Textures keep rezzing and derezzing. what can i do to fix it?

[Ananda Crystal]

I did a clean install of the newest Firestorm after having to reformat my computer's hard drive. I installed the newest drivers for my graphics card. Every since doing this, textures in world keep rezzing and then getting fuzzy. How can this be fixed?

Try right clicking the object or avatar with the fuzzy textures and select Tex Refresh.

When you ask a tech question include information about your computer and viewer. If the viewer will at least show the login screen, get the info from the viewer's Help-About... and paste that into your post with your question. Help->About... provides all the version numbers we need.  To add your info to an existing question use OPTIONS->EDIT. It’s in the upper right of your post.

It also helps to know if you are using a laptop or a desktop and a wired or wireless connection.

Without that information all we can do is guess. That means you have to try all our bad guesses and eliminate them one by one. This is easier for all of us, if you give us good information to start with.

This is called texture thrashing. It is really bad in the current and RC SL Viewers right now. I use FS more these days to get away from it.

You could try turning on texture compression in Preferences. 

This happens when the video card needs to swap out textures because it dose not have enough video ram to hold all the textures it needs to render.

There are some HUDs that use a large number of LARGE textures that force the viewer to start thrashing. So, if you have HUDs try removing them and see if that helps. You should be able to narrow it down to a specific HUD.
