I don't know if someone else has had this problem, but ever since the last SL update (1.19.1.4) that I've experienced some graphic problems in sims with more than a couple of people.

Here's a screenshot:


CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Northwood (2393 MHz)
Memory: 1023 MB
OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Graphics Card Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
Graphics Card: CONNECT 3D RADEON 9600 Series x86/SSE2
OpenGL Version: 2.0.6956 WinXP Release

Graphic settings currently to the minimum, but also tried the recommended settings and higher ones.

Did this happen to anyone else?

I had exactly the same problem with 1.19.1.4. Disabling the VBO as the last poster suggested did help, although I never had to do that before. (I'm running SL off my Dell Inspiron 6000, with a marginal but qualified graphics card -- Radeon X300 -- 1 GB RAM, 2MHz, WinXP SP1, etc.). And I've noticed SL now runs much slower on other systems, too.

Sorry that's not much help. Try the VBO setting. And hope that maybe someone at LL monitors the forums? Good luck.

Pixelllated avatars is a feature to reduce loading time-look under avatar imposters in the graphics menu. You can switch it off.
