Void Singer Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I don't think that was the viewer... it looks like corruption of video memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy Paperdoll Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 The banding I see in the sky and water (and little bit on the walkway) looks very much like a graphics card in the failing stage. It might be related of heat or a driver so clean the inside of your computer case thoroughly. Update your video driver. If that doesn't fix it then start thinking of a replacement card........meanwhile lower all your graphics setting in your preferences to try to put less strain on the card. I doubt the card will last much longer, I'm sorry to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofiee Aiten Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have a macbook and they said i can't get a new graphics card =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 if it happened the moment you you clicked on the option then it's more likely to be a faulty driver than a bad card (it could still be).... make sure your drivers are up to date. if it happens again doing exactly the same thing file a bug report, if it happens again doing something else, it's probably the card, and peggy's suggestions apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deej Kasshiki Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 If you're not seeing these oddities in your other programs (or even just at the desktop) it's more than likely not your video card. Are you seeing odd video glitches in other software or just SL? Do you see it in other games or apps that stress the video card? What version of OS X are you running? Which viewer? MacBook or MacBook Pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofiee Aiten Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 It only happens when I use midday or sunset settings. Other programs are okay. SL is the only major thing I have. I'm using OS Lion, the newest second life viewer I'm sure what it's called, and it's a MacBook pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deej Kasshiki Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The official LL viewer 3 has several known issues with Lion. You might want to try an older (2.7) LL viewer or a third party viewer that's not based on v2/3 code (like Phoenix, Imprudence, Cool VL, etc). I'd recommend that before rolling back to Snow Leopard (if that's even possible depending on your hardware--if your MBP was built after July it has to run Lion). Good luck and let us know what works (or doesn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
