There are a number of possible causes, and a number of solutions or at least work-arounds:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">If you have Webroot SecureAnywhere antivirus installed, refer to <a class=\"wikilink1\" title=\"webroot\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.firestormviewer.org\/webroot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this page<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">Power down your router and\/or modem. This generally means unplugging it from the power source. Leave them disconnected for at least a full minute before reconnecting. Wait for them to complete the power up sequence, then reboot your computer.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">Teleport out, then back in.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">The region is badly lagged (many avatars present, too many scripts running, etc.) and so the region server is using all its time processing and has very little time left over to deliver textures and other data to you. The best way to cope with this is to reduce the demand you make; in other words, reduce your draw distance, even to 12m or less, and wait until textures and objects have loaded before you increase it again.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">You are experiencing packet loss or, more generally, have a poor network connection. Or your bandwidth slider may be set too high. Bring up the stats bar with Ctrl-Shift-1 and check Packet Loss and Ping <abbr title=\"\" data-original-title=\"Simulator running region software, often mistakenly used to refer to a region.\">Sim<\/abbr>. Ideally, packet loss should be 0.0%, and Ping <abbr title=\"\" data-original-title=\"Simulator running region software, often mistakenly used to refer to a region.\">Sim<\/abbr> under 200ms.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">Determine optimal bandwidth: refer <a class=\"wikilink1\" title=\"fs_speedtest\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.firestormviewer.org\/fs_speedtest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">You can also try to have less textures draw all at once by reducing draw distance when you teleport. You can do this manually, or make use of the built in <a class=\"wikilink1\" title=\"fs_progressive_draw_distance\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.firestormviewer.org\/fs_progressive_draw_distance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Progressive Draw Distance<\/a> function.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-5701 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.zoha-islands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/progressive-dd-204x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoha-islands.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/progressive-dd-204x300.png 204w, https:\/\/zoha-islands.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/progressive-dd.png 366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">HTTP fetching may be overloading your router; please try the suggestions given <a class=\"wikilink1\" title=\"http_fetching_issues\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.firestormviewer.org\/http_fetching_issues\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>; if they do not help, revert the changes made then return to this page and continue.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">Another possibility is that <abbr title=\"\" data-original-title=\"Domain Name System\">DNS<\/abbr> look-up is failing.

Try disabling them temporarily, to see if things improve. If they do, you have isolated the problem. <a class=\"wikilink1\" title=\"antivirus_whitelisting\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.firestormviewer.org\/antivirus_whitelisting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Whitelisting<\/a> the viewer and cache folder would probably help.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">It has been reported that on Windows, the Aero background theme will also lead to textures refusing to rez, due to how much memory this feature consumes. Uninstalling that should help.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">If textures remain blurry or grey, make sure that Preferences \u2192 Graphics \u2192 Hardware Settings \u2192 Enable Lossy Texture Compression is off.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fix-media-list-overlap\">\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">If mesh items, specifically, never rez, see <a class=\"wikilink1\" title=\"mesh_issues\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.firestormviewer.org\/mesh_issues\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mesh Issues<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"level1\">\n<div class=\"li\">Several creators recommend specific settings in order for you to be able to better see their products.
