Black Dragon is MY Viewer, i decide which feature i want to add and which to remove, i share this Viewer to show the world that user base size is not important, i do rate quality by effort, thought and love put into the project, not some rough estimated numbers. I consider feature requests only if i you can name proper valid reasons i can agree on. It is my (unpaid) time i'm putting into this project, i'm not here to cater to every Joe's desires.

Black Dragon Viewer 64x - Update 5.0.2 Beta "Probing Dragon"

Merry Christmas Everyone!

This one's a really small update, i got sick (Covid) over the course of this month which almost threw a wrench into this update. Nevertheless here's an update to adress some critical issues.


Most importantly textures for some people shouldn't stay gray anymore because they for some reason disabled HTTP Textures (probably accidentally through the menu), but also the HDR options in the sky editor are now there and the texture scale spinners in the tools window will no longer reset and break. Shadow resolutions should now also work fine again (wohoo).

(Possibly no update video) *sad face*

  2. Yes, get well soon! Q: I removed the prior version and emptied C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Black Dragon\cache and texturecache. 5.0.2 simply exots after presenting "Initializing Texture Cache". Suggestions? and also, amazing product vids Niran!

  3. Get well soon and thank you for the viewer!

    Having same problem as David, clean install, no errors in log and program simply closes after ”Initializing texture cache”. Previous version worked fine.

  6. Niran, I was able to get up and running by clearing all of C:\Program FIles\Black Dragon and C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Black Dragon. Here are the final lines of the log from the last crash; same last lines for all prior 5.x attempts:

  7. I am having the same issue David was having. Clean Uninstall and then Clean Install and program closes after ”Initializing texture cache”. Please someone let me know how to fix this. I use Black Dragon for business purposes in SL (videos) and haven't been able to move forward at all. Are we able to get the old versions?
