MBeatrix Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) I remember when we were promised that there would be no more cloud avatars. So why am I seeing lots today? And why is my skin grey? [EDIT] There seems to be a problem with textures. CDN not delivering? (yes, I also remember when it was said that CDN would make it all better for everyone) Edited November 12, 2018 by MBeatrix additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Carbenell Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 At this time we are undergoing unscheduled maintenance that may cause some avatars to appear as a cloud for an extended period of time. We expect this issue to clear up gradually over the next hour or two, and inventory is not affected by this maintenance. Please note that at this time relogging will not resolve an avatar appearing as a cloud and mass relogging may extend the timeline for resolution. We thank you for your patience apologize for the inconvenience. Please follow this blog for more updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBeatrix Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Ah, thanks, Mandy. I overlooked that one on the dashboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes, I also remember when it was said that CDN would make it all better for everyone) We must remember that LL are committed (sic) to improving the "shared experience". At one time client-side baking of the avatar meant that occasionally folk with either a poor internet connection to SL or a slow computer would see themselves "clouded" though others might see them correctly. This was unfair! Now we can all share in the communal clouding! Yay! All Server Side Baking and the distributed CDN did was to shift the rendering load from one part of the system to another. Like all chains, links can break, whichever they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps on Opposite Day, but on any other day ever it meant the exact opposite - the bake had to be uploaded by that poor internet connection, meaning that the avatar might look correct to that person but the information didn't arrive for anyone else.

Aishagain Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Fair enough, Theresa I never DID properly understand the ins and outs of baking in SL. But my post was only half serious, so no harm done! Edited November 12, 2018 by Aishagain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
