Login Annoyance

[Dillon Sapphire]

Hi i was logging in today and it all went fine until it said my current location wasn't available and tp'd me to the closest HUB. I decided to log out and back in to see if the problem still existed and it did the same thing about 3 times in a row. Has anyone else experienced this? I can log in fine and it really isnt affecting me much but im just wondering if it has happened to anyone else. Thanks

It's actually a fairly common occurance.  Also depends on where you are logging in to.  I find that even my Home will give me that error even though its up and running.  It's only when you get stuck in a hub and can't beam elsewhere that it's REALLY annoying.

okay, thank you! is there any real remedy to the problem or do i have to wait it out? Thank you for answering so quickly.

Well, lots of reasons for a sim to fail to respond to a login request.  System is designed to move you to an alternate location if the sim you are requesting to log into does not respond. Better than just not allowing you to log on     You can choose to log into Home, Last Location or any sim if you know the name.  I suppose one way to guarantee a high success rate is to find a reliable sim with very little activity.  I just use my Home most of the time.  Probably only get rejected 1 time out of 500 logins so can't complain

In this order, try:

http://slurl.com/

On login screen take this path. In top left hand corner of screen, click, edit > perferences > in the general tab, click the box that says "show start location on login screen" click apply, click OK. Now you have something new on your login screen. Click the down arrow and choose "home", or "last location" or type "Violet" (Any region you can remember will do, if you remember the regions name spelling exactly) in the "type region name" selection. Try all three if you need to.

Your firwewall should be set to "outbound access only" for the Seond Life program.

Wait, sometimes the servers have problems, only wait a few hours at most.

Reset your modem.

Other possible solutions:

Try another viewer. This one for instance:

Hi Dillon

I've been having the same problem for a day or so now. Has yours been resolved yet?

This has been reported on pJIRA.On logging into Second Life, I recieve an error msg. (Unable to connect to simulator). I am sent to another region due to another msg I recieve (region is not available).

Please add your comments, particularly the name and details (eg. sim3320.agni.lindenlab.com) of the specific Region(s) you are trying to log into, how you connect to the internet (wired/wireless) and the name of your ISP. And vote !

(For Region information see How do I find my system information?)
