's 1, 2 and 3 is a slight touch of the camera angle. These artifacts are permanent. Snapshot 4 shows the pic as it should be.

Also flexi attachments (hair, skirt) generate short living artifacts around the avatar.

Note: I noticed these artifacts first on SL version 1.22 on Windows XP using newest Catalyst 9 software. I reverted to the last published version 8 drivers and the artifacts disappeared. The problem seems to be linked to ATI graphics cards, more specific to Catalyst version 9 driver software.

My apologies for the duplicate pictures.

Duplicate of VWR-3258. To workaround this disable VBO under Edit>Preferences>Graphics tab >Hardware Options, LL is currently working with ATI to get a real fix for this issue.

I checked, and Harleen is right: disabling VBO makes the artifacts disappear.

Sculpty's, sculpties, look like crap with this graphics card even after the recommended setting changes. If you want to know what these shoes are suppose to look like go here;

The recommended graphics cards are a bad joke. Those cards are not available off the shelf; because they are all too old. Why in hell would I want to downgrade to play SL. I wouldn't.
