Beta grid downtime

[ChinRey]

Posting this in the Mesh forum since it's probably mainly of interest to mesh makers. (Moderators: pelase feel free to move it if you feel it should be somewhere else).

The beta grid has been down for almost two days now with no explanation so I asked live chat support about it. Their answer was that they are performing maintenance of the grid and unfortunately could not give any estimate when it would be back online.

Thanks ChinRey.  I've been trying to figure out what was happening.  All this weekend and today, I was getting a "login failed" message on the beta grid.  The "Status Blog" where you would expect to find the information had no mention of it.  So . . . I greatly appreciate your message.

I have this error too, funny thing is EVERY TIME i have tried to log in to the Beta Grid, it does this. If the option is there for us to use it, then why the hell do we have to contact customer support just to have this work (i say that from reading other posts about the issue) so annoying

yes you'r right... and say it right, you have the OPTION to use it, LL never ever did garantee it works, when it works and how it works

Another old irrelevant thread, but ----

 

Lani was there  a day ago uploading and there were a couple of other people there. I looked on the file an it was 7 AM SLT on the 24th that she was testing. 

I just tried and she is there now. Try MESH SANDBOX 3.

I was just on the beta grid. It's up, mostly. It's just hard to find things, because search for the beta grid doesn't really reflect what's there.. I keep getting sent to regions that don't exist. When you find out how to get somewhere on the beta grid, landmark it, so you can find it again.

I've been doing vehicle half-unsit tests on the beta grid at LL's request. There's now a big sandbox running a test release and full of all sorts of vehicles - vehicles hung in midair, vehicles running and stuck at an obstacle after dumping the rider, and various ones just parked. Lindens have been testing there.  This used to be mysterious, only failed during heavy load / script heavy avatar / etc. No, all it takes is a short period of 1000ms network delay and a 4-sim intersection. Instant fail. With that, LL can debug.

I hope they can fix this. I just want to tour and enjoy SL with friends, not maintain the system.

Umm, this thread is a year and a half old now.

There was a Big Downtime that lasted for days back then and lots of people were asking what happened but  think they've fixed that by now.
