Dakota Noelle Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I am using the latest Firestorm viewer, and i have noticed since LL changed how things are baked when you log in, i have had major issues with my surroundings and nearby avatars coming into view. They keep going all blurred on me after i have been logged on for 5 minutes and constantly find after awhile it gets so bad i have to re-log. My Firestorm hardware settings are automatic to what my system can handle, so i am not pushing anything to more than it can take, i have even reduced the hardware settings to see if it helps, but it doesn;t make no difference. Any suggestions, will be appreciated, i am not sure what else to do, i do not have this issue with any other programs i use or in SL Beta and never had this issue until baking was changed a few months back.

SaraCarena Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Could you post your viewer info here and maybe a picure of the problem at it`s worst. For viewer info just start the viewer and click Help > About Firestorm, no need to log in. You can also save a sl picture to your hard drive at no cost. This could help to solve your problem quicker. The server side baking code went live Aug/Sept 2013, so has been around a lot longer than a few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaraCarena Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 To me it looks like a connection issue, I notice your bandwith is 500 which suggests you`re using wireless connection. If you`re hardwired you could try a setting between 1000-1300. You could try a lower draw distance it will be less stress for your graphics and may help 224 is probably a bit high for just general use, I tend to keep mine at 125 and go even lower in laggy indoor places. Disabling http textures may help Preferences > Graphics > Rendering > use HTTP for recieving textures, uncheck that box. I used to have http disabled all the time coz it helped to cut down on texture blur but these days it doesn`t make much difference and I don`t get the blur that I used to. I think it`s very specific to your location and connection to sl. Another thing to consider is that the sl viewer runs fine for you but firestorm doesn`t, suggests that sl viewer code is better suited to your connection, well firestorm should be releasing an update in the 1st or 2nd week of August, it may be that the newer version runs better for you. Ohh and I would just check that your graphics driver is up to date. Hope something here helps, good luck :smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli May Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I had a similar issue when wearing a particular HUD (possibly because it used too many hi-rez textures?). Even in a simple location with low draw distance, all textures would repeatedly blur then reload. Removing the HUD solved the problem, and I've heard of others with the same issue. Thankfully the creator of that HUD released an updated version which doesn't cause the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraCarena Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I`ve heard of that too and it`s listed in Fs wiki fetching issues. http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/http_fetching_issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irihapeti Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 is also happening on the SL viewer as well to me. Even with textures dl and in cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraCarena Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It`s been talked about at the latest TPV meeting and a fix is on the way Skip to the 34th minute if you don`t want to watch it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraCarena Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 There`s a RC viewer that has a fix and it will likely be the next sl release viewer based on the fact that there`s only one RC viewer listed atm.
