I'm apologizing in advance if this has already been brought up. I did a quick forum search and didn't find any helpful posts on the subject though.

So...the past month or two I've been getting this strange problem where my avatar is always showing up transparent. All attachments (tails, horns, other clothing attachments and whatnot) show up solid and fine, but actual clothing items (shirt, pants, etc) and my skin itself is transparent, flickering occasionally. Other peoples' avatars occasionally have this issue in my viewer, but for my avatars it's a constant.

My drivers are fully updated, and I'm using an ATI Radeon 4870, 1 gig graphics card. I've experimented with a variety of graphics settings, to no avail.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a way to fix it?

^^ Ditto.

It's just been since the last client update. It's frustrating.

I have had this happen when changing clothes/skin lately also. (XP/Nvidia/Snowglobe).

Rebaking the textures (Ctrl-Alt-R) seems to fix it for me and others around me, thank heaven.

Confirmed - the "Rebake Textures" deal works.
