Hrm Buncha Missing Buildings...

i've been logged in world for a good 2 hours now and it seems two of the 5 illusion shops have vanished, along with a lot of furniture. now granted, i realize it might just be some lag in rezzing as everything just will NOT rez for me.

i guess i'm wondering if its actually gone or not rezzing. if its gone i need to drop copies fast - it looks horrible and when ariel logs in she's going to freak out - lol.

um i found our furniture - all broken (unlinked etc) and jacked the hell up. plus its not all mine, but it all reads that its mine?

and the buildings were in my trash. why sl gods why?

It seems to me that 1.7 has already caused more problems than any other version number.

OK here goes: On Sunday I bought and placed a 400+ prim sculpture by Starax. Today, after the upgrade - is gone. Poof. Nada. I turn off surface patch etc to check if it sunk - fly to the roof of my sim to check if it suddenly had filled with virtual helium. Nada. Check inventory. Nada. File bug report and IM Concierge. Waiting for response - but:

Had already checked trash... loads of stuff there - have been clearing a bit today. Plus the usual "Object"s in there........... I'm a stubborn git. So I start pulling everything from there. Even stuff named right lol.

One "Object" comes out............... as a broken, unlinked mess - consisting of no less than 1458 prims.Damn near crashed my client just rezzing the pile. PARTS of the statue... which I KNOW I never deleted - mixed up with jumpled up parts of things I deleted today during the day...

Also... the fun doesn't stop here... at coordinates 0.0 SW corner of sim, I earlier on deleted something I *thought* was prims misplaced in a clumsy moment... I always hunt such prims down - but hey, no one is infallible. So I delete. 298 prims it said. Odd. A lot of prims to misplace... And I delete. And I delete. Wont go away. So I relog. And presto, its gone. Ghosting, I think.

Now, I fly past and particles down there catch my eye. Huh? So I check. Particle halos I use for lights and ATM's. In the other end of sim. These are at 0,0. This time nothing to select - so they are still there..... oh and as I post this, some of the halos have now changed to waterfall mist. This is getting spooky.

Is my sim disintegrating before my eyes????????????

For the record I just spent *7 weeks* building and preparing the sim for opening......... I will *not* endure if it all just falls apart.........

Anyone else with these problems??????

The sim corner phenomenon I think is a result of the fact that sims literally piece themselves together prim by prim from those coordinates. If you get back into SL after a crash or something you can sometimes watch the pieces zip across the sim into place (kinda like the wierd effect you get when you attach stuff these days). When I owned a sim, I often found that there was a bunch of crap seemingly left over at 0,0. In fact they were ghosts, because on the occasions I spotted a very obvious and unique piece, I'd go check out of sheer paranoia and the real thing would be there.

This continued past the supposed fixes on ghosting, so I don't have any reason to think it's any different these days, even though I haven't owned a sim for months.
