Is Windlight crashing a lot on you ?

I've installed and reinstalled, cleaned the registry, cleaned off the hard drive, cleared cache. I will login and it will crash when I start manuevering my avatar. I'm using the latest beta Nvidia driver for my 7900GTX cards under Vista.

Anyone else ?

I haven't crashed yet with Windlight (knock on wood) but I was crashing a lot in the regular viewer.

I just crashed again while flying. I"m going back to the stable Nvidia driver and see if that helps.

I have exactly the same problem as the OP, only I'm using an ATI RadeonXpress200 vcard.

I'd try swapping the beta drivers for the latest released version.

I don't even get a chance to move around, Windlight crashes before I get to the log in screen.

At first my graphics card seemed to handle it very well. The Linden water and sky looked great on certain environmental settings. Then, my graphics card starting giving me errors, such as bizarre pixelation centering from one point and flashing all over the screen when I moved. I had to relog to make it stop doing that; using the camera controls was especially hard on it. I ended up uninstalling it. I have a Radeon 9700 Pro with the latest drivers; I might buy myself a new GeForce for X-mas.

yes, I have been crashing alot since the new viewer. Wasn't before.

What is very strange is that last night, I did everything with absolutely no problems. I had all graphics settings maxed out and did everything as usual. I did not crash once.

Two hours ago, I started crashing. I just did a virus scan, and it's clean. I had to go back to the stable Nvidia drivers and the stable viewer. Too strange.

I only used the new viewer for about 3 hours last night (I plan on doing builds in the old until windlight is totally done and such), but worked fine for me.. and beautiful ^^

The only "crashing" effect WindLight has on me is the crashing of my L$ balance. I don't think I've taken so many snapshots in all my time in SL. Out of curiosity, I'd like to see this month's economic statistics with break-out numbers for snapshots.

But seriously, I've spent about 8 hours total with the new client and have yet to crash. In fact, I haven't had any of those freezes either (you know, when you pan the camera around and freeze). With the most recent RC, I'd get disconnected after freeze-ups fairly often (once per day). Aside from disconnects, I can't remember the last time I had a hard crash with SL... probably last Spring/early Summer.

I'm using the BFG Nvidia 7950 GT/OC card with an Intel 6750 CPU.

I only crash when changing between full screen and window modes, and even then it's hit or miss. Crashes on minimizing from full screen too. Only issue I have is when I turn on AA and AF, the GPU temperature goes up above 90C and I get object tearing.

I keep it on Ultra with custom to lengthen the draw distance.

So far all has been good for me. The only thing I have noticed is that by inventory has been slower to laod.

I crashed in the flying off into space mode last night.

I've also seen (and reported) flashing in clouds and dark areas of buildings when seen from underwater looking up through the surface.

NVidea 6800 with current released drivers.

Crashing less than once an hour?

Lowest settings except high particles, no shaders, av imposters are on, custom with draw distance set to 48.

It's nearly half the FPS of the Nick viewer except in a full sim, where I get double FPS... Since I don't need speed then (twice the speed is still painfully slow), it's an unfortunate step backwards I guess? C'est la vie duexieme?

7600GT running on Vista, and I haven't crashed yet with Windlight ... compared to about every 3rd teleport on the current non-Windlight version.

Broccoli

The windlight viewer wont run for me at all. crashing on startup. Running a Mac G5 with system 10.4.10 and 3GB ram with ATI Radeon X800XT card and latest driver.

Exactly the same here, only crashes on resolution/window change.
Full screen causes artifacts + full GFX card crash sometimes, which is prob related to the way pre 3xxx generation Radeon cards handle clockspeed of the gfx card. (Only fullscreen apps go to full clockspeed).
Running on overclocked ATI 1950XTX with full adapative AA through catalyst control panel & AF through SL app. settings. Catalyst AI disabled. (Catalyst AI + SL = problems)
All SL gfx settings maxxed. Draw distance 256-512, depending on location.
Drivers: Catalyst 6.10 (will try 7.1), both standard and omega versions.

Will try my ATI HD2900XT again to see if things improved with windlight. (2xxx gen + SL gave big issues, SL doesn't like unified shader architecture) and the mobility FireGL in my laptop.

I cured my problem by 1) using the stable Nvidia drivers; 2) deleting all the SL folders on my hard drive which held config data and 3) reinstalling Windlight. Now it runs normally again. WOOT.

Windlight runs fine for me, and crashes about as often as the regular viewer, which isn't often. The only thing I have noticed is quite a bit of lag in IM chat.

I cant even get on it crashes as soon as I'm logged in. Too bad was looking forward to checking it out. I have a ATI Radeon 9800 pro and no problems before . I wonder if I will be able to play when they change over to the Windlight.

I still have yet to log onto this, I did everything i could and I cant even get past the login screen without it crashing.

I really hope LL does not try to force this an an actual upgrade for all of us because man I will be sad and somewhat miffed.

I crash every few seconds with windlight
