Client is COMPLETELY BLACK.

[Yu Suki]

 Hello All,

MY CLIENT IS ALL BLACK. Can't even sign in... meet all the requirements for second life, I have played it before on the Firestorm client up until last week. I stayed off for a week, came back and my screen was black.

Before you comment, let me tell you all I've tried:

• Uninstalling all versions (and a clean uninstall which would include removing the appdata files, etc.)
• Tried different viewers
• Restarted computer
• Updated my graphics card

 

Nada. I'm still left with a box I type into, but no visuals. This is across ALL CLIENTS. Has anyone had this issue before, help... or am I doomed until I do a system restore of some sort? Thanks!

Open the client You don't need to log in.  Go to Help - About and copy and paste the details here.  That might help someone diagnose your problem

The client is completely black, even before I login. I cannot not contact any support from any client. I'd have to do it outside of it. It's completely. black.

If you have two monitors, then try to drag your client to the second one, close it and try to launch again. See:

You can also take a look at https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-29337

I don't see your graphics card(s) mentioned.  

If similar to what is mentioned in this Jira, you might try some of the troubleshooting mentioned here.
