Ok. In a nutshell, here is my question - it is not why is everything gray, but what caused things to suddenly stop rendering properly? Here are the facts: One day, I'm on Second Life for the billionth time - everything is perfect. We "upgrade" our internet - new modem/router, this internet is supposed to be faster. The internet is down for 15 minutes while the new things are installed by a worker. I get back on second life - suddenly, things load in much slower - skins do not load at all. I see people's hair. Their boots. sometimes part of a dress, but never their skin. Other textures like buildings and sculpties load extremely slow. It has been a couple of months now...same story. If you care to read below this I can conclusively prove that this problem has nothing to do with my computer, or my bandwidth, but rather something to do with how my new internet is set up - I want to know what exactly is causing this. You have my eternal thanks if you can come up with the answer. ------------------ I swear that I have tried every solution under the sun on my side, from tweaking my bandwidth usage, to enabling/disabling http image to using different viewers, cache, graphics settings, updating my video cards, EVERYTHING. Here is how I know it is the internet change - I can take my computers to a different location and use a different connection and Second Life works perfectly. It works fine on my cruddy little laptop, and it works fine on my liquid cooled super-expensive computer. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what could it possibly be about this new internet connection that causes second life to not render properly? (and yes I have done multiple upload/download/speed tests, and my connection speed is plenty fast - faster than the one where SL actually worked) On my main computer, I run crossfire 2gb video cards and I overclock at over 4 ghz, with 16 gb of RAM - my computer can give me truly amazing graphics on high end games, yet on this specific internet connection, SL and only SL gives me a problem. ----------------------- I want to call the internet company and demand justice - but where would I even start? They probably would laugh at me, not even knowing what SL is. This is why I need to know precisely what might be causing this problem. Even an inkling, so I can target and resolve this issue, get the right connection and once again be in my wonderful second world again. Anyone at all have any ideas? I have searched the internet to no avail. Any help is appreciated.
