[Resolved] In-world Issues
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 at 7:50 PM by: rikalinden[16 April 2008, 2052] These issues have been resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Currently, we are seeing issues with in-world presence, object e-mails, group chats, logging, and other things related to the deployment. Please watch here for updates as they become available.
April 16th, 2008 at 7:58 PM
Well, I guess I can stop restarting all my sims, won’t do any good I think…
April 16th, 2008 at 8:00 PM
cant log in nice!! restart, ugh
April 16th, 2008 at 8:02 PM
Agonizing that this has happened virtually every day for weeks now… thanks for letting us know, though. Will we see some general statement about plans to analyze/address this soon?
April 16th, 2008 at 8:03 PM
could this be why voice and people mysteriously vanishing from friends lists? if so ok no problem just curious cause has been happening over the last couple hours. oh well you usually get it fixed pretty fast. good luck
April 16th, 2008 at 8:03 PM
and… my comms servers are offline again. Why were there no problems with this before?
April 16th, 2008 at 8:03 PM
Haven’t been able to save my textures to my disk for days. Sigh.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:05 PM
you forgot to close comments so it seems like everyone is happy.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:09 PM
Perhaps this is part of the ongoing shenanigans that begins daily at 12N SLT? Stale transfers, denied sales, etc?
Come on…instead of paying us lip service, how about you address the issue and then work on fixing it?
April 16th, 2008 at 8:11 PM
Can we see a little more detail on specific problems or symptoms residents might experience, so we know what you are already working on for which we should not bother creating useless tickets?
April 16th, 2008 at 8:13 PM
Well the more things change the more the stay the same or get worse.
You would think that after all these crashes, you would have a handle on this but apparently not, but one thing is certain the more you pile on top of this mess the harder ti will be to find the root of these problems.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:13 PM
lol i find this funny
April 16th, 2008 at 8:14 PM
What is a MEM_BAD_POINTER and why do I get it almost everytime I quit the client. Something new in RC1.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:14 PM
( I know this is somewhat off the subject but.. it’s the only way I will be heard) - The newest RC is not any more stable than the last for Nvidia.
I crash randomly at startup, and it has a severe memory leak after about an hour, it is unusable.
Also, perhaps you should take a serious look at the H4 benefits vs the downfalls? I think you will find that the downfalls far outweigh the benefits. - My 2 cents.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:15 PM
You guys keep saying you have resolved the issues, yet all the issues seem to be related, the other day we had teleport issues, log in issues, now your going to say its unrelated to this issue when its the excate issues as we always have, its called instability, I Loged in and all I saw was fences around with only the blue sky, Linden lab, Some of us will not fall for your these are unrelated issues to the other issues,
Let me put this blunty, Issues are Issues, they all link together. some way some how, Today its trouble logging in and blue floating sky standing on nothing, the other day it was kinda smiler, same concept, we had issues, we’ve been having issues every week. at least 2-4times a Week. So as a Mentor, instructor, I am begging you, Please do something this is becoming nonsense, every other game out on Earth every other virtual world runs stable but SL, they aren’t as great as second life but they Run, Heck even maple story runs better then second life, and its made by a lower end company
April 16th, 2008 at 8:18 PM
and i have not ben able to login to sl for 2 months but i can get ni after the servers reset but for only 30 mins then i never get in
April 16th, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Object emails seems to be back up. yay!
April 16th, 2008 at 8:19 PM
this is so annoying for all..and has been happening for weeks now, Grey people, inventory not loading, inworld failing to rezz, Randomly being booted from sl.
i run a club like many others, with Group IM’s Not working, Group Notices, friends conference not working, we might as well close up, after all we still have to pay land tier, buy lindens and Yes.. Lindens will still expect our $9.95 per month..
April 16th, 2008 at 8:20 PM
Yes, that is the only thing that never fails in here, the 9:95 to Linden Labs.

April 16th, 2008 at 8:23 PM
Oops? Did someone forget to turn off comments? LOL They are in for it now! This has been going on for weeks now and I don’t think your “resolved” means what you think it means. If the problem reoccurs with in hours its not resolved. In some cases when you say resolved I’m thinking wth are you smoking thinking this crap is resolved. Your latest upgrade on a scale of 1 to 10? -100
April 16th, 2008 at 8:26 PM
all this crap started for me when they hit the 9.0 something around the end of march
April 16th, 2008 at 8:33 PM
Please tell me that this explains why half my inventory isn’t loading! it’s really annoying as the stuff I really need, is the stuff that won’t load :’(
On another note, I agree with one of the other posters, regarding the issues themselves not being mentioned. I don’t want to complain too much about this, but I believe it could be helpful if problems were detailed in any posts made, regarding in world problems. it would sae people beginning building etc… at times when their efforts are seemingly wasted
April 16th, 2008 at 8:36 PM
Before turning out a forced ** NEW FIX PATCH ** Download and Everyone gets peblems..
Shouldnt this be tested fully for a few weeks on a Beta Grid? and Not forcing it out Live???
When i started Sl about a yr and half ago.. there wasn’t any problems at all, sometimes rezzing took a while due to the amount of people online at a single sim.. But No in world issues and nothing a quick relog wouldnt fix..
But now the People ONLINE are half the amount there was back then, due to ..
1) the amount of problems.
2) The Anti gambling rules, taking away slots, sploders etc.. That was Fun for people and harmless..
but i see SL’s Role play rape, BDSM and SLAVERY, shooting people on a sim is acceptable.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:39 PM
Lindens - we all want you to reply to us but you still continue to ignore us. Are you going to ever refund us for the fortune we spend with you in world? How about reduced tier fees or extended services? Extended free classifieds? The ’service’ you offer is a joke nowdays. Nah course you won’t because that takes integrity. Try looking that word up one day - its not like you seem to do much else nowdays but screw things up anyway.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:40 PM
No no, don’t worry, keep working on side projects and features, rather then fixing bugs that have plagued SL for upwards of months, if not a year or more (like group chat errors). I hear that there different teams to work on different parts of SL, but as I’ve seen it, there is no point in having multiple groups if the entirety barely chugs along as is.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Congratz on the work you have done to fix the grid Linden Labs. It is a well oiled machine thats to the hard workers you have. Keep up the great work. I do love the stale transactions. Might as well keep 0L$ on me so I no longer have to payout.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Hey LL…thanks for working on the problems. You’re doing all this and probably through the night while I’ll be sleeping. Okay, everything may not be perfect, but at least you’re working on it at least.
Thanks for your honesty in letting us know.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:44 PM
And another thing you NEED to fix
I Need to HUG my Wife and friends Properly..
Try Hugging another Linden and see what happens..
You Bounce.. YES bounce… Like your humping a leg
Is This Yet another “Collision Error” in the coding?
April 16th, 2008 at 8:46 PM
Who is the top tech person?
Why do they not post to the blog?
What are they waiting for?
April 16th, 2008 at 8:46 PM
Yes, thanks for posting this update. I have been working with an object that uses object-to-object email extensively, and for a while there I thought I was losing my mind (or my code was). Now I know it wasn’t me!
Keep us informed! And thanks for all your hard work.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:47 PM
Maybe you could stop saying that things are [RESOLVED] in the first place…they NEVER are in SL sadly. You guys would be more credible if you just start accepting that. I LOVE sl. But hate when ppl just dont accept that something is really wrong… ;-(
April 16th, 2008 at 8:48 PM
hmm “I’m sorry for the inconvience”, Thank you for your Patience” is getting old, FAST. Fix it, or take a step back to a previous stable dl, and then fix the “great H4″, which to me is not so great. Think about small buisness owners, and major companies in game that lose sales, they never get those down times in transactions back. Ever think about helping or offer asistance to them? Doubtfull. done venting..fix the problem please
April 16th, 2008 at 8:49 PM
I am unable to activate my groups to me. I find this to be a serious concern and I need help.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Would be nice if you folks at LL would work on fixing the broken stuff first, instead of adding more to this thing… I’ve been suffering from memory error crashes which i find hard to belived seens how SL is the only thing i have running and having 2gig of ram.. go figures… Cant update to new version cuz you ppl screwed up the graphics settings Just had to add a auto setting feature to it when the old one worked just fine.. when are you ppl gonna learn?? Then you try to blow smoke up our rears saying our video drivers need to be updated, or our computers need to be updated.. what about the ppl that have older puters and older video cards??? you don’t give a 4 cent care about them only how you look to others which at this point is like a bunch of fools… Once again Try fixing the broken stuff first b 4 adding more un-needed BS…
April 16th, 2008 at 8:54 PM
/me clings desperately to her Nicholaz BE-v viewer.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:56 PM
Since last update sl is a mess…more lag. tp problems. delivery of products no goes…I pay more of 155 $ every month, 1860 $ every year (omg)…if my electricity server, that costs really less of that, assume responsability of service…what happens with sl? I love sl…really think that it can be future of a lot of things, but Why RL Companies, University, and more people dont make more things in this Virtual World? Because their offer is incompatible with every day technical issues. Please, resolve all this problems and let SL grows…no dies
April 16th, 2008 at 8:57 PM
Does in world presence refer at all to objects and their being missing? Currently, I am missing about 3000 objects I had rezzed out on my parcel and these items have not been returned to my lost and found or any part of my inventory, just poof! gone!
I checked around and this appears to be a problem in the entire sim of Minna, where neighbours are also missing many objects that were rezzed.
I would really appreciate knowing where all my objects went…
April 16th, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Don’t worry guys, the problems have been [Resolved]! Everybody to my place! Open bar!
April 16th, 2008 at 9:02 PM
I am still *so* happy that I don’t pay anything for SL. At least *I* get what I pay for! LOL
April 16th, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Resolved. Yeah, right. I’ve heard *that* before.
April 16th, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Just before i upgraded to 19.0, I started to freeze…no curer, no ctrl-alt-delete. i had to hard boot 3 or 4 times a day. When upgraded to 1.20.0 and it got worse. Hard Booted 10-15 times a day..GRRrrr.
Ver 20.0 ate 3/4 of my inventory and left the empty folders. i am on a fixed income and will take forever to replace. Why is this happening. Update 20.1 is a little better for me…still time to load inventory, can’t open attachments, lag in chat, and as day gets later the freezing starts again. I am afraid to buy anything. You seem to be heading in right direction but who is replacing my inventory…SECOND LIFE?
April 16th, 2008 at 9:10 PM
I’m crashing a lot these past few days…
April 16th, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Linden, please show us the graph and information about events and issues. Please make a experience of uncomfortable index rather than technical down time service. Interrupt service, unhappy database and unable unable logging seem like our daily meal. It is about time to consider reduce my land holding.
April 16th, 2008 at 9:33 PM
I believe you at LL are working very hard on SL and deserve a pat on the back & not a slap in the face. SO many people don’t have anything better to do than point out the flaws with something rather than be happy for what they have. SL is a great experience and should there be maintenance or other in-world issues, that’s the price you pay for such great technology. Things are bound to break and luckily they are also bound to be fixed. Keep up the great work LL.
April 16th, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Resolved? Last min’s story. Still cannot log in. I was about to start a transaction on land. I think should with hold large money transaction. I believe LL doing great work but that does not mean we have to bear with them. I pay membership fees and tier there. They are holding a business promising. Is that really ok for your internet connection unscheduled disconnect everyday? Is it really great that your company website cannot connect outside due to hosting company’s unscheduled down or issues?

I had trouble logging in yesterday. Took three times before I was online. While positioning some linked objects I received several notices indicating that I did not have permission to move the object. When hovering in fly mode I have noticed a degree of bobbing and it feels like my avatar is sinking. It is very nauseating especially while building and flying. The world map has been slow to open but getting better.
With so many personal complaints it is clear to see why comments have been closed for some time. We have all been given the opportunity to participate in the creation and development of this new frontier that is Second Life. Demonizing the creators of this amazing world will do little to strengthen our relationship.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:27 PM
I know you are working hard, but please fix the basic issues before adding any more “enhancements.” SL is all about friends, groups, building, shopping, dancing. It is not about fancy graphics. If my friends list won’t load, I can’t talk to them. If my group notices and chat don’t work, I may as well not schedule or try to attend any activities. If my inventory disappears or purchase transactions fail, what is the point of shopping? If I can’t save a revised notecard or a build, what is the point of trying to create anything? If there are constant problems with all of these activities, as there have been for over a month recently, what is the point of SL? Especially if I can’t even log in.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Second comment: Thanks for leaving comments open on this issue. I’ve read the entire list, and it seems to me that the ones posted are well-thought-out and relevant. I wish you would do this more often - at least it would give us a way to vent our frustration, even if nobody at LL reads them.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:29 PM
[RESOLVED]
April 16th, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Any chance that LL will allow us the courtesy of NOT paying ad fees since we have all lost so much these past few weeks? Commerce hasnt continued, yet we still are charged as if everything is happy. If we as merchants feel the pinch, so should our service.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I can’t help myself, Look people this world is what we have made it. The Classifieds how much does it cost to be at the top of the listings? Try and tell me someone who pays 50k for an advertisement is not making money.
If I have 16 4096meter plots rented how much money is that and how much is the Linden tier?
Downtime. They want kickbacks for downtime. And exactly how does one calculate the value of your unsold whore uniforms or humping machine?
Computer problems loaded 1.9 uh box said you are not compatible or some crap I click the box continue and works fine. 512mb of ram with a factory graphics card a real computer not a laptop. So many questions about os and none anyone should answer for security reasons.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:04 PM
WHEN WILL WE EVER GET VALUE FOR MONEY IN THIS SAD EXUSE FOR A VIRTUAL WORLD ?
April 16th, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Would be really nice if I could manage to login at times that suit me to play, and then be able to stay on and do anything at all other than look at the sky and water. Hopefully one day I will be able to again.
Cos I did used to enjoy SL, and miss it.
But on the other hand I do really need to thank Live Chat Support for saving my butt late last night (aussie time). If not for them coming to my rescue, I would have lost the land (just a mere 762 sq m) I have waited patiently almost 3 years to acquire.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:17 PM
Want to ditch the latest and bug ridden client versions and go back to a version that was stable and working for you but were forced to “downgrade” to the latest broken viewers??
It’s easy, all you do is install the older version again, assuming you have the install file saved and edit the desktop shortcut.
In the target line of the shortcut you only need to edit the end bit after the .exe file
The target line should look something like this: (varies due to user setup)
C:\Program files\Secondlife\Secondlife.exe” -channel noupdate
This will force the client to not check for mandatory updates.
Enjoy
April 16th, 2008 at 11:49 PM
I hope the issue with Mac desktops and mice will be solved in the new RC. My view is bumping around in all directions, and sometimes my avatar moves without taking the view with her (I turn around, and see myself facing the screen, or walk off into the distance while the view stands still).
Using the alt button and zoom in or cam around? Very, very difficult. Plus, I have trouble changing the time of the day, and with sitting. In short: I’m forced not to use WindLight.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:51 PM
@55 nice one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there are some people that understand how to use the UI.Unlike some goes around looking they they have a half of a brain of understand!!!!!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 12:11 AM
Lindens, please, take heed of this. Riven Homewood brings up a very valid point (posts 48 & 49): We’re unable to experience Second Life as it was intended. No friends lists, no chat, no build…. it’s getting to the point where people are forced to look for alternative solutions- like the one suggested by Wolfe Bain (post 55): use an older, more stable client. And that’s not going to fix everything, just the client-side difficulties and errors. Why not put all the extras, additions and enhancements on hold?
I realize that it’s difficult (VERY difficult) to do what I’m about to suggest, but don’t dismiss it out of hand: rebuild it. Talk to anyone who was here a year ago, two years, or from back to the beginning. Ask them what has changed. Most will say that everything was flawless at the start. Going between sims- on foot or otherwise- was something you never worried about.
The base code, on both sides, but the server especially- is doing things it was probably never intended to do.
A house with a flawed foundation will collapse. The SL ‘foundation’ is sound, but it’s doing things it was never meant to do. You’ve built a skyscraper and simply placed it on top of a two-story house. Make a team to build a new set of server and client side apps, built from the ground up to work with SL as you’re trying to make it work today. Then migrate us all over there. Heck, if it means bug-free and trouble-free SL experience, I’ll take a week or two off to let you get it all right. All I ask is that you DO so.
All the patching and additions and all are great- Windlight is gorgeous beyond words, even on low settings, and on high it’s practially a work of art- but all that wonderful graphical beauty is lost if we can’t log in, can’t experience the world.
Please. Give us what you’ve been saying. Take the time to do it right, rather than do a quick fix. Duct tape and bailing wire can only hold something together too long before it completely comes apart.
That’s all I ask.
April 17th, 2008 at 12:53 AM
I notice that everything in-world is rezzing much more quickly today and I can walk without zig-zagging.
Whatever you have done, let’s have more of it.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:05 AM
I have just had the opportunity to read through these comments and I have to say it has helped me put my own rather troubled SL times in perspective.
I am enjoying SL tremendously … the challenges are seemingly endless … but in common it seems with many many other residents the endless round of fixing builds and searching for inventory items has become rather a tiresome burden.
I have worked in IT service related areas for many years … many of those services have been critical ones provided to support the infrastructure of national services … There are ways of avoiding the poor user experience.
All I am urging you to do is get an ‘overview’ of what you are doing … if it means getting a new set of eyes on the roadmap then get some independent expertise in … you are on the brink of having either an amazing virtual world - or NO RESIDENTS!!
Give some thought please to reigning in some of the obvious technical experise and enthusiasm you at LL obviously have and focus back on the customer experience.
Having said all of that I am now going to enjoy SL and … even if some of my comment may not suggest it … Thumbs UP to eveyone at LL … You are SERIOUSLY talented people!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 1:25 AM
i cant get dressed …cant build…cant put things in my shop/s…new things i bought seemd to have disapperared…i am not getting group messages or ims…this is familiar pattern for soo long isnt funny…how about u look at the old issues…spend real time in world and then start bringing out new viewers and stuff…is time to listen to the people of SL…where would u be without us…ohhh and most annoying is not getting replies from support tickets about land issues…time to show that u appreciate the money we put into the coffers and listen and help us for a change…make the game user friendly…please!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 1:37 AM
Dearest Lindens (all Lindens)
Please, I beg you … STOP with LYING as NOTHING is RESOLVED.
Still TP Problems, and all the other fun stuff all the other Residents posted here already ….
And by the way … by enforcing things upon the Residents, you just get the opposite result … YOU are chasing Residents away …. as already a great part of the European Residents did leave . Maybe due to the fact that Europeans aren t so sheepish by accepting a borked medium at each new “release” or “update” … Europeans are more picky I think about Quality than in the US ….
I know, that creating a virtual world like Second Life isn t easy at all, and that sometimes there can be some problems …. BUT have seen the difference since last year when I logged in the first time …. well Dear Lindens, Give me back that time pls … Suffered some minor problems, a quick relog, and all was working again …
Now-a-days, I personally first log into the site to check IF the situation is SNAFU TARFU or FUBAR .. even before logging into SECOND LIFE …. and if TARFU or FUBAR I prefere to do my dishes or ironing than logging in ….
Just a few words of advice, you take them or leave them.
1. Let the left hand know what the right hand is doing (apparantly this is not the case right now)
2. Get a decend Quality Control before “updating” or “releasing” things.
3. Dont take the Residents for granted, for a certainty
4. Try for once to communicate with the Residents, not inworld but on the site …. Because inworld isn t possible because of Lag .. or IF Second Life is online at that moment ….
To END still a big hearty THANK YOU for the fun world that Second Life can be ( If ONLINE, and not suffering from bugs and glitches)
April 17th, 2008 at 2:36 AM
damn are u kidding me …. i tryed to logg in ,they told me to download the new version … the new version didnt work …..and since it finally worked and i had the chance to push the connect button it told me to install the old version ..when i downloaded the old version and tryed to logg in sl told me again to install the new version WTF??? fix this damn probs pls ….its just annoying allways any problems with sl …. IT BLOWS!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 3:13 AM
“And by the way … by enforcing things upon the Residents, you just get the opposite result … YOU are chasing Residents away …. as already a great part of the European Residents did leave .

Laughs it doesnt matter what part of the world……….( here in Japan included) If Quility is bad it reflects in its ability to have people pay for service………In that case Second Life is in deep rabbit Poo.

April 17th, 2008 at 3:22 AM
I dont know why I even bother to comment anymore…
I do however feel a bit better by saying publicly that this platform and your company sucks on so many levels.
I’ve been with you for 2 years… I’m now throwing in the towell.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:54 AM
Resloved? I think not…Thursday 04:55 AM SL…”Despite our best efforts….”
You know the drill! Come on guys, I want to play…
April 17th, 2008 at 4:10 AM
not resolved as usual…I was trying to rezz things just now…I could, eventually, after about 4 minutes things appears. I thought to myself to go look in the blog if anything is the matter…and then I refrased that thought in my head…”when is something NOT the matter?” Never it seems…and sadly things are getting progressively worse. Why are tp’s taking forever to go through now since the new viewer? just an example…
April 17th, 2008 at 4:16 AM
What is wrong with the people who run Second Life. I realize that people can live without Second Life… However it seems like every other day there is an issue on Second Life. They keep saying to upgrade to this and it will fix it… but nope that didn’t work. They keep giving other reasons now. Isn’t there someone who actually specializes in fixing these problems that continue to happen. You either can’t sign on, you lag, or you crash.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:23 AM
Not resolved!! I can’t log in Heeeeeelllllllpppp !!!!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 4:34 AM
I thought “RESOLVED” meant that it was corrected, fixed, but apparently what it means is “let’s all cross our fingers and pray that it doesn’t happen again”.
Well, guess what? Prayers sure aren’t workiing
April 17th, 2008 at 4:41 AM
Does this explain why people searches aren’t working? Just goes into Searching … and never returns. Ah well.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:44 AM
I wonder how many of us are laughing and/or cursing every time you have this opinion survey and you ask us to tell you if our SL experience becomes better or worst as the time goes by…personally I believe it’s pointless to ask smth like that coz you should already know the answer. Anyways…after a certain while you just don’t get upset with all these problems I believe….you just make fun of it and you try to guess when the whole thing will go BOOM for good…
April 17th, 2008 at 4:52 AM
Oh, how I wish I could log in again and check on my investments in SL. But, alas, Lindens feel that today I should take a break and not be able to log in. Thanks for deciding to give me a vaction from spending money in SL, Lindens.
Let me know when I can come back, ok?
April 17th, 2008 at 4:54 AM
well sadly all is still not working right. No voice at this moment, loggs are saved although I always have that option out. So for no loggs I have to change the settings everytime I log in.
Ow and one more thing….. I really really would like to see my skirts when I put them on….Hope you help us out soon.
But why is there nothing on the blog over this??? It shows that all things yesterday are resolved but this is today so I think a new update would be handy??
But further I have to stay honest.,.. still have no regrest of being a sl resident and I hope to stay that as long as possible so keep up all the good work behind the scene.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:56 AM
Why don’t Lindens say: “Okay folks, we messed up and are going back to our original format, before we began fixing things and actually made them worse”.
Every day it gets worse. Today I can’t log in, so back to “Sims2″ I go….
April 17th, 2008 at 5:01 AM
cant seem to loging where is the problem

Starting to get REALLY angry now.
I own land, fashionbusiness with 64 shops (and 64 rents to pay) a livemusicvenue (with 10 booked musicians each week) and are a livemusician aswell (booked up to 7 days per week) in SL and last weeks NOTHING is working anymore.
Started from that saturday april 4th.
I have suffered hugh incomelosts because of all issues - I can not sell from my shops or do my booked shows or run my scheduled events if its not even possible to log in. :-O
I DO NOT NEED ANY FANCY LOOKING WATER AROUND ME - I NEED A STABLE SL SO I CAN HAVE MY BUSINESSES WORKING!!!
And the latest updatet viewer …. what a joke!
My whole graphiccard totally blow up. I could not see a shit - everything went crazy, no matter how I confugurated in preferences.
And NO, my graphiccard is not old, my computer is not slow and I have all the latest drivers!!
Lucky I found the old more stable version that I after almost two days with graphicmess could reinstall.
That was like 12 hours ago and now … I can not log in, and no explainations here in the blog whats causing that, whish is strange since I know many others having the same problem now. :-/
So again - how can I have my business working in SL and/or schedule my events and/or be able to do all shows I´m booked at if I not even can log in??
And how can you bee so greedy that you actually think I should pay you for a service that does not work even halfgood anymore??
(I have my first rezday next week so I have one year of experience of SL and it has become MUCH more unstable since I started here!)
STOP DOING ALL THE FANCY UPDATESHIT AND CONCENTRATE ON THE PROBLEMS INSTEAD! THANKS!

As of 5:25 am SLT, I am unable to log in. I get the ‘despite our best efforts’ message. Been trying since 5am.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:27 AM
Its very nice. :-))
April 17th, 2008 at 5:28 AM
Cant log in… Upgrades are supposed to fix things not make things worse. Why cant you just leave things alone!
April 17th, 2008 at 5:30 AM
5:28 and still no logging in…. interesting stuff really, guess I will spend my money elsewhere.. please please please get this fixed.
Oh, and about the skirts that we pay so dearly for… could SL permit us to wear them please? Some of us dont like walking around nearly naked.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:30 AM
Don’t write Resolved if it is not.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:32 AM
I sold my land and downgraded my account to free. At one time I had a club, store, art gallery, and rentals. I have found that many of the “new” members are just alts and camping bots. Land prices are so unstable now I would recommend everyone still owning land to put it up for sale and cross their fingers. It’s very sad that many places are closing because of all of the problems here. All we ever hoped for was a stable world and and a chance to make something of it.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:32 AM
I cannot log in this morning as well. Was trying to respond to an “I’m Busted” message from something I built. Guess it’ll just have to stay broken for the day. But at least it’ll be in good company, with the rest of SL also being broken as well.
On the plus side, nobody will know.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:33 AM
ummmmm….resolved??????? i don´t think so guys, can´t login
April 17th, 2008 at 5:33 AM
1000 US dollars per month in tier fees and a platform that has never really “worked”, I wonder if LL even knows how stretched our patience has become? As they never read these posts it would be pointless to rant so I won´t.
But I will say this this, with one keystoke they wiped out both Surfing and Sailing, 2 of the “Big 3″, leaving only Sex working (sorta). They break that and SL will be empty overnight, LOL.
I give up.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:33 AM
Why don’t we all go to San Francisco, CA and show the Lindens how good we are at fixing things they obviously cannot fix?
No answer, heh?
It is always easy to pontificate and criticize until you are with your hands in the mess.

Ooooo, an empty box! I’d better type something…
Wow, you guys at LL amaze me. Why not just call it Second Life(tm) Release Candidate? What ARE you doing to this place?! What the helll has been going on over at LL?
How many more of these “issues” can you throw at us (unrelated, of course :D) ? I can’t even dream about using Windlight becuase I have an ancient (2 year old) ATI vid card. H4 went a WHOLE lot better than I thought it would - to your credit - but these other problems, the borking of transactions, groupchat, IM’s, inventory et seq. — their persistence is starting to go beyond the pale.
I think one of you lindens should post some sort of response. LOL, after all, you’re the ones who turned the comments on! Boy, Philip’s gonna be mad when he comes in this morning lmao “Who turned those comments on!?!?”
XD
April 17th, 2008 at 5:35 AM
I am annoyed. It says here in-world issues resolved. Well, they are not resolved. I can’t log in. How the bloody hell can they be resolved if I can’t even log in? If you can’t fix Second Life, you can at least update your blog and update us with the true situation.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:37 AM
why i can’t get in . i tryed atleast 4 times to get in it won’t let me ….. thanks
April 17th, 2008 at 5:38 AM
LOLOLOL
I CANT LOG IN EITHER!!!
/me laughs maniacally while being bound up in a straightjacket and carted off
April 17th, 2008 at 5:39 AM
Atleast be honest with us, if log ins are shut down, post that they’re shut down. Enough of this “something has gone wrong” nonsense that I keep seeing. There’s 39k members online, are we safe to say that the campers and alts are having their day of remembrance of a time when SL actually worked well(prior to voice)?
(waits patiently while mumbling “I should just spend my tier fee on a few Wii games every month instead of SL)
April 17th, 2008 at 5:41 AM
hmmm…I agree…they’re not quite resolved…I can’t log into my ‘last location’ (tried several times) even though I can log into my home….and they are in the same sim…
April 17th, 2008 at 5:42 AM

April 17th, 2008 at 5:46 AM
Your wasting your time guy’s no one is reading this apart from us,they wont even give us an update on the problem.How much effort does it take to write a few words letting people know ?
April 17th, 2008 at 5:47 AM
FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT!

April 17th, 2008 at 5:49 AM
99: dont even try to ask, i am starting to think LL was started good, but they recently hjired a bunch of high-school dropouts
April 17th, 2008 at 5:49 AM

@29
They are waiting for a wonder. That God comes down, make a fingersnip and the Grid is stable. Another fingersnip and the Viewer on ALL Computers is stable.
With all due respect, what you think how long you can do this? You understand that this issues since at least four weeks are a really really bad for any business? With all the Problems the past four weeks the Economy is on the ground. I don’t believe your statistics, because you made them. I’ll try now to clear all things and wait till all rents runs out and then i’m leavi
