Loading textures

Hi.

I'm new here, and i would like to know if is normal thath i need to right click in a wall (for example) to see the texture.

If I rightclick, the texture appear at the moment, if not, the texture don't appear never, or take much time.

Cheers.

This is a problem in SL, apparently. Its texture loading priority is a mystery.

Things were much improved for me by getting a graphics card with more memory. I went from 64M to 256M and it's like playing a different game. Textures are much more likely to load now, but sometimes I still stare at grey or blurry images, forever.

I wish there was a "I'm done loading images--it ain't gonna get better than this--you can stop waiting for things to improve" indicator on the screen.

This seems to be a really bad problem lately. It's not just you. I stood in one place for 10 minutes before everything rezzed properly. I'm getting very frustrated with this. BUT if I relog and come back, the place will be rezzed immediately. I get sick of logging in and out. Linden... please fix this problem!!

Well, no need to relogin, right click works for me .

2 days in a row i tried to apply a texure and the texture shows up as gray. Last nite i logged and this morning came back in and the texture still didnt show on the object. I finally changed the texture and it worked. This has happened a couple of times in the past couple days. Happens with my grass too.. Just stays gray and never rezzes. If it happens again I will report as a bug.

What helps for me is to go into Prefs -> Network and move the bandwidth slider +10 or -10 and then hit the OK button. This seems to "reset" the connection to sim and loads the missing textures.

I'm seeing exactly the same behavior. I can sit still in a private sim with two other avatars for 15 or 20 minutes and still have textures around me that haven't rezzed properly. Looking at the bandwidth indicator shows no activity (I.E.: nothing being transmitted). If I click on the texture, or hover my mouse over it for a while, it will "pop" into place.

I've been observing this behavior for about two weeks now: I can't pin down the exact date it started, but around about the time SL hit the one million subscriber mark. It does not seem to be sim or client load related- I'm seeing the same problem everywhere, all the time, including as I noted above in a private sim with virtually no load at all: packet loss was well below 0.5%, time dilation was 1.0, bandwidth utilization was at or below 100 Kbps on a 4.5 Mbps business grade ADSL link.

I commented in another thread (and described my configuration) on what might be a related topic- people indicating that "jiggling" the maximum bandwidth slider seems to (temporarily at least) fix a similar problem. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't comment regarding whether this works for my specific problem.

If the bandwidth slider work around works for me, I'm going to bug report it again.

I now have a private skybox I can go to in a sim that does not yet have any clubs or casinos. Yesterday there were about a dozen avatars in the sim, and the low-prim skybox is within visual range only of a neighbor's construction debris. No prim-heavy structures, no malls...

A good place to upload textures and create clothes? Nope.

Yesterday I could not get my pants to rez for the life of me. Rebake. In/out of appearance editor. Log out/in. Bandwidth slider. Nothing worked. My pants were blurry for a half hour at a time, and when they finally rezzed they stayed focused for under a minute before blurring again. A visitor was grey for ten minutes, and he told me I was grey.
