Is it me or does some avatars look just wrong now?...I have one AV that wears a black tuxedo coat and pants but now they are solid black with no texture..also the frame or skeleton under the AV skin is all distorted for some reason now for me and sticks out from under the AV

Have you tried updating your video card drivers, and also switching off some of the new graphics options (like vertex shaders) might help?

Uh.. Yeah. I have this problem. I actually have some screenshots.

I logged on after the update, and this is what I saw. My pants lack texture now, as well as my shirt. It's all white, and the logo I had on it is missing.

The skin my avatar was using is also having issues. The white fur it used to have is missing.

EDIT: I found the problem. Seems to be the Avatar Vertex Program. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with my video drivers, or a problem with the avatar and clothing itself.

After you update to the newest drivers for your graphics card, can you please reply if it still happens with Avatar Vertex Program on?
