This behavior is probably a result of an unauthorized modification of DLL files associated with graphics drivers or browsers. A complete reinstallation of my operating system/drivers/applications yielded unadulterated rezzing...This is yet another reason NOT to surf from a User Account with Administration privileges.

Went to Club Rez and turned up the magnification on my Resource Monitor and reset the Registry hack to Default. My FPS dropped to ~ 12 with SL. Only two of the CPU's are even doing 40% and the Graphics Card is only putting out, nominally. Half of my CPUs are "parked". 25% of Physical memory is used. Disk I/O is ~ 25%. Network load is ~ 100kbs/sec down on a ~5 meg connection. Every Viewer setting is maxed out except AA which is set at 8.

Let me sign off on this note... What you are seeing from all of these metrics (statistics) are averages. You've noticed a tradeoff between the quality of the rendering and the number of FPS(frames per second). More quality, less FPS. If you were able to look at all of the REAL TIME metrics for the graphics card, and not the AVERAGES, it would appear to be working a lot harder than the AVERAGES would indicate. Seems like you are running Windows XP 32 bit, which is over a 10 year old operating system. There must be bottlenecks there. Finding them and making the adjustments in the operating system is a huge task. To find them, try typing in MMC(Microsoft Management Console) at the RUN command box. Tune the hard drive(s), tune the CPU(s), tune RAM. "The only significant difference appears to be they are in Win7 - 64 bit." The Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Got done with the people in Online-Chat-Help, and we went to a protected area, to view the avatar. They said that my Avatar looked normal, yet from my view, the torso was pink. They had me load the Developers Menu, and we tried a retest of both Male and Femal Avatars and they both had the same pinkish chests. This was reported to the SL people officially, and they're response will follow.

Here's one with Basic Shaders <unchecked>. The Avatar rezzs normally without clothes on; pants work; no luck with shirt, even after reboot. My comuter is an AMD FX 3120 (8cores) 8 gigs corsiar DDR3 Raedeon 6850 1 gig GDR5 SSD 120 megs w/ SL client SATA 2 hard drive 1.5 terabytes, SecondLifeCache Windows and drivers all updated. latest SL beta running.

This same thing happened to me. Not sure if its the latest Beta Viewer or not. My avatar renders correctly, only with pants on. If I put a shirt on the chest goes pink. This is with Basic Shader <unchecked>.

Had to disable Basic Shaders also. AMD processor and Graphics card. My avatars were not rezzing skins correctly.

My Basic Shaders had to be disabled, in order for my skins to render correctly. This site should be no problem for my box. AMD FX 3120 (8 cores) 8 gigs Corsair DDR3 RAM Radeon HD 6850 w/ 1 gig DDR5 (SL recommends AMD graphics) 120 gig SSD with SL client 1.5 Terabyte SATA2 with SecondLifeCache renamed to SecondLifeCache1a The SL client seems to recognize that the Avatar is not rendering correctly since it seems to Auto-Rebake, after the cache is cleared and the Avatar is downloaded fresh. I've been going crazy for the past two weeks thinking that this was "socially engineered". If this is a "known issue", then an error message should display, and an error report should be generated that can be cross referenced in the Knowledge Base, and with technical support. Given that Basic Shaders are enabled by default, how are newbies supposed to find an article in the Knowledge Base that tells them, not to press the panic button, but to instead, disable Basic Shaders?

Solved! Appartently this is a "known issue" that nobody knew about...lol! Try Preferences>Graphics and then <uncheck> Basic Shaders. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Your-Avatar/My-Avatar-is-two-colors-top-pink-color-and-bottom-tan-Can-t-buy/td-p/1554453

When this happened before, a stock-SL Avatar would rez normally. When this started...again...argh!...my avatar would rez correctly, with "photorealistic skin", the pants would attach, however the shirt(s) would turn the torso pink. While my journey for an answer to different clothing/avatar designers shops proceeded with my pants on only, my torso turned pink and the "photorealistic" texture of the legs disappeared. So whatever is happening to my experience at SL, it is occuring while I'm walking around trying to solve my probs. There doesn't appear to be an option that hides my online status. Only one that stops me from getting messages about their comings and goings. "Will the last person out alive, please turn out the lights" (Douglas Adams)...

Now your starting to ask things like: How to place more content that is stored on the hard drive into System and Graphics RAM. Here's a fun one, about optimizing your Memory Usage, I haven't seen this benchmarked. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938581.aspx Remember to create a restore point and backup the registry BEFORE doing ANY editing.

If the SL client has been cleared and reinstalled, then try reinstalling Internet Explorer, a source of many Windows problems.

Try Clearing the Cache BEFORE logging in. This will allow all of the Avatar specific files to be redownloaded from the SL server. Bring up the Second Life loggin screen Go to the upper left hand corner <click> Me <click> Advanced <click> Clear Cache Changing this file, by renaming, could help also.

If your trying to boost the FPS, and the hardware is under utilized, then its probably a software issue. Try reinstalling IE9.

ThreeDify Designer is an OpenGL based 3D solid modeling, CAD prototyping and view mark-up application. It runs in either of two modes: as an ActiveX control in the Internet Explorer and as a standalone end-user application. It features an intuitive, non-blocking and customizable GUI, an import/export plug-in architecture, unlimited undo/redo, up to 6 view clipping planes, associative 3D dimensions (angular, radial, point-to-point, point-to-face, X-,Y- and Z-dimensions) for accurate model measurements, robust Boolean operations on 3D meshes and 2D polygons, 2D mark-up tools, 3D slicing for arbitrary or axis-aligned profile generation, polygon offset, one-click roof/wall/house creation, local vertex editing on 3D meshes, polylines and polygons, and an array of other powerful 3D object creation tools (e.g., extrusion from complex and nested profiles, 3D polygon and mesh creation from true type fonts, and optimal solid reconstruction from planar, non-parallel contours).

Figure this out... When I changed my <SecondLifeCache> file location, to a seperate storage drive, the avatar skins went Tricolor! When the folder was renamed the Avatars rezzed ok. Is this the one where you have an univited guest and they won't leave, and all you can do is hit the iggy button?

I think so... When I mention NAS(Network Attached Storage) people sometimes have a security attack. Once the network is compromised the NAS is exposed, without the protection of Windows. If the <SecondLifeCache> folder is moved to the NAS can it be accessed without logging into the NAS? My experience with USB storage and local Ethernet drives is that they are SLOW...ie 10mgs/sec rl. Good Luck!

My prob was that a resident gave me some of their self created(not bought on the market)skins and they were infected with something. As a part of my journey to the cure, I rolled back myATI Display driver, but that didn't change a thing. The skins etc. here are not state-of-the-art and so, shouldn't be a prob for any recent video cards. My Secondlife cache files are on a seperate hard drive, but I found TWO sets of automatically created cache files on my C: drive. C > Users > [username] > AppData > Local > Second Life C > Users > [username] > AppData > Roaming > Second Life There is also a folder with Viewer data in it at: C: > Program Files (x86) > Secondlife Deleting the remaining file folders, after uninstalling the old viewer, and reinstalling, could help too. When I cleared my cache, there were residual files in it. Going back and deleting whatever was left in them after the <clear cache> command, could have made a difference. Also, check your Inventory > current outfit Make sure that there aren't any residual (duplicate) skins etc.

This would be the perfect place for a SAS(Software As Service) implementation. How HUGE would it be if there was a place online that students could go to use Educational versions of software at a $/Hour rate? Professors could charge $/answer. This could be the begining of a school where students actually help each other, or get credit for helping each other. There would be a "Destination" named Expression, where everybody was working with Expression. Maybe even a way, for one student/Professor to view the screen, or a snapshot of the screen, of another student/Professor, inworld, and chat while mousing around the same shared view. Software could be used on a rent-to-own basis, where SL would keep track of the amount of money spent $/Hour, or $/Unit, and if the student stuck with it they would own it. The selling point would be dropping the cost of a course from hundreds of dollars per credit, to one of canned tutorials, and freestyling, leading to software purchase. The Activation Key Please! No monthly subscription fees, for software that doesn't get used. Companies would be motivated to make "Lite" versions of their software available freely to the interested public. Have you ever wanted to read only one chapter of a book? Or maybe read about what another author's book says about a certain subject; all without paying the full price of a book? IE9 is sandboxed, and Chrome supports HTML5, it'll be a while.

My tactic for building a system was two pronged. Put the OS and apps on an SSD(latencies drop dramatically with disk sizes over 120gb, 60gbs are slow when they approach half saturation). Then move the SL cache file to a relatively CHEAP HUGE hard disk, and set it's size to maximum(~10gigs). Make sure that your BIOS supports disks over 1 gig, the newer ones advertise disk support above 3 gigs as a feature. Hard disk latencies rise as the disk exceeds half saturation, so bigger can be better. Use file compression on the hard disk, to decrease file size, since its an I/O bottleneck, and CPUs have lots of extra capacity. To avoid problems, don't run any third party applications, that don't maintain an HTTPS(Secure Sockets Layer), including the SL viewer, from an administrative account. A seperate Guest account should be set up, so that if the app gets hacked, or the cache gets polluted, the griefers are only logged in as Guests, and can't get at your important OS, app and data files. Its cheaper than having an OS and Apps on one disk, and Data on another; or having to muck-about with seperate partitions, for saftey's sake. Would you pass the hardware, please.

Tried the Rebake, no luck. Cleared the Cache, and the extra "hanger on" shape disapeared. My system has an 8 core CPU, and the Graphics card has a few hundred GPUs, a gigabyte of GDR5, and 8 gigs of RAM. the latest driver has been installed for the Graphics Card. SL should render nicely.

Rebaked Cleared the Cache, and deleted all Second life folders, and deleted all content in every Cache folder. All of my custom avatars still have two colors. They all appear to have changed to the same size, and proportions. When a stock SL avatar is downloaded and the clothes are removed it looks normal (one color).

My "Current Outfit" contains 4 items: Bald Base Male Avatar Shape Skin Base Eyes There do not appear to be any lighting effects. My avatar follows my mouse pointer all over the screen, even after <clicking> ME>Movement>Stop Animating Me. This odd Pink torso with dark legs(no hair) seems to have spread to ALL of my custom avatars. When I download one of the stock SL avatars and remove the clothes, it looks normal.

got custom avatar shapes and skins, and they looked super for a day, until relogging in the next day. None of the skins will go on with the correct color. The torso is a light pinkish color, while the legs are darker. The faces look perfect. Cleared the cache files. Reinstalled Secondlife beta, and still no joy. All of the custom skins have the same weird color, and texture. There had been a Linden Labs item named "Male Shape and Hair 3" that was stuck to my avatar and would not remove itself even when other custom shapes and skins were added. The hair was absurd, with a big "driveway" down the middle, and obviously not what it had been when originally given to me. While relogging in didnot clear up this issue, clearning the cache and reinstalling the client did. So what's up with the torso and legs?
