Need a fix for your viewer please.

[Cryez]

So I was using phoenix viewer, but i continued to have that timeout problem associated with nVidia cards, but i was told this was not an issue in viewer 2.0.

So i switched, and yes this was no longer an issue, but after 5/10/15/20 minutes of being inworld, avies and objects etc become like, spiky and weird and flayed out, i never bothered with it and didnt care much, but its been annoying me recently.

Note this never happened on phoenix but happens on firestorm/viewer 2.0.

Anybody have a fix?

Never had this happen to me before. Odd. Try asking in the Phoenix Firestorm support group inworld, perhaps?

Well its Viewer 2.0

Try going into "Preferences" - "Graphics" - "Hardware" and unchecking the box that says "Use OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects." That's a setting that causes a problem for a lot of ATI video cards and has symptoms that sound similar to what you're seeing.

I'm presuming you tried the usual: Cleared cache+settings, updated graphics driver etc.pp.?

I had the same when I logged in SL the first time, and I was using some Graphics card where I really wasn't sure what it is at that time.

I replaced this (rather old) graphics card with a decent one and never had this problem again. I was using V2 as well, and I didn't know about phönix then.

I don't know if that helps you, but it's how I was able to solve it in may case.

@Theresa: Of course I dind't know about utrning off "Use OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects", maybe thatwould have fixed it as well. On the other hand, buying a new graphics card brought some other benefits as well
