BVLA Driver Training Center

 

 

 The folks at the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy are at it again. It seems besides the passports they've been issuing, there appear to be plans in the words for a drivers license. In ta recent group announcement of theirs, they mentioned a driver's safety course.

You may know the BBB have now added the requirement of a Written Test for a BBB drivers license. We'll make Bellisseria safer! Did you know though that there's a small training center run by the Bellisseria Vehicle Licensing Agency? It's open for anyone to practice & you can rez any vehicle at the rez zone just outside the entrance (LM takes you there). The course is really tight like Bellisseria streets, but you can drive out into deepest Gaeta if you like.

More details are in the BBB Gazette. The person who suggested the drivers license was listed as Persephone Emerald. For now the talk of a license is just that, talk. But the course in Junapel, Gaeta is open for anyone wanting to practice. Or you could just use the rez zone next to the place and just drive on.

Nvidia Card Graphics Issues

When it comes to graphics cards, NVIDIA is one of two brands Linden Lab recommends your computer uses. But lately, it seems the latest driver programing is causing glitches and problems.

The Firestorm Wiki states a bug "appeared with Nvidia driver 515 and 516," with some also saying the issue is on driver 512.95, causing lines and/or flashing objects to appear on the screen, "and occurs when Advanced Lighting Model is enabled. ... Symptoms include horizontal lines on the screen, objects repeatedly flashing visible/non-visible, shadow issues on objects & avatars, and a wood-grain effect on some objects or avatars."

The solution, at least until the bug is fixed, is to "roll back the driver or use the Nvidia Studio Drivers instead." Or one can turn off Advanced Lighting.

This is not the only issue. The wiki also reported recent updates on Nvidia, "including driver version 381.65," may stop Firestorm from starting up, "The crash is reported to occur on the “Detecting Hardware' step."

Another issue is with 378.49 Nvidia drivers is there may be a blue tint on 64-bit viewers when Advanced Lighting is turned off.

Team Firestorm filed about the issue with Nvidia (here).

To read more about the issue, check out the page on Firestorm's Wiki, or this article on Modem World.
