Aussie Blokke Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 3 days ago a very odd and annoying problem appeared for me in SL. When I login at work, my avatar body doesn't appear, only my prims.I clear cache, rebake, relog, reboot..... nothing fixes it.When I login at home, there is no problem at all.Leading up to this, no changes were made on the work network. I had not recently updated my viewer, but I have now. This still didn't resolve the issue.Is it possible that an avatar body loads from a different source to prims, and that something on my work network is blocking access to that source where an avatar body loads from? I wonder if my firewall is now blocking something, as it subscribes to rules that are applied by an external security organisation.Does this make sense to any of you uber smart people?Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hello Aussie. Do you use viewer 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Blokke Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Using Phoenix. Wasn't on the latest version but upgraded to it as a matter of working out WTF is going on Not a Viewer 2 user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Blokke Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 OK... works fine in Viewer 2, not in Phoenix, and I haven't done anything in Phoenix to trigger this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It is a usual problem in Phoenix. Usually it is an internet connection issue. Power down your modem / router for at least 2 mins. After that, power on again and log in a protected land without lag like Smith, Lime or Aqua. If it doesn't work for you, give the command: Menu Edit --> Preferences --> Phoenix Tab --> Page 2 --> Advanced Graphics --> select HTTP Get Textures --> Apply --> OK Relog. See if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The opposite happens often also. Users with problems in V2, fix them when they changed Viewer and log in Phoenix. That's why i asked you if you use V2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Blokke Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Interesting.... at home, no problem with Phoenix, but on a different network with different ISP, there is now a problem. Same network and ISP, Viewer 2 has no problem. I did as you suggested with the Phoenix settings, and it hasn't fixed the issue. Thanks for the suggestions thus far though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peewee Musytari Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Are you using dual displays? If you don`t have SL on the primary one, it can cause invisible or black avatars. Switch to primary monitor, relog and then rebake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Blokke Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 WOW...... how about that huh!!! I setup dual 21" monitors only the other day.... and NEVER would have thought something so simple would do THAT!!!! Switched Phoenix over to the primary monitor, as you suggested, and TA-DA! That's crazy, but a massive thanks for pointing it out. All sorted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vor Flagon Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 That is so crazy, I had the same problem, and this fixed it. I find it strange that other people saw me as invisible too. Thanks a ton!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
