Ok Monday was the first time I Logged in since the new update. I found half of my house missing. Well the back porch was gone, plants I had on it were suspended in mid air. I reported it immediately, I haven't' heard anything and I don't expect to. Just wondering if it will be fixed or not. I didn't even know it happened till I noticed I had 30 prims more than I had last week. I had some friends come over to see if I was losing my mind, but it was gone. i want to know if I need to just buy a new house or attempt to build one for myself..I don't want to do either, but I am concerned whether or not this will be resolved or not...

Fixing bugs is a VERY VERY variable process.

A bug can be as simple as the wrong variable being passed to a function call ( maybe as little as 10mins to fix plus texting ) through to an intermittent, tempermental, hardware/driver related bug that can litterally take HOURS or even days to fix.

On average? Probably a couple to 3 hours for each little fix but on top of that you have QA and also that little fix may need duplicating for instance for different drivers.

Still my 3 level porch is missing and no word from Linden on status of anything. I have read posts from others who advised their objects returned when they logged off and back on or changing camera angle. I have done it all. I am seriously considering downgrading back to basic since my purpose for having land myself was for my home and to build, I cant do either now. Parts of my house is still missing, and no need to waste time building another one just to have this happen to me again.
