If by SL, you mean Linden Lab, note that the Lab did not block 4.69, it was the developers of the third party Firestorm viewer who took this action, as you can read here: http://www.firestormviewer.org/ Take the matter up with Firestorm support and also try other viewers.

Basic shaders - Makes inworld look less "flat". Atmospheric shaders - Realistic sky and water appearance. Basic shaders must be on for this to be enabled. Water reflections - Whether water reflections appear. I assume you disabled basic shaders in the first place as your system is less than optimal for the graphics demand of Second Life but using basic shaders does demand resources so unfortunately that is the trade-off for you. Disabling basic shaders also disables atmospheric shaders. Second Life doesn't look too pretty with all those shaders disabled. You could try another viewer and see if mesh looks better with it or upgrade your system.

I noticed this recently too. I rezzed a shopping box on the floor of my home the other day and later tripped over it as it had become invisible. I was able to select and delete it, so in that respect it's not like the invisible prims of old which you couldn't select and delete.

You need to set your inventory filters. As you use Firestorm, have a read of this web page: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/my_inventory_tab Set the filters to reflect what you wish to see in Recent.

You say you have checked everything at your end but haven't said what. Could be the region you're trying to log into needs restarting so if logging in to another region doesn't solve your issue, have a read of this thread and check out the links mentioned, especially Nalate's comprehensive Troubleshooting page. https://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Requesting-Region-Capabilities/qaq-p/2731810

Lydia, you can most definitely submit an Abuse Report on this as it is breach of the Linden Home Covenant. This should include a photo of the issue and details of how unsightly and annoying it is from your perspective. Linden Lab respond very quickly to such abuses in the Linden Home areas and you should see it dealt with within a few days. I've had to do this on a number of occasions, the fastest response was 8 hours, the slowest about a week. They do not of course disclose who submitted the abuse report.

All I can think of is this: Mesh Appears Splotchy, Blotchy, or Has Strange Patches of White or Colors In Preferences → Graphics → General, make sure Basic Shaders and Hardware Skinning are enabled. If this doesn't solve your issue, please add some images of what you are seeing. You can use Options - Edit to add these.

My graphics card was once very good with Second Life. I could run two avatars inworld quite comfortably. However, performance gradually became worse as it aged and Second Life demanded more of graphics cards. It got to the point over the past few months that it kept freezing and/or crashing in busy areas and I had to reboot the computer exactly as you describe. I installed a new graphics card a few days ago and all is well now. The HP Envy is a 15" laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GT 740M graphics card. This is quite a basic card to attempt gaming with and it is not surprising it is struggling to run the Second Life viewer, which demands more of graphics cards than most games. Try the Singularity viewer. You may cope a bit better with it. http://www.singularityviewer.org/ EDIT: Check that your laptop is switching from the onboard Intel HD 4600 to the Nvidia card when playing SL. The 740M is a bit better than the Intel so would help if not automatically switching.

Relogging should update the inworld Linden balance or press Ctrrl-Alt-B. An inworld transaction should also undate the balance inworld. If the above fails, contact Billing: https://support.secondlife.com/billing-support/

Glad you're back to normal. Be thankful you didn't accidentally delete and trash over 100 outfits as I did a couple of weeks ago while doing inventory maintenance.I nearly had a heart attack when the count dropped from about 17,000 to 13,000. Only got a few back so far on redelivery and I'll probably give up on the rest. Recent purchases over the past few months luckily were in a different folder.

As you can't trust your computers to give you an accurate indication on boob bounce, why not invite a few close friends over and get some sort of consensus from them as to what setting looks right to them. The result may still look wrong to you, too high or too low depending on what machine you're using, but hopefully will be correct for the general SL populace. Personally, I find boob bounce quite variable depending on what sim I'm in and how busy it is and often dial it in way too high I expect.

That's unfortunate. At least Niramyth uses a redelivery terminal so presumably was easy to get replacements. I groan every time Maitreya releases a new update to the Lara mesh body as it means a lot of work updating outfits too.

Your inventory is most likely safe on the LL servers but you perhaps have a corrupted inventory cache on your computer. Have you tried manually clearing your cache and allowing it re-populate, hopefully with all your missing items? Here is how: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear I should add that personally I never actually delete anything until I see all is well on a relog. I simply add the suffix '_old' to the viewer folder in AppData_Local. If all is well on relog, only then do I go back and delete files. If your items are still gone, you'll have to go down the re-delivery route. Good luck

This very old archived thread, which I saved a long time ago, may be of use to you. Also, the free Photoshop plug-in, Solidify, mentioned in the thread as designed to deal with this issue, is still available from Flaming Pears. http://forums-archive.secondlife.com/109/2e/79674/1.html http://www.flamingpear.com/free-trials.html - scroll down to Free Plug-ins.

Thanks, and of course I accept your apology. Banlines are found all over SL and not as many as you may think are active in Linden Home areas. You do know you can turn off seeing banlines with one click in the viewer. I never see them. I didn't refer to where you live but I'm glad you like Bay City. Unfortunately, its empty streets devoid of people apart from a few wandering souls and those gathered in the clubs there render it somewhat unappealing to me. When built, it was a more vibrant place. There seems to be a rather large number of parcels for sale there but the silly prices asked would not entice me. As regards your little dig about responding to the OP's comments, you do realise she posted six months ago, don't you? EDIT: Online communities clearly don't work in the same way as RL communities for obvious reasons and SL is no different. It is a very misused word. You can call small groups of houses and other buildings in a sim, with a few rules on conformity, a community if you wish but it isn't a true community. SL residents in any area may live in different time zones, be online at different times, have different tastes in music, entertainment etc. You can be anywhere in SL in a few seconds so you don't need to live in what you term a community. SL residents in the same sim will shop in different shops and go to clubs in disparate parts of SL, such as yours, which is not in a 'community'. As I said, apart from being in clubs, green dots in Bay City and surrounding sims are few and far between. How is that a true community? Are there shops in the sim you live in that you can walk to. Is there a club you can walk to? Is there a park you can walk to? Do you meet neighbours enroute wandering around the roads? Is there anything you can get to without teleporting? You're too young in SL (unless you're reincarnated) to remember First Land, where residents abused the system devised by Linden Lab so blatantly, it had to be discontinued in February 2007. If Linden Lab provided land amidst Linden Home communities to allow residents indulge their building passions for shops, clubs and parks, the same abuses would soon appear and I can't see Linden Lab sparing scarce resources to looking after those areas. There is plenty of mainland or rented land for residents to indulge themselves in that fashion.

Well, no Lindens read or respond here, we're all residents just like you. This is not an uncommon issue. Your inventory is most likely safe on the LL servers but you perhaps have a corrupted inventory cache on your computer. Have you tried manually clearing your cache and allowing it re-populate, hopefully with all your missing items? Here is how: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear Let us know if that solves your problem. If you need to add further comments, use Options > Edit.

Hi FoxyCellie, Assuming you're talking about a Linden Home, here's how as detailed here: https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Linden-Homes/ta-p/700103#Section_.3: To change your choice of Linden Home type, you must abandon your current Linden Home and then register for a new one. To abandon your Linden Home: Choose World > About Land and click the General tab. Click Abandon Land. After you confirm your choice, the land is removed from your account. Now if you wish, you can register for another Linden Home. Warning: Please use this reasonably: if you abandon and choose a new Linden Home five times in 24 hours, you are temporarily blocked from choosing another. You will need to wait 24 hours before registering again.

SAULGOODiE, I'm somewhat bemused by your comments on Linden Homes. Linden Homes have the same privacy land controls as any other land in Second Life. You can allow public access, group access or named residents, so saying all Premium Homes have privacy protection with banlines is simply nonsense. Yes, all Premium Home sims are residential, that is why they are called Linden Homes not Linden Homes, Clubs and Shops. Having endured serious lag issues from some residents, one who chose to open a club in his home beside me and another who started a horse breeding business on the other side, I am thankful for Linden Lab's covenant which forbids business use. Abuse Reports had them gone very quickly. Same for a shop that opened nearby. It's been quiet and peaceful for a long time now. Do you seriously believe residents want busy clubs etc beside their homes creating lag? As regards parks, there is easy access to sizeable parkland areas between the themes, around the edges of the continents as well as tree and paths dotted throughout the houses. I have a small park right between me and the sea, a lovely location. Why would anyone feel the need to open any more parks. Linden lab did create community hubs but I was only in one once and I've no idea if anyone uses them. Why would they? My friends, who live all over SL, and I, all socialise in our favourite clubs as we've always done since I joined late 2006. I've owned mainland for a shop as well as rented shop space and rented various homes in private regions. Of the latter, I can only think of one where the landlord created a community hub and tried to get residents involved, with little success. After a while he decided to sell his island and kicked us all out and that isn't the first landlord I've experienced who has done that. I've happily lived in my Linden Home since they were released in February 2010, six pleasant years. To say these homes are only good for practicing interior decoration and a safe place to get dressed is an insult, both to me and to others living there. What really puzzles me, given your stance here, is that your club and other meeting places are all isolated away from any communities. Why not place your club within a home community instead of 900 metres in the sky over a somewhat desolated mainland landscape? Anyway, here are some photos of parkland and other attractive features on Nascera, where I live.

It is absolutely impossible for a resident to delete a Linden Premium Home. You can't delete any trees created by Linden Lab either, only objects your yourself rezzed or created there. I suspect you derendered the house by accident.

I hope you just deleted and not emptied Trash. I accidentally deleted a folder full of clothes recently during an inventory clear-out but also emptied the Trash, luckily just older clothes and not those purchased in the past few months. Submitted a ticket but not hopeful. Maitreya has a redelivery terminal in its store at the back to the left so you can get any of that store's items you owned immediately. LeLutka also has a redelivery terminal in-store. I'm not sure offhand about Blueberry and KC Shoes so check in-store but if not, send a notecard to the store owners and same for any other missing items. I found those I contacted very helpful. The main problem is remembering what you had but checking your Outfits folder should help there. If you purchased on Marketplace, you have access to all purchases you ever made but if inworld, you can only go back 30 days.

Well, as Jennifer Boyle says in this thread, it can be done as she has done it. Try her method. https://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussion-Forum/Running-Second-Life-from-a-flash-drive/td-p/1427391

Well, as you have the Semperon 2.1 GHz, that seems to be the Semperon 3300 line so they do have SSE2 support. Only the old 2500 has SSE. Refer here and click your processor model: http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/AMD/Sempron/3300+_(rev._D0).html

The Nvidia GeForce 7025 is an old integrated card, in other words, it's built into the motherboard. I think it was released in about 2010. It's undoubtedly struggling to run Second Life. What you may be able to do is add a discrete mid-range Nvidia graphics card such as the GTX 750 Ti to your computer if you have the room inside the case and the necessary power supply to run it. You may have to replace the PSU if not powerful enough to run the 750 Ti. It needs a minimum 300W but 400W would be better. EDIT: Just thought of another potential issue. It's possible your Semperon processor does not support SSE2 only SSE and Second Life requires SSE2. https://secondlife.com/support/system-requirements/ You need an AMD Athlon 64 processor at least so even if you add what I suggested, you will still be unable to run SL. Perhaps invest in a new computer.

Perhaps the Raptr In-Game Overlay was causing issues for me too, I had been crashing quite a lot the past week. Anyway, thanks for that comprehensive explanation and all those links Whirly. I'm sure your posts will help others too.
