This is very sad.

[Teagan Tobias]

I have been playing with V3 for a while now and have decided to start using it for more than just standing around seeing where its parts are. One of the things I do in SL is take photos so I have a history of my SL, but there is a line across my photos. Why is there a line across my photographs? Yes I know if you make the photo very small the line is not there, but then the photo is useless.

I am using the Beta Viewer because .254524 was crashing a lot. I am not getting as many crashes with the Beta, but then this photo thing, ewwww.

I have seen this error before but thought it would be fixed by now, new viewer and all.

This is a show stopper for me. I am going back to Imprudence.

[Peggy Paperdoll]

Things like that tend to happen when you use beta software.

And whenever LL fires the good QA staff members.

[PeterCanessa Oh]

They had QA staff?

[Teagan Tobias]

Wow, that would be really great if you could make the Beta the bad guy. But no, it is the same with the latest V3 too. Nice try though.

I don't have any problems with snapshots myself. However, this issue came up last autumn in another thread....

http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Viewer/Line-across-center-of-snapshot/td-p/1227011

and a Jira...

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-26968

There are various suggestions there to improve matters but in the Jira, the reporter fixed the problem with a graphics card driver update.

Are you using an Nvidia card too and how up to date is your driver?

[Peggy Paperdoll]

I use V-3 and I don't have a line in my images.  So that "nice try" thing is really just stating facts.  If Imprudence doesn't have the problem with you, then use Imprudence.  That's why TPV's exist.......so you can pick the viewer that works best for you.

@Nyll

Yes, I now have an Asus GTX 550 Ti 1G mem. Drivers are up to date and have been taken back and then brought forward again. And the video card is only a little over one month old replacing my 8800 GTS 512. Same problem with the older card too, as you saw in my other post, forgot about that one .  Another reason this is so sad.

 

@Peggy

If you don't have a line, then could I ask what settings you are using to take photos. And your OS too. I am using XP Pro. Could that be where my problem is? I am so happy to hear that others don't have the problem, that means maybe I can fix the problem. Thanks.

Once I fixed a graphics problem by replacing the current Nvidia driver with the beta Nvidia driver.

-------------------------------------

My settings in preferences are "High".  No shadows or depth of field (not because of a line problem but because I think shadows are ugly and the DoF just looks like a blurry mess).  Other than that, my draw distance is almost set at 256 meters, with sky and terrain at medium.......everything else is pretty much maxed out.

My video card is the GTX550Ti 1 GB (just like your's I beiieve).  Driver version 296.10 (the most recent as of a month or so ago).  Windows 7 x64 with 16 GB DDR3 system RAM.

I couldn't tell you if your problem is XP.  I do know XP is getting quite ancient as far as operating systems are concerned.  Microsoft is going to quit supporting it in about a year or so so you really should think about getting a better OS.......soon.

[Teagan Tobias]

Wow, a draw distance of 256 meters, I never go over 120 or so, even with Imprudence.  And I don't think I have any settings that are maxed out. My computer is about 5 years old.  But I think I have solved my problem, at least it better solve it.  I just ordered a new computer.  6 core, win 7 x64, 8 GB DDR3-1600 memory (got 4 x 2 so I can add more later if I need to).  Will be a week and a half to get here, spent money on computer and not shipping.
Thanks all for your input.

your better off using a screen capture program like screen hunter, and then upload them. it costs the same 10L and you'll get WAY better results.
