I really need some help. I've contacted SL support but no response yet. I get coloured triangles all over my screen and keep having to switch from low to med in the graphics tab to fix it temporarily.

I never had the problem when I first started playing SL only been since I downloaded 1.19 and 1.20.

I downloaded onrez viewer and it doesn't have the graphic problem so I no it isn't my computer it the SL download.

Problem with onrez is I can't turn my handsfree off so I'm kinda stuck. Deal with the graphics problem or deal with handsfree on all the time.

Can someone help with one or the other please.

Thanks,

I get these as well.

The triangles seem to come from rotating prims and from my avatar. Turning my camera also causes objects to "not draw" or start looking crazy and demented. I've only experienced this problem *some* of the time.

Usually when I relog it's fine. If I just perserve, the distortion gets worse and worse, with even chunks of the land "dragging" across the screen. Other times the problem will disappear on its own.

Graphics Card: 128mb Radeon x300/x550 series
OS: XP Professional

System has not changed since I last ran SL, though it has been 6mths since my last client update. I think something has changed in the viewer over those last 6mths to cause the problem.
