Can't log in on Mesh Viewer: "Unable to connect to a simulator"

[Icarus Lytton]

Like the title says, this is driving me insane. My alt can log in just fine but all my stuff, all my textures, all my scripts, etc. are on my main avi and I want to use him to build on Aditi, not my alt who was only used for screenshots.

I create a support ticket (because the FAQ page was completely useless) only to be basically told by Linden Labs to F off but it seems that the problem is at their end: a few months back I could log in just fine. I also checked and have no groups with odd characters (which seems to be the main cause of this error). I'm at a loss now what more I can do - does anyone have any idea?

(PS I posted it here because the good folks at LL failed to provide a forum for the beta grid - or I didn't manage to find it at least)

did you try to select a different location (sandbox) to log in?

that worked for me, I had the same issue with alt logging in fine, while my main ava wasn't able to

I tried that before - I tried several Mesh Sandboxes as location because that's where my alt was logging in fine, and I got the same error. I'm not sure what else I can do.

Hi, try Morris as your start location on Aditi. This is Oskar's hangout so it is almost always up and running, and it does not have any spaces or punctuation that could get mixed up in the login process.

I think the groups with strange names problem is fixed, but you can try to turn off chat and IM logging until things work, that is where the worst bugs on that happened.

Ahah that worked! And I found out the reason *facepalms*. Viewer 2 had set my main account to only be allowed in "General" locations. Of course, I couldn't change it until I was LOGGED IN! *facepalms again*
