REBAKING Whooos

ok this is part rant, part cry for help. Ok it's become a daily thing everytime I log into SL within minutes I have people either telling me or IMing me telling me I need to rebake even though I look fine to myself. When I do rebake my avatar will cycle through all the nearsest textures for the next twety minutes which I absolutly hate. Yeah I know it can be annoying to look at the no image all over a person. Sometime I think its better not to even rebake, then to go though the entire process of rebaking myself so I look good for other people, then wait for the entire process which could takes at times 30mins or more. Yeah I don't like staring at no images either, but I don't tell every tom, dick, and harry they need to rebake, I just learn to ingore it and let it go. So I'm asking if there is anything I can do to make it so I don't have to rebake everytime I log in?

I find if I log out in a relatively lag free area that when I log back in I have to rebake half as often. I don't know if it works for anyone else but maybe its worth a try.

Good Luck

what exactly causes the issue anyway, is it a server issue, problem with my comp, someone else's comp, or what cuases the differnce from how I see myself and how others see my avatr.

I have taken to just changing clothes everytime I log in or teleport.

Seriously the no image thing is a total pain. I know for some people with more eleborate avatars constantly changing clothes won't work.

Also, if I remember correctly, those guides suggest checking to see that your drivers are up to date. Mine were behind and that started happening to me too. Updating the drivers helped a lot.

I have seen so much more of this in just the last couple weeks. One person will see you just fine, and the next will see nothing but missing textures. I have taken to rebaking fairly often and hoping that the next update solves this problem.

your right one good thing is im ya buddies an instead of asking does this out fit make my butt look big lol ask do you see any thing missing text ? i thought you only rebake if you see it on your self an not others,thats what live help told me while back, if find out its on my skin i put on a nother skin an put back on old one, or go into appearance or reboot an its not your drivers need updated lol this is a brand new puter, an i did do drivers its just a new thing we all have to live with lmao

I have been told by a Linden that Rebake is if u see it on yourself. The Missing images is something totally differant. It is not the Drivers needing to be updated cos I have and it is worse. It is getting worse and I agree u should let others know if u see it. I have found out that if u take off the item with the image problem and put it back on sometimes you are fine other times u r not. So Take a change of Clothes with you and be prepared to change in public *covers eyes* I hope that the powers at be can fix this cause it is getting worse and needs to be address. Lil Johnny (the 12 yr old Tech fixing the bugs <j/k> is going to be working over time. But we all need to help each other out. If u see someone who is the new white goth look let them know. Kindness is contagious and we can get thru this hopefully.

Missing image solved:
