Question Ugly Graphics Problem with 1.19.1 viewer!
When I first joined SL the graphics were great but ever since I installed the 1.19.1 (4) viewer my graphics are all showing up with "banded" colours!
My avatar, the sky, objects, clothing, etc... all have this colour banding problem... urghhh!

I've followed Torley's 'Graphic Preferences Guide' and I've tweaked my graphics settings in lots of different ways but nothing seems to improve the quality of my graphics... still ugly as!
I've put a screenshot of this problem on Snapzilla (my username there is Dora Saphir), but beware.... it is not a pretty sight!

Any ideas what could be causing this colour banding problem? Thanks.

Long shot, but which colour depth is your desktop set to?

Hi there, I've checked the settings and it's set to 'Highest' (32 bit).

The standard question:

Are your graphics drivers up-to-date?

I thought they were but when I double-checked the AMD site I saw that an updated version had been posted on April 16, so I installed this version and its fixed the problem

Thanks for your help... I'll be checking those driver updates religiously from now on!
