  1. I think pro street cars PSC, has some like that.

    But yeah the majority of vehicles in SL uses permission system instead of locking doors cuz reasons ex: ppl can cam inside and still sit even if the vehicle is locked, instead the permission system eject them at the moment they try to interact with the vehicle.

  2. Some creators enable auto-deliveries, when an item gets updated so this deployment is send to all people that brought it in the past no exceptions and depending of your viewer configuration a prompt will ask to accept/decline/block/ignore/yes or no OR if set to auto accept saved directly into your inventory

    Others do not use this function, So if the person wish to update one or more items, must be done manually in a re-delivery terminal and depending of the provider MD, Caspervend,etc you must compare the version number shown in the list with the version number of the item in your inventory that is shown in the name, edit mode object description or properties to see which one is the most recent then hit re-delivery.

    Hello. Today i did update Firestorm and my antywirus some plicks delete and my Firestorm dont work good. So i did install Black Dragon Viever and idk how do that will look like Firestorm. How i open this all people are grey. Idk how do it that will look normal. Later camera is next my avatar and how walk this i need use mause that will go left or right. How i use alone keyboard this camera dont move like avatar. Later idk how do it that i will see on viever how much i have lindes. How do it all ? Please help me 🙏

    This is cuz the Viewer by default jelly doll like the first comment said bad optimized avatars. to override this you must open Preferences(Ctrl + p keys like all viewers)>>Display tab>> scroll down till you see the performance category. There you will move the max. avatar complexity slider all the way to the right till it says Unlimited. Max visible avatars can stay at 5 or 3. Have in mind this will affect your experience depending of your pc and the nature of the region you're at.

     

    Now to see your L$ balance inside Black Dragon: CTRL+ I keys this will open your inventory, the linden $ count will be at the top of the inventory window next to the item count.

    Any other questions about the viewer I recommend join to the viewer discord:  https://discord.gg/SucYaDC (read the welcome channel so you know how things work there and where to ask).

  4. If you used the local poser to pose your avatar, this one saves the XML file for local use only for the viewer. If you wish to create animations (anim files) to import or export to other viewers you must use the creator pose found at Dragon(menu)>My useful features>Pose creator. And read the descriptions the window shows. Make sure to use the latest version

    Then these are saved at appdata directory:

    C:\Users\"your pc username"\AppData\Roaming\BlackDragon\user_settings\animations

    "your pc username" means the name your pc user has. To access appdata press windows key + R key in your keyboard and type in %appdata% in the dialog box, click run.

    "Do$h bank" - Recharge or buy linden dollars for the first time

    "Fresh style" - Buy or get a new head, hair, clothes or body for your avatar

    "Move, resize, rotate it" - Use SL building tools in a sandbox

  6. First verify if the inventory shows in other viewer.

    Clear cache in your viewer, re-log in a low lag region can be Hippo Hollow as example or any low lag sandbox, open the inventory window, use the search bar inside the inventory, type anything to kick a full inventory refresh. rinse and repeat till it works 

    These steps cover all viewers since is the same procedure in all: https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_missing_inventory https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Inventory_loss

    Provided my myself. But yeah in short is a very well known bug with some nvidia driver update back in 2022 that causes openGL apps (Including SL) to have graphical artifacts https://jira.secondlife.com/projects/BUG/issues/BUG-232264 https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/driver-516-40-causing-visual-artifacts-on-windows-and-linux-for-second-life-viewers-opengl/217799

    The solution is clean install the driver like the images show: Open Geforce>Drivers>download the newest update available> click custom install>let geforce prep the driver>If windows UAC (user account control) Ask Y/N you must press Yes or the process will be cancelled> when geforce pop up a box you check perform a clean install box and hit install. And the driver will factory reset to the newer one fixing this issue.

    But if you have by default the first driver windows install when booting up a pc out the box is recommended use DDU before install the newest driver: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/1001/wagnard-tools-ddugmptdr-manipulator-new-cpu-core-a/

  8. Like the others said there is no best viewer.

    Just test them all have in mind what your computer can handle and what no, the nature of SL regions, etc. No crank everything to high or ultra all time see a perfect point for you.

    After all, all viewers are the same code from LL with some extra functions unique to each one, heck even same if not all shortcuts: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/All_keyboard_shortcut_keys (if a shortcut doesn't work in one means it's combo key has been replaced or the function doesn't exist)

    All viewers can be daily drivers if you known the points mentioned above and have knowledge of how to change preferences including graphics/display options depending of the situation.

    Do not believe what hardcore fans of fs, singularity, official, alchemy, black dragon, catznip, kirsten, cool, genesis and the rest found at: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory says, go test by yourself each one, configure them to a point you feel is good for you, compare them to see what is what you like, test them at  least for 2 weeks, etc in the end you will find what you like and feel home with.

     

    Note: remember I said some may have or not unique functions, have in mind not all will have the popular options as area search or hide/show look at the easy way. *Coughs*
    https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Show_Look_At *coughs*

     

     

  9. This is because steam still keeps the ID, game community HUB, screenshots, DLCs IDs, hrs of usage of the program/game/movie as archive and proof that an account played and brough or added(in the case of f2p tittles) the license .

    Why because some people payed/added/etc the product to their accounts and in rare cases the devs/publisher still allow them to access and play the content and servers as example Athem from EA, the first watch dogs from ubisoft or fallguys from the same dev/publisher. But it is no longer available for new users/costumers in the store to get it.

    Sure this no means SL its gonna get re-release in steam that's up to the devs if they see a market opportunity in that distribution platform and if it ever gets re-release again the program will get assigned a new ID, community hub,etc and cannot use the old ones it had in the past.

  10. From the official Discord server of the Viewer, the thread discussion I create, read the next image.

    But in short the error MSVCR120.dll/0xc000007b means vcredist runtime 2015-2017-2019-2022 x64 AND vcredist  runtime 2013 x64 are missing from the computer and no installed, the viewer needs these to run download them and restart your pc. the viewer should start correctly now:

    vcredist runtime 2015-2017-2019-2022 x64
     Download and Install.:
    https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

    vcredist  runtime 2013 x64
     Download, Install and Restart the computer.:
    https://aka.ms/highdpimfc2013x64enu

     

    And as the last point in the image says if these no solution the problem verify windows or clean install it:

    NVIDIA have now brought out v516.59 for Windows, which is reported to correct the problem.

    I am not sure that a fix is out for Linux yet.

    Windows 11 pro and current using the new GRD 516.59 (on a 3060 desktop and tested on a lap 1660) look like it fixed those opengl artifacts behavior. No problems on the viewer I use (it should be fixed for all now including thirdparties)

    How do you roll back the graphics driver?

    Guide https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/driver-rollback/

    You can search your drivers using this (you must know your gpu model name, series and if is desktop or laptop)https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx

    In case of being windows 10/11 in the select menu you must select DCH and recommended/certified, Example:

    Screenshot_20220622-173357.png.5711af72d60e2f364102e034f1cd0c1b.png

    Is recommended if you play other "games" stick to the GRD(gaming ready drivers) and rollback/download the 512.95 or 512.77 which are stable, If you just use SL go ahead with the SRD(studio ready driver) but have in mind this one is optimized for creators workflow Stable SRD: 512.96

    When you select and downloaded one of these run the installer>when it opens and ask you for select a option check custom(avanced) then press next/continue>in the section were it tells you what's gonna install in the checkbox at the bottom check "perform a clean install" then start the rollback/install. Your pc screen will flash black or will blackout for a few minutes during this. Is a normal driver install behavior do not panic

    After that you ready until Nvidia fixes the problem in the next update soon or later

    Ok, thanks for the confirming it. When it comes to GPU driver, I avoid to update it unless it's a security issue. I'll wait a bit since I'm not actively creating contents and can live without the advanced lighting.

     

    you can report the problem to Nvidia using: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/494630/geforce-grd-51640-feedback-thread-released-61522/ (click the "To report a software issue, please fill out the NVIDIA driver feedback form  -  Click Here")
    To report problems about the current driver you must specify the error with avanced light model, where it happens(you must type second life), in API select OpenCL, and the steps to reproduce it. And it will ask stuff about your pc components.

    But yeah if we give feedback to nvidia maybe later or soon one of the new coming drivers fixes this artifact behavior with avanced light.

  14. As reported back in Jira it affects all viewers: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-232264 Rollback to the GRD(gaming ready driver) 512.95 or GRD512.77 from May 12th and 24th should fix it , in some rare cases people report the 512.95 does the same so I can only recommend try with the GRD  512.77 

    512.77 https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/188990/en-us/ (laptops) 

    512.77 https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/188989/en-us/ (desktops)

    If you gonna go the SRD (studio ready driver) have in mind these are optimized for creator workflow and can nerf certain games. If you play other stuff stick to GRD and rollback to last month ones.

    If just SL go ahead SRD having that in mind:

    Screenshot_20220616-133620.png

    Stable SRD: 512.96 

    Stable GRDs: 512.95(depends of some gpus) or 512.77

    Some reports say AMD counter part new drivers cause the same maybe due to these pushing a newer version opengl and vulkan render protocols same as nvidia

  15. Yeah I will recommend check in furaffinity or twitter to see what furry second life creators are open to do comission custom work 

     Meanwhile that marketplace suggestion can be a good start point, you will just need the items it needs and say on the description to work and for the base body can be any of the ones that allow BOM, examples: jake belleza, Legacy fit/athletic, kario, signature. To name a few

  16. What I recommend is Rollback to the 512.95 or 512.77 driver from may 2022 since these have no problems

    512.77 https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/188990/en-us/ (laptops) 

    512.77 https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/188989/en-us/ (desktops)

    Now if your graphics card is no listed in the "supported Products" tab use this https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx you will need to know  your graphics card type: series, if is desktop or notebook(aka laptops) and full model name, OS(operating system) windows,linux,etc and in the windows type driver: you must select DCH and in recommended/beta: recommended/certified after that a list should pop up from most recent to 1 year old drivers (just download the 512.95 or 512.77 ) 

    Example pics: 

    unknown.png

    unknown.png

     

    After that the driver should rollback. As a tip I recommend in the installer select custom(avanced)> then check the checkbox perform a clean install it should factory set up the rollback driver. example:

    servlet.png

    perform-a-clean-installation.png

    Only DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)  if you jumped from a very old driver to the current one that causes problem and want to rollback to one of the two from may or when your driver is corrupted aka BSOD, Error messages,etc

     

    The Nvidia studio drivers are ONLY Recommended for creators: artist, CAD, design, programing or any other hightech areas/tasks. if you're a regular gamer or play other stuff stick to the GRD(gaming ready driver) if else go ahead change to the SRD(studio ready driver) having this in mind:

    2k for a integrated graphics no even dedicated  lol if you want a slider show like powerpoint go for it, the other one has good specs but that nvidia should be a 1660, 2060 or even a 3060 but after all is dell I never trusted them

    HyperX 8 GB DDR4-3200 MHz XMP Heatsink RAM (1 x 8 GB)

    First error for AMD cpus, always make sure is in dual config and same specs example you will want 2x4gb ddr4 3200 to make 8gb or 2x8gb, 2x16gb, etc ryzen hates single ram and impacts it hard

  19. I never had problems with acer gaming laptops, but in the other hand dell is just...and they systems are bloated af, I remember a friend bought a Alienware m16 the thing just worked one month before it died dell support was like apple support "just buy a new one warrantly don't cover it"

  20. I can recommend 2 brands of laptops I have good experiences with one is a know OEM and the other a custom OEM (OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer aka all companies that create computers or tech), 

    And as  Coffee said, have this in mind,  plus the settings of the viewer you use matters since SL impacts hardware a different way due to the nature of it's world you no want to crank everything to ultra without knowing if your hardware gonna handle it or no

    SL does not run like games (or anything else really), it's heavily CPU bound and will only really ever use a single core. A fast responsive GPU helps, but SL wont ever use it to it's full potential. SL also doesn't like WiFi and you will invariably suffer from packet loss from time to time.

    acer nitro V series 2019-2022 are good starters laptops

    for this one I will say the prometheus xvii series is a beast of machine

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IibIzB5kdZ0

    Other thing if the laptop is going to sit a whole day in a desk get a coolingpad (example pics below) what it does help the laptop with the airflow so it no drown itself trying to get fresh air from outside and helps getting fresh air to the components the own laptop fans cant cover prolonging the life of the device.
