Firestorm Viewer Flickering

[Tina22 Carter]

I got a new laptop. Updated NVIDIA graphics driver 361.43

Acer V3-575G

Intel i5

NVIDIA GeForce 940M with 4GB Dedicated VRAM

8GB DDR3 L Memory

1000GB HDD

Windows 10.

 

Does anyone know why it flickers? I cant play at all :-( I cant view chat and the bar at the bottom.

I  can not tell you why its doing that, but i can give you suggestions to try and solve it.

I assume its the 3d view that is flickering rather than the whole viewer? Anyway go to your preferences, then graphics tab and hardware.

Try turning off streaming vbo's and all the other options in there, then relog and see if it helps. If it does help go back through them one by one untill you find which one is giving you the issue. 

I might also try doing a clean install if the hardware tab is of no help to you. Perhaps its also worth trying the official linden viewer as well if you have not already. The purpose being to see if its a general issue with display inside the viewer or if its viewer specific. 

Sorry i can't be more helpful than that without knowing more, but those are the things i would try first. I mihgt also try reinstalling my graphics drivers as part of the course.
