Flash! Partial map updates reveal most regions linking Bellisseria and Satori

[arabellajones]

Viewers are starting to show apparently current map tiles, though zooming is erratic and some regions are showing name, but no map-tile data.

A large block of region names is now visible for the last block needed to connect Bellissera to Satori, and proper names such as "Fiddlesticks" rather than placeholders such as "SSPE1110". I am assuming the map tiles are unlikely to show before the basic landscape is set, and the short gaps echo what was done with the Stilt regions

Cool VL Viewer seems OK for zooming

Firestorm is still erratic.

I am wondering if there is some cache-like element in the system, and I use Firestorm often enough that I am still using older data.

The chalet regions (the large block of new Belli regions reaching toward Satori, that includes Fiddlesticks etc.) have always had region names since they joined the grid a little bit ago.  They never had SSPExxxx names.

I don't see actual map tiles (showing anything other than blue) for any of those regions other than the 3 or so that have always shown map tiles for their previous incarnations.  Are you actually seeing geography in any of those regions?  Or for any map tiles anywhere that were previously just blue blanks?  I'm using firestorm, and I'm not seeing any.

They had SSPnnnn names, but were renamed and moved at the same time.    They were always on the map, though, if you knew the numbers and where to look.   While I can't be bothered to look for it, I'd be astonished if they weren't discussed at some point in the SSP thread.
