Friendly advisory but the estate tools have a critical flaw in them as of the last update.

Setting 'Restricted Push' in the estate menu may spontaneously reset the sim to all zero values (including a 0.0 prim multiplier which will return all the objects in the sim), this will also set the agent limit to '0' which will disallow anyone from entering the sim (including the owner).

It seems to happen about 10% of the time, but it's a major bug nonetheless. Contact Concierge straight away if this happens to get a rollback done.

Big thanks to Cyn & Jack Linden who did a rollback on the two sims we had affected by it.

Adam, was one of the sims Draco?

Is this just happening with the estate function, or does it happen when group members set their group land to no push?

It's an estate-only function, and yes, Draco was one of the sims, Fornax the other -- it's all sorted now, LL did a rollback (so anything which was nuked should be back where it was before the incident occured).

It's only a bug that affects the estate tools themselves, so 99.9% of the SL population can safely ignore this warning. It's just sim owners who will have to watch out.

Thanks to Adam for letting us know about this! We're looking into it now and will let folks know what we discover. If - as it seems - this is a confirmed bug, then clearly we'll get it fixed asap.

Cheers,


Jack

This is the release scheduled for the day after tomorrow, right?

Only on private estates, though.

Did they ever get the other estate bugs fixed?

I never heard again about the returning selected scripted object one, if it still has the potential to return every scripted item..

Or

The disable selected not working at all bug.. I got sent an email asking me to confirm if it's still working but I really haven't been in SL much and am not visiting the few sims I'm a manager of lately due to personal issues. (no drama here, just difference in management styles)
