Is anyone else having problems after windows 10? I can't run FS. It says graphics drive problems.

Update:I've tried uninstalling my drivers, and restarting my computer. I've downloaded the relevant website's drivers and tried to update, but it keeps saying my drivers are up to date. Firestorm refuses to start.

SL residents have had several problems with Windows 10. See http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/win10 for a good summary and what to do about them.

That's OK. You're not the only one having Windows 10 issues. Be sure that you are installing the drivers from the manufacturer's web site (NVidia, AMD, or Intel), not from some other site. Also, note that Linden Lab has advised....

"NVIDIA graphics cards may cause driver-related problems. After installing the latest NVIDIA drivers, the Second Life® Viewer may crash with an error message that states: 'Second Life is unable to run because your video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date, or are for unsupported hardware.' This appears to be a problem with the NVIDIA drivers' initial installation: the first time the install process is run, something fails silently — a file or set of files doesn't copy properly, but the installer doesn't give you any notice that something went wrong.

 

There is a solution: ensure that all of your applications are closed, and install the NVIDIA drivers again. For some reason, the drivers almost always install correctly the second time.

 

If these steps do not solve your problem, please see NVIDIA's Driver Installation Hints."

I'm running Intel Drivers. I've uninstalled the drivers, redownloaded them, even downloaded the Intel tool that's supposed to scan your computer and tell you if your driver is out of date. All the times I've run it, it's replied with "There is no driver."

[Rolig Loon]

Ah. That's true. Intel has not yet updated its drivers for Windows 10, as far as I know. I am not sure whether there is a fix in the Linden Lab viewer to get around that, but the latest version of Firestorm 4.7.3 has a fix:

in my case, I had to go into firewall settings, and tell it to allow F/S, S/L viewer and the SL plugin.  So far right now, F/S is working for me; the SL viewer is a crasher after 3 or 4 min.  SL tech has said their viewer not compatible with win. I have updated everything I can. So with F/S, time will tell
