Oooh okay, right now "Anisotropic Filtering" and"Enable OpenGL Vertext Buffer Object" isn't selected, and my "Enable Texture Memory" is greyed out. Perhaps this is why my camera isn't working? I'll have to try it out later today to see if it will make a difference once I click on those boxes, but I'm a little busy at the moment. Thank you so much though- I will definitely try this out to see if this is causing the issue!

I am not a techie so I have no idea what VRAM is, but thank you for letting me know! I'll do some more research on it.

I am going to sleep now, but I will make sure to respond to your questions and input tomorrow!

Alrighty. I guess I did it incorrectly. I will try again- and I will join the in world support group for futher assistance.

Before the update I was able to take them at that size without crashing or freezing, it was the perfect ratio for me. But now I am unable to- as you mentioned, my computer freezes and crashes. I'm trying to figure out why this is the case. I think it might have something to do with how I installed the newer updated version. And regarding SL pics being viewed at 4:3, that's something I've never heard of before, but if that's the case then I guess that makes things a little more simpler. Perhaps I won't have to be as concerned about the quality of my picture. I do post on flickr as well, and I do know that there is a big SL community there, but I mostly post on Instagram.

Yes! It seems that a smaller ration does work, and when taken, the image quality looks almost the same (as what I used to take it at). However, when I post the picture on Instagram- the quality is terrible (partially because Instagram tends to degrade an image's quality). The reason why I'm not letting it slide so easily is because I know my computer is capable of taking 6144 x 3155 pictures, it's just that now for some reason it cannot, so it's been bugging me.

Thank you for your response, it means a lot to me. I am relatively new to Second Life (I've only really been on it actively for a few months despite creating an account about a year ago) and was very clumsy when it came to updating the FS viewer. I didn't know I could run into such issues and therefore unfortunately didn't read any release notes and quickly proceeded to install the newer version. I am at fault for that. Regarding the texture chache issue, I'm not sure what that is or how to change it- but I will definitely check it out. I haven't tried the SL viewer yet (I will try that), however, I have tried taking photos in Black Dragon and the same issue occurs. I am beginning to think that it has something to do with my settings/cache/data. I had no idea the backup & save / restore data was even possible on SL, so I didn't make any new restore settings. I simply uninstalled the newer version (when I realized the camera had an issue) and installed the older one- then tried to take a picture and it didn't work. I have tried doing a clean install- I'm not sure if I did it properly, however- I'm not sure if it did much since my data seems to be already messed up. I'm not sure if what I'm saying makes sense- I'm still quite confused about this whole thing and this issue has brought up so many new things that I was unaware of regarding SL and its functions.

Hmm I tried it but it still doesn't work. I think doing the clean install didn't do much since my settings were already messed up. Thank you for your input though! I will continue to figure out.

Ooh okay, thank you so much. I will try this out in a bit!

I think I did? I'm not sure though. I'm pretty sure I uninstalled the older version first before I installed the new one (if this is what you were referring to)- but perhaps I didn't do that and is the reason why this issue has occured?

Ever since I've updated Firestorm to the latest version- my camera hasn't been working properly. When I change my graphics to Ultra and attempt to take a photo, Firestorm crashes. However, it does this when the photo image is at a certain size. Prior to updating Firestorm, I was able to take pictures on Ultra at an image size of 6144 x 3155. Now I cannot. At most, the highest I can take it at is 5450 x 2799, and that has had a devastating effect on the photo quality. Now when I try to take a picture, the photo pop up window will appear- however, the picture does not render and is instead blank (as shown in the picture attached below). A loading sign will appear (the screen will freeze), and after a few minutes it will say the system has crashed (see image below which says "bugsplat"). I have tried uninstalling the updated version and going back to the older version, however, despite going back to the older version, this issue still occurs. Is there a way to fix this? Do any of you might know why this is happening? I have submitted a ticket to Linden Labs and was told to submit one to Firestorm as it is a third party server (which I have done a couple of days ago- but haven't recieved a response yet) so I just thought I could ask here to see if anyone knows what the issue might be.

Just sent in my application!
