Strange happenings. I am running Second Life on two computers, with 4 different avatars, two premiums and two ordinary. One of my common activities is going into Grimly's Combat System (GCS) Zombie sims to chop zombies. I use both SL Viewer and Firestorm, but prefer SLV. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that on one of my computers (my gaming desktop) when using SLV in GCS, my avatars have had the following problems. I can load all weapons and move around but my weapons do not function. I move the avi by hitting my arrow keys, and normally the weapon "fires" each time I step. When I log into SL by using Firestorm, all avi's work as per normal on both computers in Grimly's. Yesterday when I logged in to SL using SLV on my "working" computer (laptop), I was notified that there was an upgrade being installed. When I subsequently logged into a GCS sim, I found that my avi's on this computer were behaving in the same manner as on the desktop computer.
I've downloaded SLV on each computer, doing an uninstall and re-install, keeping only the bare essential files, but this seems to have had little effect, save that immediately upon entering a GCS sim with one of my avi's yesterday, it worked perfectly, but when I changed weapons, the system reverted to its non-working state.
Is this a known problem? It only seems to occur with SLV, and not Firestorm.
Thanks in advance
