I keep getting the Login Failed Despite our Best Efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong

[Darkington Slade]

It won't log me in on the 2.8.0 Viewer, I've reset the modem, router, turned off the computer restarted it, cleared the cache...nothing is letting me online.  Even when I try the Earlier Viewer 1.23.5 I can log on..but then my avi is on a permanent AFK mode where I can walk around but my head is always down.

Can you help me?

The bug list in 2.8.0 seems to go on forever. If you want a Viewer 2 look, then you might try FIRESTORM or Kirstens. They will be different than V2 (better most folks think) but you might be able to get in with them. Since you CAN get in with the old viewer, it appears to be a viewer issue. You could of course wait for the fixes to 2.8.0 OR go back to an early Linden Lab viewer version.

 

It looks like there has been an update to the .0 version of the viewer, so you might also try that

Links there to the third party viewer page also.

 

Good luck.
