[Everything is tinted blue]

I received a new laptop today and I am having the same problem! I updated my graphics driver before downloading Firestorm. I have turned graphics to low and turned off Advanced Lighting and it's still happening. It's not just my view in SL, but it's the buttons on firestorm/the log in screen too. Does anyone have any advice?

Edit: I have downloaded Singularity viewer and it seems to be fine.

I still see some regions on the map that are empty of folks so likely more to be released tomorrow or after that?  And it certainly does seem  -- looking at the empty (maybe unreleased - I didn't go check to see if they belonged to anyone) that the alphabetical is no longer in effect. Likely this is to waylay some of the folks that are ready to pounce on certain sims. Seems like a good idea to me -- the randomness. More fair.

Good luck to everyone!  

Patch put out a statement:

In my venture to see how many abandon/claims we actually do get, I got Victorian homes in Pelham Station, Thomsbury, Periana and Demitasse. I liked Periana the best. I believe Thomsbury was a coastal sim, but I was across the street from the coast. 

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

I decided to take one for the team:

I started with my alt's LH: Abandon #1

Then claimed, abandoned, claimed, abandoned, claimed, abandoned, claimed, abandoned, claimed, abandoned, MAXED.

I abandoned SIX times in succession. I CLAIMED 5. Between 4:35-4:45 PM SLT.

i was thinking I read somewhere that there's a certain process regions go thru before release ... I'm hoping to roll for a coastline spot

At this point there is no way to tell if you will get a new release or an abandon from someone else. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

I know that area well, my original camper (for a few months) was at Lake Tataka right next to this. You have a KEEPER. 

oooohhhhh I’m excited! Thanks!!

I’m still playing Game of Homes (with campers, as beautiful as the Vic’s are, I think I’m a tiny home person) and was wondering if anyone was in world to snap a photo of the new parcel I just snagged? My alt has prime real estate but I have to make a decision on which premium account to cancel soon.

I really thought I’d earn back at least two tries last night but it didn’t reset for me. 

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

I also don’t think they released every Victorian they intended to yesterday because of some technical glitches. One house style wasn’t working at all at some point yesterday and some were having issues with doors/windows/permissions. 

Even later in the evening, people were getting Victorian’s on sims that still didn’t seem ready as they all had hovertext and borders around them. They eventually cleared up but I think there was a delay or two.

Are there any more houseboat regions yet to be released? I'm refreshing as much as I'm able to, but seeing only Trads, Campers and Vics. The Vics are too big for me and the campers are too small... if there are no more houseboats to come, I will give up waiting and just go for a Trad again.

From Patch, yesterday: 

Nearly 1600 Victorian homes will launch this week, the majority of them happening today (Monday, 16 December, 2019).  Plus another 500 coming before the end of the year!

In addition to that, over 1,600 Traditional Homes, Houseboats and Campers will be released later this week!

Are Vics still showing up regularly on the Land page now?

Yes, they are still readily available and people are getting them immediately.

OK, with my main avi - first one: controller set far away from house, still deeded to Lindens and did not work. Second one...ok but very land-locked (not surprising with the Victorians). Decided to try one more time...just a block away from the islands, will keep this one even though houses to the right are still being bug-tested and have the red text that shows through on my house...but I figure that will go away very soon.

 

You can derender the hovertext, it’s in a prim that boarders the plot.

As far as I remember we were able to abandon plots 5 times before we end up being locked out. It happend to me after I gave up the 4th.... 
Well.. ***** happens. No Viccy for me then. 

Maybe you abandoned one overnight? You could have been home hopping in your sleep. 🤣

If you're having trouble with your home (doors, windows, colors, etc):

 

[12:09 PM]  Squeaky Mole: Please stand back away from the home, touch the controller and re-rez the home. Let it load for at least 30-60 seconds before touching it in any way.

I just received a new Victorian one. How do I select a different style of home?

Touch the mailbox.

[12:07 PM]  Patch Linden: Folks, I'm gonna forewarn, this is probably not the time for Game of Homes, they are being snapped up as fast as we let them out the door.  If you use up your retries, you'll sadly be without I fear.

[11:37 AM]  Patch Linden: Another tip:  while they are rolling out and things are ramping up, if you are trying to switch houses and such, give your house a solid 30-45 second to fully rez and run it's scripts before even touching it, both physically and/or clicking on anything on or in it

I am not vying for a Victorian myself, but wow, well done. Thanks to all that posted pictures.

I really wish they’d done this years ago instead of the ugly ones they rolled out. It’s clear that this has stirred up a sense of community and I’ve met more new people (because of this) in the last month than I have in 11 years on SL. I think they could have “saved” a bunch of the population that is now MIA. I know everything ebbs and flows (no pun intended) but food for thought.
