This morning I went in-world to check possible sales :) when I noticed that a texture I uploaded as a bmp file last week had become all blurry, while all the other textures had not changed..

So I changed the format to tga, uploaded again and now it's OK. Not sure if this is a bug so I haven't reported it yet, but I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences ?

Thanks,

Margeaux

HIYA MARGEAUX :D

I've seen this happen temporarily to some graphics—they get stuck in blurriness and don't rez even further, even tho they are still there. Usually, a relog will cure it, and if that doesn't, press the CLEAR CACHE button in Preferences -> Network and see what happenes.

One quick solution I came up with while in game is to go out over the nearest protected land water sim or Governor Lindin land and return for some reason it helps reset your video. it's not a perminate fix and may not allways work but hase hellped me and we have very good video cargs Nividia FX 5950 with 256 Mb video Ram on AMD A64 3000+ systems with 1.5Gb Ram. we still have issues even with a 6Mb downstream.

Hope it helps you and possibly others.
