iVishni Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hello, all. I'm new here. I just started a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, when I go to a location, nothing seems to load properly. All I'm seeing are magenta shapes and very few textures. My avater doesn't even look like she's loaded. She looks default with magenta shapes coming out of her. Why is this? How can I fix it?

valerie Inshan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Welcome to SL! Seems you have to update your graphics card drivers... For a quick but temporary solution, go to Preferences >> Graphics and disable Basic Shaders. For a more permanent solution update the 12.1 Catalyst driver from http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx?type=2.4.2&product=2.4.2.... or run the AMD driver autodetect tool to update: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx Credits go to Rolig Loon. Please kudo her, not me. :smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iVishni Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thank you so much. :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: Edit: Okay. I have another question. My avatar looks totally different than the one I signed up with. How do I get my original avatar back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaiya Arnold Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Have a look in the library in your inventory, you should be able to find the avatar you started with in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Fellstein Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I noticed that a while back when I made a test alt for something. The avatar style I chose never loaded onto the avi. I had to manaually find it in the library and equip all the components myself. Maybe it's not a bug but a 'feature'? The new 'forced learning for new residents' or some such, lol likely the viewer times out and SL just gives up. I didn't think to look at any error logs at the time.
