Help regarding new Firestorm Viewer!!

[Belinda Millet]

Hi everyone,

So since the newest release with the firestorm viewer and in fact a couple of older versions I've been having some issues with my graphics card driver crashing hard. I get the dreaded 'graphics driver has stopped responding and recovered' message. This seems to only happen when I'm in sims with heavy mesh on it I believe and only on the Firestorm Viewer. I have tried both Catzip and the official viewer and had no issues at all.

Here are my specs if you need it: 

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz (2993.19 MHz)
Memory: 8155 MB
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Build 9200) compatibility mode. real ver: 10.0 (Build 10011)
Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 560 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

Windows Graphics Driver Version: 10.18.0013.5560
OpenGL Version: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 355.60

Also when this does happen my graphics settings are very low, I don't have atmospheric shading on or anything and neither does my other viewers. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both my graphics card driver and the FS Viewer. Making to clear anything from the old installations.

I hope someone can offer some guidance to what is causing this as it seems very strange indeed.
