  1. Just seeking a bit of help here.  

     

    Whenever I buy an outfit, the instructions (as far as the applier itself), are to just wear it, click the button and .. boom, you've been 'applied.'

    However when I click the button ... I really don't see any change in my avatar at all.  o.o

    Is there something I'm doing wrong, or do I need to modify my settings somehow?

     

    I apologize if something hasn't been fully explained, I've never dealt with an applier before and I wanted to try something new lol.

  2. In SL, I was waiting for a certain to show up that never did so ... my Christmas was a bum one in-world.

     

    In RL however?  Got a ton of gifts, managed to spend time with my family despite having to work that day and good times were had by all.  Can't really complain.   :)

     

    However, there are times that I do wish my SL experiences could be as awesome as my RL ones.  

    But SL is what you make it ... so ... -shrug-

    Happy you had a good one in-world though.  :D

  3. I do see your point. 

    I don't log into SL as much as I used to, (especially with working 2 jobs now), so maybe there is no need for me to be using a viewer that has all of the bells and whistles and what have you.

     

    The LL viewer seems to be working great for me as of late so ... hey.  If it isn't broke ... don't fix it.   Far be it for me ruin a good thing. xD

  4. Goodness, let's not bring up the awfulness that was Windows Vista.

    I was so happy to be rid of that darned computer that I did a dance lol.

     

    And you have a point about people wanting to use every setting possible just because it is there.  

    But I already know from online gaming experiences that I am not playing on a high end computer at all, so I have to stay with the most basic of settings and hope that everything runs smoothly from there.

     

    But yes, the LL viewer is simple ... but efficient!  I feel myself becoming attached to it again actually hehe.

  5. Definitely the response I was looking for, thank you!

     

    I actually did this twice and still had the same issues with Firestorm.

    Wiped everything again, tried the official viewer and everything works like a charm, strange.

     

    Granted, I love Firestorm and if I could understand why the frequent "disconnections" keep occuring and find a fix for it, I'd be happier.

     

    But until then, guess I shall be enjoying my in-world time using the official viewer.  :)  Thanks again.

  6. .. that is why I stated the client was crashing "disconnecting" and not my actual machine.  :)

    I have tried the LL viewer after a full clear of all SL files, and have no problems with that ... oddly enough.

    Did the same with Firestorm ... same disconnection issues.

     

    I keep my graphics updated, always monitor temperatures and nothing is wrong with my ISP (which I also have checked).

     

     

  7. I have asked this question before,

    and I see fit to ask again because as a Firestorm user,

    I'm becoming extremely unhappy with that viewer lately.

     

    I can't even enter a sim without the client crashing and it's very frustrating.

     

    Does anyone know of any user-friendly or well-designed viewers that do not crash at the drop of a dime?

     

    (And yes, I've cleared my cache, made sure my CPU is not overheating among other things before complaining about this.  :(  I've only had issues with this for the past few weeks and have been a Firestorm user for over a year. )

  8. Alright, this is mainly a question regarding what I can do to view Second Life a bit better.

    I have to run Firestorm on the lowest quality of settings because using anything remotely desirable,

    (shaders, bump mapping, local light, etc)

    makes my experience extremely laggy.

     

    I'm wondering, is this a problem regarding the quality of my graphics card, or the viewer that I use?

    I'm not exactly tech savvy, so any advice would help.

     

    (I was told to buy an Nvidia card and get it installed for my laptop, but I want to be sure it is needed before I do so.)

  9. Hello everyone.  :)

     

    Let me just get right to the point ..

    I try hanging out at all of the popular spots, clubs, bars, etc ...

    It's just not very effective when you're as shy as I am, unfortunately.

     

    SL isn't all that fun unless you have friends to chat with, or someone to tag along with you when you go shopping.  :(

     

    Long story short, I have a variety of interests!

    Shopping, roleplaying, playing games in SL, just exploring in general.

    I would love to have a friend or two to hang out with whenever I log on.  :)

    Or if you're a roleplayer/compulsive shopper like me, I'd love to pick your brain for new sims to shop/play at.

     

    It'd be a nice change from lurking about in corners and being afraid to tell someone hello.  :X

  10. I had no idea where else to post this, being that I couldn't find any tech support section of the forums.

    Or maybe I didn't look hard enough.  Whatever.

     

    The strange issue I have, is that upon logging in (I use Firestorm, if it matters),

    literally ALL of my mesh hair is loaded onto my avatar all at once.

    And I have a LOT of it .. so there are times that it crashes my viewer altogether

    if I don't resolve the problem fast enough.

     

    This has been going on for about a week and I really have no clue how to handle it.

    Am I really going to have to keep using the 'Remove from Current Outfit' option every single time this happens?

    Because it really is just getting a bit redundant at this point..

    I love to have a nice collection of beautiful skins that are of a darker skin tone.

    I guess because I am rather picky, the more 'detailed' skins are rather hard to come across.

    As far as cleavage, abs, and general skin tone .. I just HAVE to have this skin lol.

    Does anyone know where the skin itself came from?

    (and no, the seller that the ad came from does not sell skins.  =P)

  12. The photos I've viewed from users that use Niran's Viewer are amazing.

    Maybe it's just me, and I admit, all I know how to do are run viewers on basic settings

    so I can see how well it fares with my CPU, but every time I try to change my preferences on Niran

    the entire client just crashes.

     

    Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and assume that's not normal.

    Also it is extremely laggy so far.  =[  Maybe my CPU just isn't up to the task of running this viewer.  -sigh-

    Suppose I'll have to keep trying viewers until I find what works for me, FPS-wise and graphics-wise.

  13. I'm asking all of you for your opinions here.

    I've used a variety of viewers in my time using Second Life,

    but ever since Mesh has become popular and the viewers have been trying to adapt,

    I'm noticing little things that just irk the crap out of me.

     

    Firestorm is what I currently use.

    And I love to buy Mesh hair but .. sometimes it shows up, sometimes it actually requires a client restart.

    Others, the hair will literally just be floating in the air!

     

    But anyways, (got off topic there lol),

    as far as reliability, the ability to view mesh, user-friendly customization and overall attractiveness in appearance,

    what is YOUR favorite viewer?

  14. Let me start off by saying I use the latest viewer for Second Life, (2.7 I believe), and I have yet to see the bouncing breast or booty effect on my avatar!  

    I cannot figure out what the problem is to save my life!  I've tried buying physics layers, making my own, switching skins, taking off breast enhancements ... there has to be a solution to this!   Is there anyone out there that can offer me any advice?

     

    Btw, in Preferences, my Avatar Physics is at the max.    So .. I'm really at a loss here, and it's slowly beginning to disappoint me.
