Woo-hoo! <3

i installed the preview on my pc but all i get after starting it up is a crashlogger right from the start everytime. Reg. SL starts up no problems, any ideas as to why?

So why can I reply here but not post a new topic?

Hot diggity damn!

Sorry--should be fixed now.

Have you sent an email to support? What about filing a bug report? Maybe you should call LL? You could IM X Linden and probably will get passed onto Lindens YZ then get ignored.

Considering the format of the post, it's pretty obvious it was copy-pasted from a bug report form... Talked to Steve Linden and he said they already know about it, too.

I log in and I am only able to stay for a couple of seconds before I crash again I have tried to log in repeatetedly with the same results. I've also tried to lower my graphics settings using preferances but still crashing.

Same here.

I can launch on my desktop machine (custom-built Opteron 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM, NVidia GeForce FX5950, XP SP2), but my laptop (Compaq Presario R3000 w/Athlon 64 3400+ (2.2 GHz), 1 GB RAM, NVidia GeForce4 440 Go 64M, XP SP2) crashes every time I launch the preview. Most of the time it crashes during log-in, though I did manage to get far enough to see my AV appear for two seconds or so before crashing once.

I'd rather of them put it in preview with crashes than not put it up for another week. I do ok, though I did crash a few times while I was in there. I managed to make a flex hat, streamers, a tail, and someone (thanks Elle!) gave me a cape, so I was a flextard for the preview!

3 crashes in a row within seconds of logging in each time - cannot get in to test it.

Could this have anything to do with me wearing a HUD ?

(And how do i remove it BEFORE i log in )

The preview has been suprisingly stable for me, and I have a few hud attachments. At any rate, it doesn't seem all too likley that a hud object would be doing it. Have you tried playing with video settings before attempting to connect? LL messed with quite a few things in regard to rendering... wouldn't be suprised if they broke something in regard to compatability.

Speaking of HUD... am I the only one that can't see hovertext (llSetText) on my hud? My menu looks a little bare because of this... not to mention that it's completley unuseable now.
Also, does anyone know how to force clothing to render? The preview has been rendering me nekked since I first connected, and refuses do display me in any other way. This continues through multiple logins too. The only time I ever see clothing is when I edit my appearence.. It just feels akward flying around pg sims in the nude and all..

It seems to work for me ok, flex is pretty cool, but it's like watching a slideshow... about 0.2 fps if I'm lucky. And that's with far lower settings than I used on the main grid.

Am I supposed to be butt-naked on login?

Okay... I quickly put the clothes I *swear* I was wearing when I logged off yesterday on, and immediately started playing with the new prim features. Hee... floppy! FPS is *amazing* there compared to the main grid, especially considering I'm using my laptop right now, which has el-sucko video card.

HOWEVER:

The random net going out thing (which no one has YET to acknowledge is the fault of SL, despite many, many people having this same problem...) is FREAKING INSANE on this one. There I was, going along at a good clip, when suddenly my kps went NUTS, sliding up and down the bar like there was no tomorrow. Then *poof* I'm logged out... and I was unable to ping out to anywhere for about 5 minutes. This has happened three times so far. I *know* it's not my ISP, because on the main grid, this same thing happens on three *COMPLETELY UNREALTED* ISPs, in two cities (RoadRunner Cable, Verizon DSL, and ... I'm not sure of the ISP at work, but it's neither of those, and in Tampa and Lakeland), and I *know* it's not my video card, because a video card wouldn't not allow me to ping to the net after SL goes nuts.

And that's all. Can't wait 'til this gets released, and hopefully it'll be at all playable with the ever-increasing bits of net going out.

I finally got in using an alt for some reason - with a hud

I have bug reported the text on HUD's - mine appear with a white shadow behind white text now making it all look smudged.

I encourage those of you who posted here about frequent crashes to grab the new version and give it another try.

Thanks to your help, we were able to track down one major crash and get it fixed in this new version!

On first load of SL 1.9.1.10 (can these version #s BE any more ridiculous?), I crashed. 2nd time it was fine though. Haven't been out for a few hours so dunno what the 3rd time will bring...

Hmm... it's working better now, but vertex shaders do some /funky/ stuff to my speed. SL is going to make me upgrade the computer I've owned for 4 years yet.

Also, does anyone else notice that everything gets like, really soft-looking with the shaders turned on? I mean like, everything looks like someone went through and decorated with easter colors... like greys and browns are tinted in soft pinks and mint greens. Or is that the way it was always *supposed* to be?

Hey all. When I logged into the previewer, at first it crashed, but that could just be my computer. I got in and I looked at my Lindens and I have over 5k.. <i>NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING!</i> rofl. But, It was there and My Avie was wearing clothes I haven't put on her in about a week. I also checked out my profile and It was back to about a week ago. Rofl. Very weird. Though, The flexible Prims and stuff are AMAZING!! I have a couple things In mind that I had wanted to make but couldn't because the prims weren't flexible. THANK YOU FOR ADDING THEM!!!!!!!!! <333

~Lil~

Still crashing with 1.9.1.10 - if I'm lucky I get 10s before a crash.

I'm noticing the HUD text shadows and white text too (odd because it's definitely red text in the main grid).

I've sent the crash reports like a good girl, but it's hard to be specific. "I log in, I blink IRL, I crash" isn't that informative, I hope the attached bug report helps more than I can!

Hello,

I am also getting reproducible crashes, every time I try to logon using 1.9.1.10, right after the logon window says "Initializing world...". Is there anything I can do, to get it working?

Regards,
Goligo

Karen I am still crashing 1.9.1.10

Even turning everything down to nothing still crashes me.

For some reason this SL preview crashloga right after i try and start it up, does not even make it to the login screen. this is the second time i have downloaded and installed this preview and no luck. can someone please tell me what might be the problem since no one answered my last post to this same problem.. i am old enough to qualify for testing the preview, my pc runs the curent version of SL just fine, is there something im missing here?
PLEASE HELP????

The current preview version--fresh!--is Preview 1.9.1.11. Please uninstall and then reinstall and see if you still crash?

Woah, what the heck What happened to disable far clip, and also, what happened to 'Drop Draw Distance if FPS <'? Have they been pulled until LL fixes them, or what? I'm not at all happy with loss of 'Avatar Vertex Shader' and 'Drop Draw distance' nor am I enjoying the decreased framerate that the absense of these features are causing.
