Lots of packet loss all of a sudden

[Foxylove2012]

I recently upgraded my internet to a much higher speed and its been running great until today. I log in and I'm getting loads of packet loss my red bar just filling up completly. I have called my ISP and talked to several different agents and everything is fine on their end. I even tried loading up an online MMO I play and my connection is very smooth. However in SL today its just a lag fest. Is there a problem I should be aware of? Anyone else in the same boat?

It's a network problem on Linden Lab's side - they know about it and are working on it.

It seems to be grid-wide, I'm having similar problems and some people I know are. Lag of all kinds, something is wrong.

Thanks for the reply Theresa. Good to know its not me.

OMG! *Hugs you!* I have been going crazy the past 30 minutes trying to figure out what is going wrong, I restarted my router and everything and was about to call AT&T to yell at them. I thought the problem was on my end. Glad I saw your post.

It's not just excessive lag and packet loss, the problem seems to have bled into the inventory database as well. Standard layers eventually show as worn and rez, but prim items never do, and tons of 'missing from database' errors.. possibly a timeout, dunno.

It's tuesday.  They always do restarts and screw things up on tuesdays

Phew, not me then.  40% packet loss!!!!!!!.  With or without wifi, and on two different connections!  A new definition of unplayable.   I realized that something was up with LL, when I ran into a horde of people recovering from cleared cache at one of the linden sims.

I know that any system like SL will have its massive %&*#'s every now and then.  Why don't most of these incidents make it to the Grid Status report?  Thank goodness for the forums.

Did the Lab ever resolve this? I am still getting packet loss in some regions and they have not updated the grid status blog to say they have. How long is this going to take?

[Lydia Craig]

When has LL resolved anything?  This time is no exception and they appear well on the way to an even bigger mess, maybe though there is a silver lining to this storm though, if the really mess the core server up completely maybe they will actually have to fix it or find somebody who can fix it.  Right now though they seem to be hanging on by a hair and the hair is frayed.
