Rolling Restart to update Havok4 Early Adopter regions is in process
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008 at 1:13 PM by: Sidewinder LindenA rolling restart of the 490 Havok4 Early Adopter regions is about to begin, to deploy a new version of the simulator code. The update process will likely take an hour or two to complete for all regions, but each region should only be offline for a couple of minutes when restarted. I will post another blog entry when the update is complete, including the full list of issues resolved with this new version.
To see if your version has been updated, stand somewhere on the region, and choose “About Second Life…” from the Help menu. The fourth line of text will look like this if the region has completed the update:
“Havok4 Beta Server” “1.19.0.79818″

@1 Drew - see post content - the fix list will be posted after the restart completes. /Sidewinder

So I have to wait 2 hours to find out if something in this fix broke my existing content? Not very smart, Lindens.

@4 Cheshyr: I have two options.. post the fix list now and likely see two hours of “it’s not fixed yet” comments, or to post the fix list once I know that all regions have been updated. I chose the latter, as I thought it would cause less confusion for all involved. /Sidewinder

Do the failing log-ins at the moment have anything to do with that? Everything has been behaving funny today….

*crosses fingers and hopes the prim alignment thinger is on the fixed list*
I’m excited to try it out!

I know this is off topic but at 2pm SLT logins broken, inventory broken, website down, blog failing, rezzing failure, etc.

Oddly enough since this post I noticed various problems - can’t log in for a very long time, blog was and still slow, website had 500 error. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the Havok4 update and LL already sorted this out, but here is the JIRA.
