Trying to figure out who is still here. Say hi if you remember me!

Do you love beer? Great most of the world does, but let's refine that a bit, do you love Craft beer? Do you crave the newest release, do you support your local breweries? Or like me are you a Homebrewer, not satisfied with what other people think you'd like, you make your own beer so you make what YOU like! Well that's me, I love craft beer, the community, the creativity and I love brewing my own beer. i've found a few groups in SL that seem to be geared towards this but haven't seen that many people online in them, I'm not sure if they are even active after IM'ing the founders. So I am here on the forums looking for people like me. I am Eastern US so timezones of course will come into play, but if you have similar interests as I do, find me online and let's chat. i have some ideas for a group/groups, place, evvents, etc... But first I need to find some people who just love beer as much as I do So come help this old beta tester get back into SL and let's have some beer! PROST!

thanks i think the basic shaders did it.

So I just got a new laptop and wanted to try and get back into SL (I'm a beta tester with a lifetime account but haven't really spent time in it in years). It's a i5 M480 2.66ghz 4 gigs ram ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Everything starts up fine, it actually all runs really smoothly, my avatar loads, all clothes load, the scenery (land trees, etc..) all load in full detail, then the objects they load as in I can see the shapes but the textures and detail never load, they are just black buildings. Any thoughts? I looked through the graphics cards and this one doesn't appear to be specifically listed as good or bad for SL and I know on my 5 year old laptop the graphics card (which IS listed on the can't use list) it would load everything if I could keep it running on the ancient processor and 512 RAM. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this card or a fix for this issue, thanks!
