I know there have been a few rolling restarts recently, so clearly the grid stability index is not improving, but every time I’ve tried to log in this morning I crash to desktop immediately upon sign-in and before I even get a chance for anything in-world to render.
Is it just me, or is this happening to others as well?
Although I do have to admit that I’m writing this post out of frustration, I’m absolutely serious when I say that Second Life® is without question the most unstable platform I’ve ever tried to work with.
I’ve had some random crashing events since last night. I crashed several times in a row, and each time was when I was trying to close my inventory or another window. I don’t know if that is coincidence or related to why I was crashing. I wondered if it was the new Dazzle interface making things difficult, but I really don’t know how I would be able to tell. I haven’t had any other problems since installing the test interface.
I’m not sure I would go so far as to say that things are worse. Things go wrong occasionally—usually it’s quite spectacular when they do—but I honestly believe things are steadily improving regardless of the bumps in the road. Maybe I’m being delusional or hopelessly optimistic. ^^
It used to be, during the first year I was in Second Life, that I very rarely experienced a crash of *any* kind. In the last few months, however, I experience a crash 99% of the time I’m signed in, and that remaining 1% is usually because I sign in for 5 minutes and log out after completing some task like copying a script from my inventory to work on locally and then intentionally signing out.
I suppose it’s a good thing that many people are reporting increased rather than decreased stability overall, though I wonder what the criteria is for “increased stability” since even LL acknowledged recently that 25% of user sessions terminate abnormally.
I have to admit that some things are better in my experience, such as inventory loss, but on the whole my Second Life experience is degrading to the point where I’m rarely motivated to try signing in more than once a day.
