Oh those Kitty Bunz haz lotsa goodies, but they like to hide stuffs. 🐭

Again, it isn't about the Firestorm Viewer. The dedicated Team members who volunteer at the Gateway offer assistance to any new resident (even older residents) whether they are using Firestorm or the official Second Life Viewer. And they do so much more than that! I am continually amazed and astonished at the level of dedication and creativity from this part of the team, and I'm sure they probably don't get the credit and thanks they deserve. *tips my hat to the Gateway Peeps*

I don't know about upset. Enthusiastic perhaps. There are any numbers of things that someone can object to having forced on them. Perhaps ask yourself in the grand scheme of things, is it going to ruin your Second Life? Are you going to be miserable every day and feel like rage quitting? Is it going to change all those plans you've made with your new account. I would like to think there's enough chill for all sides.

Given it's a Land Scope Experience, perhaps request that you be banned from the Firestorm Gateway. Risk averted!

No, it's not a dispute about your rights or mine, or being anti- or pro-Firestorm, or even your morals for heaven's sake! You seemed to understand better how Whirly phrased it, so I'll leave it at that, lest I should be accused of murdering your pets.

I don't follow the forums too closely, but I have noticed a certain style with some of your comments. You tend to sit on the fence a lot and use double-talk. This seems to have served you well, but responses like the above derailed comments can be frustrating to those trying to maintain a functioning viewer for as many as possible. On the one hand, you casually mention not updating because of "various physics upload issues which some folks are repeatedly having and I wanted to avoid" which have yet to be substantiated or reported. Then in another breath, well the issue is not fixed (I wonder why) but they're not making houses now so even though these people apparently know all there is to know about physics, it's a non-issue at the moment, so to heck with any of the other Firestorm users, or team members willing to address the issue. But rest assured, if and when you get around to updating whenever, and why would you given these apparent issues, you'll report it for sure! I get that people don't follow the Jira, and I'm not suggesting everyone should. Nor am I suggesting you should run out and become a bug hunter. But this fence-sitting, ambivalent info isn't helpful either in my view either to those reading along. Some readers might actually take heed in what you've written on this thread for example, and that to me, would be a shame.

This can be tracked on MAINT-8427 which now redirects to SL-1804. (essentially useless info now) I'm sorry. This is the baddie that created this issue, which also turned out to be most unpopular with Firestorm users. I was hoping to reference a report on LL's bug tracker regarding this, but I've failed in this task. *hangs head in shame*

The RC regions I get notifications for both got different memos. Is it double whammy day?

Which point is that? That you are more likely than not to start a thread of this type following a holiday weekend? No one said that. You paraphrased. Wow. Why even go there with your big fat paint brush? It's a US-based company employing mostly US employees after all. Don't assume each one is insular. You might have the rest of us thinking someone does something nasty with your gruel every day. 😉 So you're saying another restart fixed it. There you go. Not uncommon that some regions don't come back healthy and need another restart. As far as I know, all they ask is that you wait until rolls are completed before requesting another (which they were when you started this thread).

Oh dear. Let down again. No deploys thread. I admit I do look forward to those. I do wonder though if your subscription to updates of the grid status page is on the fritz though https://status.secondlifegrid.net/ as I did receive notification on the 3rd for the Main Channel https://status.secondlifegrid.net/incidents/cjstfjjsgx0d I also noted during restarts complaints of attachments issues for a while, but they didn't seem to linger for too long. Perhaps now that restarts have been completed, you can request another restart and see if that helps with the spikes your region is currently suffering? Can't hurt.

Usually there are error messages to help identify problems. Write them down if there are any. In the meantime, in could be overheating. PC may simply be dirty on the inside and need a good cleaning. Drop your overall graphics settings from high to mid. Preferences - Graphics - General - slider at the top. Also reduce your Draw Distance to 64m

My experience was similar but time involved a little different. First came the Sim Version and Host change. Subsequent restarts were Sim Host change only.

The LSLPEFC was last week. I'm not in a position to comment other than to pass along one attendee reported the "fireworks show was once again spectacular". Yesterday, I was told that Simon is on vacation. Hence why he wasn't available for this week's UG.
