Needing mesh assistance. On most recent SL viewer 3.2.8

[Bactine]

I am having issues with mesh not loading correctly with the newest viewer. I'm having to log out and clear cache a lot to resolve simple issues. I've got a problem now where I'm trying to wear hair that has some messy textures used for certain parts and clean textures used for the main body of the hair. I can see the clean(neat/organized) hair parts of the mesh but any messy areas (fly away hairs/ single strands) are invisible to me unless I look at my avatar's outline infront of something with heavy glow on it. I can see the parts that are invisibl to me that way, but I do not see them normally. I have tried to do the normal clear cache & relog that i normally would and it's just now working for the hair. Is there a setting that I need to do in order to see the mesh correctly?

 

Turning off shadows resolved the issue, thank you. My graphics card was not the problem seeing as I saw the hair as it should be while it was rezzed on the ground, just did not show up properly as I was wearing it. I do not see how drivers are needing to be replaced when they are up to date and have had no issue prior to today. I am hopeing that I can use shadows again at some point because I do enjoy them, but I do not know why they are making my mesh items not show correctly.

sounds like a problem with alpha channel textures, not mesh.  Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your video card.  Check your antialiasing settings in Preferences.

Try operating without having shadows enabled.  See >>> Version 3.0 Shadows Mode makes some objects / textures invisible
