I’ve been experiencing an issue for quite some time now whereby textures are not fully loading. I can be standing in one location and not move for 20 minutes, and quite a few of the textures will never fully load (in other words, still fuzzy). There’s no activity on the bandwidth meter. It just stops loading (until I right-click on the offending object, at which point, the texture of that object loads). This started happening after a new SL client release (I don’t recall which one). No hardware was changed on my machine.
One post regarding a similar problem on the First Look viewer (/333/90/165559/1.html) suggests it could be a conflict with anti-virus software, but I’m not running any such program. I tried the First Look viewer (1.3.13.58185) to see if it made a difference, but get the same results with that.
I've installed SL on other machines (both PC and Mac), and am not seeing this problem on them. I’ve tried setting my SL video and network settings identically on this machine, but it doesn’t make a difference. I’m running the latest drivers for my video cards, but non-beta nVidia drivers for this version of the OS are still rather new, so I haven’t completely ruled that out yet.
Has anyone run into this, or have any ideas?
Thanks!
