That case you describe could be the same bug, or could be a different bug, such as SVC-8130. One way to investigate is to note whether the disconnect is due to a breakdown in simulator<>simulator communication between neighboring regions, or just an issue with viewer<>simulator communication. In the latter case, scripted objects in neighboring regions should be able to hear each other's chat when within range.

Hi Amber, the original bug in this particular case is that regions wouldn't communicate with their neighbors for up to an hour after a region restart, causing neighboring regions to be invisible and also block things like LSL chat across sim borders. With the fix, the hope is that regions should reconnect to each other after a few minutes of a region restart.

Hi Perrie, you should contact support about the performance problem in 'Brilliant'.

Thanks for the reports, Lucia and Chriss. I was able to reproduce BUG-2850; I think the issue is that when build is allowed for your avatar but object entry is disallowed, object rezzing from avatar or object inventory fails (one can only create new prims). The same issue might be causing BUG-2844 too, since your active group tag would determine the object's set group. We're still investigating this bug. BUG-2850 is severe enough by itself to warrant a rollback - LeTigre and BlueSteel are rolling to the same version as Magnum.

Hi Lydia, what do you mean by this? : "Memory use is 10 higher than in the past" I checked the memory usage stats on some regions, and they seem normal.

Hi Ayesha, since nearby avatars appear in the simple case in Magnum regions, we really need a Jira report with the specific details gathered.

Hi MB, do you have some example SLURLs? I just visited 'Magnum Sandbox 1', and other avatars appear normal when I TP within it (I tried between 2 ground-level locations, and also up to 3000m elevation and back).

Please note that the rolls for this week will be delayed a day from our usual schedule.  The main channel roll will be on Wednesday morning and the RC channel rolls will be on Thursday morning.   The post update at 2013-05-29 16:00PDT was just to bump the version number for the RC channels.

I was able to confirm the bug that Lucia and Kimiko reported in their comments above.

Hi Ayesha, I looked at the 'Woods of Heaven' case you reported. It looks like that region hit an exception right around the rolls, which is probably the event you saw of a sudden shutdown without warning.

The post edit at 2013-05-14 14:45PDT was to update the build numbers for the RC channels.   Server releases are once again moving forward.   Second Life Server (main channel) The main channel is getting the experience permissions project that was previously on all three RC channels.  This project should bring no visible changes at this point. https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Server/13#13.05.04.275247 Scheduled Tuesday 2013-05-14 05:00-12:00 PDT   Second Life RC BlueSteel, Second Life RC LeTigre, and Second Life RC Magnum: All three RC channels are getting a new server maintenance project.  This project fixes some bugs (including some crash mdoes), and also adds LSL support to create and parse JSON-formatted strings. https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_RC_BlueSteel/13#13.05.14.275813 https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_RC_LeTigre/13#13.05.14.275813 https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_RC_Magnum/13#13.05.14.275813 Scheduled Wednesday 2013-05-15 07:00-11:00 PDT   We will be monitoring this thread as the code gets released, so feel free to note any observations you have about the server updates.  If you have a specific bug you'd like to report, please file a Jira. 

Hi Ayesha, I'm doubtful that any code changes with this week's update would affect region crossing performance. My suspicion is that specific sim hosts or network conditions were poor at the time of your crossing.

Norton Burns wrote: not certain whether it's directly related to the server deploy, but several users have been reporting the old 'face East after TP' behaviour has changed. The direction faced now appears to be random overall, but sim-specific. TPing back & forth between several sims repeatedly seems to give the same direction for each specific sim, yet different to the other sims in the 'set' no matter what order you visit them. I tested with 2 avies - they don't face the same way as each other at the same landing points. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-2538 (copying my comment from the Jira): Hi Norton, thanks for the report. There actually was a change in this SLS version related to the direction in which you face for TPs, but it wasn't present in the release notes until just now: >> ** Fixed a bug: "Orientation data for landing point is disregarded during teleport" Landing points on parcels store 'look at' vectors in addition to positional vectors, so that the landing point can have no visitors face Northwest, for example. When you set a landing point on a parcel, it captures your avatar's current position and orientation and sets that as the landing point. Right now, the viewer only displays the position side of that information, but there is an upcoming change to also have the viewer display the directional heading of the landing point. It was actually a longstanding bug that you would always face East following a TP - this was caused by a mis-parsing of the 'look at' vector to be <0,0,0>, which somehow got mapped to <1,0,0> (East). The change in this server means that the landing point 'look at' position is now respected. It's likely that the parcels you visit had a strange orientation set for their landing point - this can be fixed by the parcel manager setting the landing point in a direction that makes sense. That said, while testing the landing point behavior some more today to confirm what you've reported, I did notice a bug - when I teleport between two parcels on the same region, and the destination parcel has a landing point set, your avatar's look-at position following TP is neither aligned with the parcel's landing point setting and does not face the point I targeted within the parcel. This bug does not appear when teleporting between two different regions, so it doesn't sound like you were hitting it from your test in the description.

Ah, see the next line, Inara: * Changes since 13.04.26.274926 ** Includes changes from Second Life Server 13.04.29.274986 That 13.04.29.274986 version has all the AO goodies.

Hi Lydia, I don't have any news about the 'missing prims' issue. Since it's a viewer bug, the fix would likely come from a viewer release. Louise: No, there are no changes which should affect latency much.
