Nothing beats turning it off and then on again ... once in a while. As always please plan events around these maintenance windows. However, if you are hosting an event on Tuesday or Wednesday when we're not deploying new code, you can restart your region ahead of time to avoid interruptions.

About 10% of the grid is on the 542403 RC right now; if you'd like to try the fix, these are a few example mainland regions on that version: Davis Gulf Portage Bay Falmouth Chishonganiro Bay City - Rollers Bouraq Sandbox Island Shamwari Hiltrude West Haven

The restarts are totally unrelated to the stipends delay.

The current version of the notes at https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2020-05-15T18%3A31%3A37.542403.html picked up this BUG jira instead, which is a dupe of BUG-228696: BUG-228743 Group notices get timestamped with the current time Let's see if I can nudge the notes-generating script to pick up 228696 instead...

Thanks for pointing that out! The links have been fixed.

Please see today's new thread: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/454888-deploy-plans-for-the-week-of-2020-05-18/ We have a fix scheduled in one of the RCs rolling out on Wednesday. If you would like try the fix early, the build is currently deployed to several regions on the beta grid, including 'Ahern'.

Unfortunately, none of these updates include a fix for BUG-228680.

Yes, SL-12600 should be fixed in this update. That issue became referenced in the notes via BUG-228565, which SL-12600 is linked to.

We identified the source of the failure and have fixed it just now. Sorry for the trouble!

Hi Lucia, I won't be focused on simulator updates coming out in the near future, so I wouldn't have much to contribute to user group.

Hi guys, apologies for the delay. The release notes for the current server versions have been added to https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/

If you reconnect to 'Shopping', things should be back to normal with your viewer. If there are scripts using HTTP-In on your region, you may want to ask an estate manager to restart the sim. In general, I'd recommend filing an issue like this at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/

Now that bottleneck seems to have (been) cleared and CDN is running as expected Grid-Wide. It'd be nice if some explanation of what was going on was made public but the tech side of LL are notoriously shy of explaning things (even assuming that they know what was happening), so I guess we all should just thank the dieties that it is now fixed. :smileywink: The symptoms (failed region connects, high ping times) don't seem to match up with the CDN at all. All the CDN is providing at this point is meshes, textures, and map tiles. If the CDN were totally offline, the worst you should see is a world of grey with no meshes loading, assuming your viewer hadn't previously cached the assets in that area. Given that the issue seemed to be UK-specific (at least from the comments in this thread), I suspect there was regional network issue, somewhere on the path between the UK to Phoenix (where sims are currently hosted).

Ayesha Askham wrote: Maestro I am seeing some anomalous behaviour at the moment on Main Server sims. In one case the prims on a region appeared long before the terrain, but the more general issue is sudden and massive increases in sim ping with pings of up to 20 seconds for about 15-20 seconds. This occurred on three separate Main Server sims and was absent on two LeTigre RC sims I visited. I thought in might be local but I have seen no glitching in my local net parameters. TP between Main Server sims also seemed very slow yet to LeTigre and between LeTigre sims it appeared normal. Any reports of server-comms issues? No, I haven't heard any reports of anything like that (or seen it firsthand, on the main channel today). The main channel is running the same exact builds as the RCs, since the RCs haven't been rolled yet, and there's no difference between the channels in terms of network location. Could it be that certain mainland regions are performing poorly?

Are you talking about region Lochme, which appears to have restarted twice during the roll?

Second Life Server (main channel) The main channel is getting the CDN texture and mesh fetch project, which was on all RC channels last week.
