Arduenn Schwartzman Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I never really took a good look at the SL map during rolling restarts before. But I did now, after noticing the regions on my estate had been offline (and showing red on the map) for over an hour. Disclaimer: au dessus nést pas mon 'estat'. It does look pretty ominous. Is this something to worry about? Or is business as usual on a rolling restart Tuesday? Or is it a keep calm and carry on type of new normal?

Jules Catlyn Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Not just homesteads. Our full private region has been down for over an hour as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTalionis23 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Also noticed this. I've never seen it take anywhere near this long, nor take this much of the grid down at once. Definitely doesn't seem like a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmoe Whitfield Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) there was a change server side. with new configurations on the hosts and sims themselves. those take a bit to start back up with a change like this. if they are still down in a couple of hours. file a support ticket.

Arduenn Schwartzman Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Some regions only took a few minutes to restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I'm trying to log in for more than an hour now, so the sim where my plot is, doesn't come back smoothly either. Now if it was a Wednesday I would chalk it up as nostalgia, but now... more like annoying. I need some coffee.

Nalates Urriah Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It isn't normal. Regions show red on the map when the system is not able to connect to the regions. Using Firestorm regions will also appear red on the mini-map/radar. Which is a big help for those of us flying or sailing. On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings this isn't something to panic about. As pointed out, if your region is down for more than an hour, it is time to say something. In worst case scenarios the Lab will have messed up the update roll out. It doesn't take the operating team long to realize they have a problem. They have systems that monitor the grid. So, regions down is a signal on their system. Once they identify the problem as specific to the update, they start a rollback to the previous version. This all takes some time. But usually by 10AM they have the grid back up. Check Grid Status to see if they have noticed the problem. This morning as of 8:12 AM SLT they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Finally after over an hour. Update - We are aware rolling restarts are taking longer than normal, and we are working to bring these regions back online as quickly as possible. We thank you for your patience!

I'm just pointing out that it may not be LL's fault this time. Like it wasn't LL's fault not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Corvinus Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It's totally normal for LL to screw up rolling restarts. They need maintenance for the maintenance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaithLynnSayes Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Every time i read "we apologize" on the grid status page, i'm going to take a shot. Future addict greets you. Can't log in, just came home from work and my viewer is stuck at "requesting region capabilities" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Last time I tried I was kicked in some fountain on another sim. They should have rolled back the whole thing by now if it was some code trouble in the new version. My guess AWS is involved somehow too with their 'service' or the lack of it.

You know when Netflix suggests something else to watch when the credits starts rolling, right? Well one time the credits started rolling and it suggested me The Witcher showing a monster looking straight "at me".

Sid Nagy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) If you love magical stories, with elves, dragons, witchers, monsters and other world stuff. This series is a must.
