Thank you for including one of the sites for me! ^^

Tried that. Didn't work. I don't have any problems, because I did this already.

Hi there! Feel free to call me Mae.
Now, I have been running into people over the past few months that had some problems very similar to the ones I had involving Firestorm and AMD drivers. What usually happens is the following errors/glitches occur:
- Mesh does not render on yourself or others
- Mesh renders poorly/stretches or flickers randomly
- Lines appear across the screen for SecondLife only
- Checking the Hardware Skinning option under graphics fixes this, but causes the Mesh to look ugly
- Changing LOD for Mesh to 4.0 doesn't fix these issues
So I spent a few weeks searching through various options until I found something that finally works. It turns out that there is a problem between SecondLife and AMD drivers when it comes to mesh products rendering properly. This is where a very simple fix comes into play until AMD gets off it's butt to fix the issue the driver updates caused.
This link will contain a folder with some files that were taken from a previous version of Firestorm. If you copy these files and paste them into the Firestorm directory, it should fix the issues I mentioned above. I have tried with 3 or 4 other people with these issues and it has fixed each of them.
The path to the firestorm folder is something along the lines of: C:\Program Files\Firestorm-Betax64
The files are available to download here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/go1s2qugd7e4eep/AAB2rwVPg5vDSajRR7OM2izha?dl=0
Thank you to the person below for pulling up one of the original places I went to for the files listed above:

I know they don't come cheap. I am not THAT picky, either.
I am open to negotiation, but I am also very firm in the decision that anything I commission isn't going to someone else. Custom work is supposed to remain just that, custom. I will rewrite this in a moment since you bring up a valid point.
Edit- removed the TOS, and will discuss it with whoever is available to the comission

Wish I knew how to help ya. I know this works for AMD users, but not sure what to do for other cards.
