Rusalka Writer Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Did some building in Sandbox 28, went back a couple of hours later, and the last half-hour of work is gone. Mesh and prim. I won't be paying for any mesh on the maingrid until this sort of thing stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try contacting Oskar Linden...see if he has any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Neutra Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 To be fair to the Lindens, it is a sandbox region. You shouldn't expect to be able to leave things sitting there for hours on end without them being returned. Check your Lost & Found folder.

Gearsawe Stonecutter Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 More than likely the sand box crashed. Then reloaded from a previous state. Quite common in these part of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chodai Yoshikawa Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I experienced a similar thing on MSB#20. I had just added some large linksets and moved a few things when I got the 5 miniutes to shutdown message. I logged and came back an hour later to find it was in the state I left if before adding and moving. Perhaps the Sim only backs itself up on certain intervals and not just before a restart?

Drongle McMahon Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 If they are deliberate restarts, that sounds like a problem to me. When I was chasing a disappearing mesh bug, I did a lot of restarts just after putting new stuff out, and it was still there (unless it was one of the meshes that reugularly disppeared). So it seemed then that th restart process included saving all the region contents. If that is not happening now with ordinary reatarts, it may be a bug. On the other hand, it's possible the restarts are required because of problem content, or to recreate a particular state. In that case it would be a roll-back rather than a restart. Then the newer stuff would be expected to disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalates Urriah Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I've seen some other people complain of lost changes on the main grid. So, it is not just a Mesh region problem. Some weeks back the Lindens were improving the region restart process and crash recovery systems, concierge services. Prior to that some crashes apparently hung and required an Estate owner or support call to restart the region. So, some crashes, apparently many, were obvious. With the recent changes a crash goes into automatic recovery and may appear as a planned restart. In such cases there is no flush of object changes registered in the region server to the database. But, that should not be the case when a restart warning is issued. I suppose a region is being restarted because it is having problems. So, the update could be taking longer than planned and the changes just aren't making it to the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Susanto Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 My guess: Your mesh crashed the sandbox. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusalka Writer Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 No, I've been crashing mesh sandboxes for over a year. I know what that looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
