bugged skins

[fossin]

recently my friend recieved her pc back, we were extremely delighted and ready to play secondlife. when she booted up her game she was in a mesh avatar (she asked to note this in case it was a part of the bug)

 

heres a compliation of what she is experiencing, she can wear mesh fine, she has NO alphas on, these are a variant of different skins (furry, and human, and default)

Hello,

in order to help, you need to tell us what viewer and version your friend uses, also where (grid and region) he tested it.

Your friend can find all that information in the viewer under Help-> About Second Life.

 

Please use the options->edit menu at the top of this page, to add the missing information.

Thanks

 

ETA: This looks to me like a very well known bug when your friend uses a secondary monitor to bake his avatars.

Tell him to rebake (press CTRL+ALT+R) with the viewer on his primary monitor.

Without knowing what hardware specs she has, and which viewer she is using,
or what has been done to her pc before she recieved it back ( i am guessing it was in repair / maintenance? ) it is hard to assume the source of the problem.
Could be that her graphic card has been exchanged, drivers could be different, etc. I can only guess and give some general pointers.

It looks pretty much like a graphics related problem:

- regarding these invisible patches on the avatar: Go to Graphic settings -> hardware options and disable the Enable OpenGl Vertex Buffer Objects.

- Check the system  properties of the computer and look for what graphic card is in there, and from what date the drivers are. 
(It is possible that she is back to the system default drivers or even fell back to a onboard graphic card. Or they exchanged her graphic card with something that is incompatible)
- where to find that depends on what Operational System she is using (windows,mac, or linux) so if she doesn't know how to, just check the web for it.
- In case of using 2 Monitors find more info here : http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Invisible_Avatar
- Make sure the drivers are up to date and the graphic card is working error-free. *
- * Note: some of the latest drivers have issues with Secondlife (so could also be she needs to get back to an older functioning version) for more info look here: https://secondlife.com/my/support/system-requirements/index.php?


Cheers, Code.
