== Multi-bug fix ==
Despite much in-world laughter and sometimes derision, a thorough clear cache with character test can clear a multitude of SL issues, including appearing as clouds, semi-rezzed, "ruthed", clothing issues (where people see you wearing different clothes to what you see on your screen), SL Voice issues/faults, etc. It's worth trying these instructions first for any and all SL bugs and problems - many people find it solves their issue. I have had consistent good feedback about the efficacy of this method of solving problems, and I would be interested to hear about good or bad results from anyone who tries this.

There are two versions - one for the old Viewer 1 and other viewers based on this, eg, Phoenix, Emergence, Snowglobe, and one for the newer Viewer 2/3 and correspondingly other viewers based on Viewer 2/3 (eg, Firestorm).

'''*PLEASE NOTE''': For best results, '''it is important to follow all the steps methodically''' and in the order in which they appear!

'''Character Test and Clear Cache Instructions (Viewer 1)'''

1. Go to a low lag sim, for example "Welsh", at the landmark below. This is IMPORTANT to allow you to rez easily and for these instructions to work properly.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Welsh/247/131/23

2. (If you can't go into appearance (your avatar is a cloud), skip this step.) If you *can* go into appearance (your avatar is not a cloud), first make a default outfit from your current avatar and clothes. Go into appearance and click Make Outfit. Give your outfit a name (like Default Outfit), check all the boxes and Save. Come out of appearance.

3. Remove all your objects and clothes.

4. Bring up the Advanced Menu at the top of the screen by typing ctrl+alt+d to toggle it.

5. Click Advanced - Character - Character Tests - Test Male or Female. Your avatar will return to the original simple version. If this doesn't work, search your inventory for "Female Shape & Outfit" or "Male Shape & Outfit". Right click on the folder and choose "Replace Outfit".

6. Reduce your graphics to help with reloading when you log back in. Go to Edit - Preferences - Graphics and move the Quality and Performance slider to Low.

7. Clear your cache by clicking Edit - Preferences - Network - Clear cache.

8. Relog. It may take a few minutes to log back in while the client clears your cache.

9. When you log back in, go straight into Appearance and sit there for a few minutes while everything in your inventory and on the sim loads properly. Open your inventory window and type a single random letter, such as A, in the search bar at the top and hit return to encourage it to load quickly. If it slows down or stops loading, type a different letter until it is completely loaded. Be patient! :)

10. Type "Default" into your inventory search bar (or whatever you called your saved outfit). Right click on the folder and choose "Replace outfit". Or find your skin and shape, etc in your inventory and wear it again.

Tourmaline Falken:

== SL Voice fix for those using Windows OS ==

{{Help|BugFixes=*}}

How to get SL Voice working when you have no voice dot, and relogging doesn't help.

1. Go to a low lag sim - for example, Welsh at this LM:

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Welsh/128/128/2

2. EITHER (a) fly up really high, to above 250 m if you can, OR (b) alternatively, you can try focusing your camera deep into the ground where there is nothing on your screen but blurry floor. This will help with getting Voice going again.

3. Set graphics to low and draw distance as low as it will go.

4. (Skip this step if focusing on the floor.) Go into Edit Appearance or Outfit, zoom in on your avatar and sit there.

5. Next, go to Windows Task manager and End the SL Voice.exe program on the processes tab.

6. Come back inworld and disable Voice in preferences, then re-enable it.

7. Cross fingers and wait! It helps to bring up the Statistics bar to wait for fps and ping sim to settle down.

If you are patient, Voice should come back at this point. If not, try this wiki link procedure:

== Multi-bug fix ==
Despite much in-world laughter and sometimes derision, a thorough clear cache with character test can clear a multitude of SL issues, including appearing as clouds, semi-rezzed, "ruthed", clothing issues (where people see you wearing different clothes to what you see on your screen), SL Voice issues/faults, etc. It's worth trying these instructions first for any and all SL bugs and problems - many people find it solves their issue. I have had consistent good feedback about the efficacy of this method of solving problems, and I would be interested to hear about good or bad results from anyone who tries this.

There are two versions - one for the old Viewer 1 and other viewers based on this, eg, Phoenix, Emergence, Snowglobe, and one for the new Viewer 2 and correspondingly other viewers based on Viewer 2.

'''*PLEASE NOTE''': For best results, '''it is important to follow all the steps methodically''' and in the order in which they appear!

'''Character Test and Clear Cache Instructions (Viewer 1)'''

1. Go to a low lag sim, for example "Welsh", at the landmark below. This is IMPORTANT to allow you to rez easily and for these instructions to work properly.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Welsh/247/131/23

2. (If you can't go into appearance (your avatar is a cloud), skip this step.) If you *can* go into appearance (your avatar is not a cloud), first make a default outfit from your current avatar and clothes. Go into appearance and click Make Outfit. Give your outfit a name (like Default Outfit), check all the boxes and Save. Come out of appearance.

3. Remove all your objects and clothes.

4. Bring up the Advanced Menu at the top of the screen by typing ctrl+alt+d to toggle it.

5. Click Advanced - Character - Character Tests - Test Male or Female. Your avatar will return to the original simple version. If this doesn't work, search your inventory for "Female Shape & Outfit" or "Male Shape & Outfit". Right click on the folder and choose "Replace Outfit".

6. Reduce your graphics to help with reloading when you log back in. Go to Edit - Preferences - Graphics and move the Quality and Performance slider to Low.

7. Clear your cache by clicking Edit - Preferences - Network - Clear cache.

8. Relog. It may take a few minutes to log back in while the client clears your cache.

9. When you log back in, go straight into Appearance and sit there for a few minutes while everything in your inventory and on the sim loads properly. Open your inventory window and type a single random letter, such as A, in the search bar at the top and hit return to encourage it to load quickly. If it slows down or stops loading, type a different letter until it is completely loaded. Be patient! :)

10. Type "Default" into your inventory search bar (or whatever you called your saved outfit). Right click on the folder and choose "Replace outfit". Or find your skin and shape, etc in your inventory and wear it again.

{{Help|BugFixes=*}}

How to get SL Voice working when you have no voice dot, and relogging doesn't help.

1. Go to a low lag sim - for example, Welsh at this LM:

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Welsh/128/128/2

2. Fly up really high, to above 250 m if you can.

3. Set graphics to low and draw distance as low as it will go.

4. Go into appearance, zoom in on your avatar and sit there.

5. Next, go to Windows Task manager and End the SL Voice.exe program on the processes tab.

6. Come back inworld and disable Voice in preferences, then re-enable it.

7. Cross fingers and wait! It helps to bring up the Statistics bar to wait for fps and ping sim to settle down.

If you are patient, Voice should come back at this point. If not, try this wiki link procedure:

Tourmaline Falken: /* Multi-bug fix */

== Multi-bug fix ==
Despite much in-world laughter and sometimes derision, a thorough clear cache with character test can clear a multitude of SL issues, including appearing as clouds, semi-rezzed, "ruthed", clothing issues (where people see you wearing different clothes to what you see on your screen), SL Voice issues/faults, etc. It's worth trying these instructions first for any and all SL bugs and problems - many people find it solves their issue. I have had consistent good feedback about the efficacy of this method of solving problems, and I would be interested to hear about good or bad results from anyone who tries this.

There are two versions - one for the old Viewer 1 and other viewers based on this, eg, Phoenix, Emergence, Snowglobe, and one for the new Viewer 2 and correspondingly other viewers based on Viewer 2.

'''*PLEASE NOTE''': For best results, '''it is important to follow all the steps methodically''' and in the order in which they appear!

Tourmaline Falken:

Despite much in-world laughter and sometimes derision, a thorough clear cache with character test can clear a multitude of SL issues, including appearing as clouds, semi-rezzed, "ruthed", clothing issues (where people see you wearing different clothes to what you see on your screen), SL Voice issues/faults, etc. It's worth trying these instructions first for any and all SL bugs and problems - many people find it solves their issue. I have had consistent good feedback about the efficacy of this method of solving problems, and I would be interested to hear about good or bad results from anyone who tries this.

There are two versions - one for the old Viewer 1 and other viewers based on this, eg, Phoenix, Emergence, Snowglobe, and one for the new Viewer 2 and correspondingly other viewers based on Viewer 2.

'''*PLEASE NOTE''': For best results, '''it is important to follow all the steps methodically''' and in the order in which they appear!

I have had consistent good feedback about the efficacy of this method of solving problems, and I would be interested to hear about good or bad results from anyone who tries this.

There are two versions - one for the old Viewer 1 and other viewers based on this, eg, Phoenix, Emergence, Snowglobe, and one for the new Viewer 2 and correspondingly other viewers based on Viewer 2.

'''*PLEASE NOTE''': For best results, it is '''important''' to follow all the steps '''methodically''' in the order in which they appear!

'''Character Test and Clear Cache Instructions (Viewer 1)'''

1. Go to a low lag sim, for example "Welsh", at the landmark below. This is IMPORTANT to allow you to rez easily and for these instructions to work properly.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Welsh/247/131/23

2. (If you can't go into appearance (your avatar is a cloud), skip this step.) If you *can* go into appearance (your avatar is not a cloud), first make a default outfit from your current avatar and clothes. Go into appearance and click Make Outfit. Give your outfit a name (like Default Outfit), check all the boxes and Save. Come out of appearance.

3. Remove all your objects and clothes.

4. Bring up the Advanced Menu at the top of the screen by typing ctrl+alt+d to toggle it.

5. Click Advanced - Character - Character Tests - Test Male or Female. Your avatar will return to the original simple version. If this doesn't work, search your inventory for "Female Shape & Outfit" or "Male Shape & Outfit". Right click on the folder and choose "Replace Outfit".

6. Reduce your graphics to help with reloading when you log back in. Go to Edit - Preferences - Graphics and move the Quality and Performance slider to Low.

7. Clear your cache by clicking Edit - Preferences - Network - Clear cache.

8. Relog. It may take a few minutes to log back in while the client clears your cache.

9. When you log back in, go straight into Appearance and sit there for a few minutes while everything in your inventory and on the sim loads properly.

10. Type "Default" into your inventory search bar (or whatever you called your saved outfit). Right click on the folder and choose "Replace outfit". Or find your skin and shape, etc in your inventory and wear it again.

Tourmaline Falken:

Despite much in-world laughter and sometimes derision, a thorough clear cache with character test can clear a multitude of SL issues, including appearing as clouds, semi-rezzed, "ruthed", clothing issues (where people see you wearing different clothes to what you see on your screen), SL Voice issues/faults, etc. It's worth trying these instructions first for any and all SL bugs and problems - many people find it solves their issue.

There are two versions - one for the old Viewer 1 and other viewers based on this, eg, Phoenix, Emergence, Snowglobe, and one for the new Viewer 2 and correspondingly other viewers based on that.

NB: For best results, it is important to follow all the steps in the order they appear.

Character Test and Clear Cache Instructions (Viewer 1)

1. Go to a low lag sim, for example "Welsh", at the landmark below. This is IMPORTANT to allow you to rez easily and for these instructions to work properly.

2. (If you can't go into appearance (your avatar is a cloud), skip this step.) If you *can* go into appearance (your avatar is not a cloud), first make a default outfit from your current avatar and clothes. Go into appearance and click Make Outfit. Give your outfit a name (like Default Outfit), check all the boxes and Save. Come out of appearance.

3. Remove all your objects and clothes.

4. Bring up the Advanced Menu at the top of the screen by typing ctrl+alt+d to toggle it.

5. Click Advanced - Character - Character Tests - Test Male or Female. Your avatar will return to the original simple version. If this doesn't work, search your inventory for "Female Shape & Outfit" or "Male Shape & Outfit". Right click on the folder and choose "Replace Outfit".

6. Reduce your graphics to help with reloading when you log back in. Go to Edit - Preferences - Graphics and move the Quality and Performance slider to Low.

7. Clear your cache by clicking Edit - Preferences - Network - Clear cache.

8. Relog. It may take a few minutes to log back in while the client clears your cache.

9. When you log back in, go straight into Appearance and sit there for a few minutes while everything in your inventory and on the sim loads properly.

10. Type "Default" into your inventory search bar (or whatever you called your saved outfit). Right click on the folder and choose "Replace outfit". Or find your skin and shape, etc in your inventory and wear it again.
