We will be monitoring this thread during the next week so please feel free to post issues that you feel have been introduced by the new code. Please file a JIRA for issues you find and post the JIRA link into this thread. It really helps us out. When determining if issues are relevant or not research is key. Tracking down exactly the right situation where an issue is occurring greatly speeds up the development process to get fixes in place.

I appreciate your help. Have a good week!

Thankyou Oskar,

Does this mean that the Homesteads that were moved to RC Magnum will now be moved back to the main channel with the fix?

[Oskar Linden]

We can move over individuals as requested. Having a larger pool of region types in the RC helps surface issues like this quicker.

@Oskar

I'm a bit confused, but I should also say that the server version rolled to our sim this UK afternoon does exactly what you said it would do - i.e. it seems to adress the sim performance issues that Homesteads have had these last 2 weeks.

That is a BIG "Well Done LL".

"Just one more thing..." as Columbo might have said... The release notes refer to server no. 11.07.19.236065, we have server no. 11.07.19.236133.  Is that significant in any way, Oskar?

 

Sim no. 5860 Woods of Heaven.

Good catch. We had a bug fix in the new version and I got the numbers wrong.

As much as I enjoy the Head/Butt Deformation bug I would still prefer to have Gemini Isle removed back to the Main Grid at your earliest convemience.

Thanx  :-)

[Hitomi Tiponi]

Eeeek! Blue Steel is rolling - is this the 'Revenge of the Torii'?

On July 28th, beginning at 06:30 PDT, we will be performing rolling restarts on the BlueSteel RC server channel. During this time, we recommend that you refrain from making in-world L$ purchases, as well as rezzing no-copy objects. Information about the server channels can be found on the following links:

Oskar could you please explain why there are so many sea based sims involved in the le tigre RC group.  The fact that these sims are totally unpopulated and hardly used at all would I would think dilute any reports of bugs and make it very difficult for you to accurately determine what is going on with the integration of mesh into the main grid.  Frankly, this makes me very suspicious of what is going on and I truly wonder if the RC program is any more than just another attempt to justify whatever it is LL wants to do this week.

[dngrace]

Since the update yesterday I can hardly move - the world takes ages to load up and everything is jerky and impossible to work. I'm on  an Imac os 10 and not technical at all so I had no idea how to resolve this?  Is this linked to this topic?

[Karma Breen]

Ever since I "upgraded" to the recently released version, the game has slowed terribly.

Everything takes about 3 - 4 times longer to accomplish than before, even simple mundane tasks.

Nothing else has changed with my system, same desktop, software, etc. (HP TS 600-1055, Windows 7)

And, a Pose Stand with over 800 poses went missing after the "upgrade".

Aaarrrggghh!

[Void Singer]

if you "upgraded", then you are in the wrong forum... this is for the server... the viewer is one link over in the main forum view.

SInce the Magnum server deploy on my home sim today, when I log in there my friendslist and group list are both empty, inventory reloads, and land information is not available.

I have completely cleared cache and relogged on another sim with a different server version, and everything loads just fine, including land info.

When I TP back to my home sim, friends and group lists stay ok,  land information is unavailable again. Which of course means i cannot change any land options, radio stream, permissions, access list etc.

Also having trouble tping out, I get logged out when I try from there.

[Siani Janus]

Ok, now i am getting a region unavailable message, but it appears to be online on the map, but no one can get to it, several friends have tried also.

[Moon Metty]

Siani, that looks just like https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4169

[Siani Janus]

The symptoms look similar, but it affected me on that sim only. I got a restart done on the sim, and the problem seems to have corrected. I am putting it down to an incomplete restart with the new server software.
