Question

Posted

I am having an issue in which my avatar is displaying the correct textures for me personally, but everyone else sees the textures for the clothing I had on yesterday.  I have had this issue many times in the past and was always able to fix it by doing one or more of the following:

rebaking my textures

editing appearance

changing my shape

Doing a "Character Test" to revert back to the default female avatar.

Loading a newbie starter avatar called "Katie" that I had in my inventory.

Clearing my cache and relogging.

 

Nothing is helping.  I tried this last night before I went to bed and then again this morning when I got up.  I tried rebooting my computer and restarting my modem.  I'm also getting quite a bit of packet loss.  1-3%.    Can anyone give me some tips?   I'm usually able to clear this right up immediately by doing any of the things above.   My avatar looks kind of ridiculous to everyone else, because it's textures that were meant to go with the prims for a ball gown.  None of my usual fixes are helping.  I've even tried a couple of different viewers.  I have been using may alt to check on the textures to see if they are loaded, because no matter what, I look normal to myself.

EDIT:

*** I do not have a router. I am using a wireless modem, but the computer which I use to access SL directly connected and wired in.  I have contacted my ISP and they can find no issues with my line.  It also appears that I have my bandwidth set way too high.   I will fix that when I get home, but I changed that last night when I was initially trying to fix the problem because I was listening to a friend who apparently had no clue what she was talking about.  :matte-motes-silly:

That is high packet loss, and it could account for the trouble you're having.  You didn't say, but if you are on wireless, get off it and onto a direct cable connection.  If you are on a cable connection already, try temporarily bypassing the router entirely by plugging your cable directly into the modem to see if your router is bad (or has drivers that are out of date or borked).  Check with your ISP to see if they are having server issues or are doing maintenance work in your area that could account for the problem.
