problem with my Viewer

[Avtaar]

my SL screen has only 3 colours pink grey and purple. Movements of the avtaars are slow. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Second Life Answers, Avtaar.

It might help you to check if the drivers for your graphics card are up to date (by going to the website for your own graphics card manufacturer - driver downloads are free).

It would also be useful to see your computer's specifications.  You can add them to this thread by clicking on "options" at the top right hand corner of your original post and "edit".

It's likely that you have run into a bug that's affecting some SL residents who are using the latest V3 upgrade and have NVidia Beta drivers.

Two solutions:

1. Go to Preferences >> Graphics and turn off Basic Shaders. That will disable some other graphics features that you have been enjoying, but will get rid of the pink.

2. Go back to the NVidia site and download Beta driver 304.48 .

Rolig, your knowledge of the latest SL bugs is amazing! How do you manage to find this stuff out? I can barely get to the JIRA if I have a link to a specific issue, let alone search it for the latest happenings.

We started getting more of these pink posts two weeks ago, but I knew that LL fixed the viewer code last March. I just typed "Pink" into the JIRA search and up it popped. Lucky, I guess. Half the time when I search the JIRA, I get garbage.
