VWR-3258 Rendering glitches: triangle glitches, vertex tears, etc. on some ATI cards with VBO on

Description

« Hide

When I first log on it is all ok.
It starts when I teleport somewhere - for example the Respiratory Ward Scenario at Imperial College London
It then continues if I return to my work at University of Worcester island.
Large geometric blocks appear almost as soon as I rez.
Some blocks are filled with solid colour others are filled with lines or dashes.
I have logged on and off a number of times to no avail.
I have turned down or switched off everything I can think of.

Bluesky, please check you have the latest graphics drivers by either going to your manufacturer's site or by checking in Knowledge Base How do I get the latest drivers for my graphics card?
ATI have recently released 9/11/2009 Catalyst 9.9 OpenGL Version: 2.1.8918

please see Turning off WindLight rendering.

2. If you still see glitches, try to disable 'Vertex Buffer Objects' (VBO)

An extra step that can help (in some cases) is to turn off VBO. This is done in the Hardware Options of your Graphics preferences, because this is a setting on your graphics card.

Here's how

1. Run Second Life from your desktop. You don't have to log in.
2. Open Edit menu > Preferences...
3. Click on the Graphics tab.
4. Click on the button for Hardware Options. Now, look for the fourth option, Enable VBO: Set this to be UNchecked. This means it is turned off.

Please see the main issue VWR-3258 and add your comments and vote.

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.
