Hey everyone, We've gotten some very helpful reports so far; in order to further narrow down the problem's exact cause it would be really helpful if someone who files a future bug report in Jira regarding this issue could include their viewer logs for the session where they got disconnected on teleport.

Next time this occurs @NeevaBecketEmagan could you please file a BUG at https://jira.secondlife.com with the region the DNS failure happened on, the time and date the failure happened, how you found out that the failure happened, and what you were trying to request (minus any sensitive data that may be sent with the request). Thanks!

I was not in the decision making or testing loop for that decision at all, and I haven't asked around of the people who were, so I can't speak with any authority on the subject. What I can tell you about is a friend of mine who started a small subscription business, who observed that after the discount she was giving for annual users she still made more money per month off those users because of the fixed portion of the credit card processing fees she had to pay for monthly subscribers.

Yeah, I just didn't Pin the topic because it doesn't have proper patch note links yet.

Second Life RC BlueSteel: Version 19.05.01.526856 will be deployed to RC BlueSteel between 7-10:30 AM Pacific on 2019-05-15 * Internal Fixes Second Life RC LeTigre: Version 19.05.01.526856 will be deployed to RC LeTigre between 7-10:30 AM Pacific on 2019-05-15 * Internal Fixes Second Life RC Magnum: TBD

Was the last time you encountered the disconnect dialog after the roll a few hours ago @Sharie Criss?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I've updated the Server Deploy Plan for the week to reflect that we're actively working on this issue.

That's what I get for posting release notes while half asleep! This is the same release as last week's roll to BlueSteel and LeTigre, with an added fix to make sure data shows up for newly added estate managers as well as some internal fixes.

RC Cake is a teeny tiny channel (we ought to call it RC Cakepop it's so small) we're currently using to iron out some transient network issues with our newest OS update release before it goes to a full RC. You may see it get a bit larger soon just so we can collect some additional data.

Hello everyone! Apologies for the late deploy plans this week. Today we rolled the latest RC to Second Life Server containing a new round of internal fixes. We're also updating the ongoing EEP Snack RC on Wednesday 2018-11-21 during the RC update window. None of the other RCs are slated for a roll during that time. As always, if any region has reached 14 days of uptime, it will be restarted during the 7-10:30 AM PST RC update window.

Oh gosh, I don't think you want that. Me trying to fix things tends to end up with lots of other things broken and the one thing I was trying to fix sitting in the middle of the wreckage, unscathed. I just find the broken stuff for our awesome developers.

As you might guess from my last name, I work at Linden Lab. Hi! I work on the Second Life Quality Assurance team chasing down all manner of odd, mundane, showstopper, or just minor bugs in Second Life, including the Second Life simulators, servers, and more besides. I've been a Resident for what feels like forever, and this is honestly the best job I've had in my years of QA. I love what I do (even when I have to wear shrek ears!) and my coworkers are the best in the world at what they do.

I hunt the bugs. I find the bugs. I shine bright lights on the bugs and put little tags on them. But it’s up to someone else to get rid of the bugs. If I did any coding for Second Life’s viewer or server we’d all be in trouble!
