Having Major Issues with New Update: PLEASE READ

I tried to update my SL with the new update but it's not working correctly and now it's not even letting me log on at all because certain files couldn't be found or something. I keep trying to go back and try again but the same thing is happening. I don't know what's going on but if someone does can you help??

I am experiencing the very same problem, all I can say is...'We are not alone' !!!

I'm having similar troubles. I even tried deleting the program and then reinstall..

When it's nearly done I then get the following error message:



No amount of "Retry" works, so I've tried "Ignore" and get:



And it goes on for a few more. Then when it's done and I try to open SL, it crashes.

I'm running Vista Home Prem.

:0 hey welcome to sl!! ;0 lol but this is 'one of those days'...

in other words, logins are disabled right now, so trying to 'fix' any other prob is kinda moot. :\ sorry, that's not much of a 'welcome!' ;0

it's not as bad as it used to be, promise. ;0 but they had just completed several minor overhauls that i think perhaps added up to one major, and there's something that - glitched up. :\ i'm waiting to log in myself, haven't gotten in today...

check in with the status page, and the forums here to stay in tune.

yeah yeah yeah that's exactly what happened to me!

I'm not new to SL. I've been on it for almost a year now. What I'm saying is that it's crashing before I can even pull up SL. It was an uploading issue.

ah oh, the client update?? ;0 yah, i hear that's a lil' borked too lol... sorry i didn't see that part. i hadn't tried an upload myself yet since the update...

Well FTW, don't try to update it. Now I'm screwed.

Does anyone know how I can inform those in charge of SL of this issue so they may fix it?

Okay.. I got this from a friend and it worked!

Uninstall SL from your computer.

Shut down completely and count to 10. (Not sure why you count, but hey, it worked.)

Boot up computer then go to SL and download again.

It should work this time. It did for me. YAY!!!

** This WON'T let you log in. It will just let you INSTALL the update. **

okay thanks Ill try it and let you know how it goes!

i've been told by a couple of friends that the new release is really bad and that they lag like hell with it, i've just upgraded to the new release but i have a copy of the old 1 if i need to revert back ( when i manage to get online lol)

Great! It worked! Now if only I could log on -.-

/me waits patiently for SL to get back in working order.

Thanks for your help guys!

I downloaded the new viewer and it was total rubbish. It may be the much vaunted holy grial to the Lindens, but where i had a smooth and relatively quick experience, i found i could hardly move, or in fact use the damn thing in any meaningful way. Dont have a copy of the old version so was stuck. In desperation tried downloading the 1.22.11 release candidate viewer, and hey!! works a treat.
im not technically very clever, anything that involves my doing more than downloading something and hitting install baffles me. So i wait in the hope that Linden labs will sort out this rubbish before my subscription runs out. Oh and i cant log in either, just what is it these people are playing at!

Darn, just downloaded and installed the latest viewer. Guess what: I can't log in. What really took my attention is the fact that the log in screen says that I'm trying to log in to the "sl beta test grid". So is what i've downloaded the latest official viewer or did they mix up and did they put the beta-viewer 1.22.11 in the downloadsection?

Similar to the problems I've been having - SL would barely move. Everything was pretty much white and it took forever just to send an IM (to tell why I couldn't work my shift )

Problem is this install must do something different. I have had problems with updates before so I create a restore point before I update. Problem was when I restored and tried to run it says files were missing (during the restore it said files were changed?!). I even uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled the older version, but it works the same I can't move the avatar or do anything hardly at all. It's like SL on dialup. How do I get it back the way it was

I don't know if it helps. But when I uninstall anything on my Vista-32 pc I always run CCleaner to get rid of the last remaining items (in register or folders). It's free, very reliable and you can find it here: http://www.ccleaner.com/

Make sure you run the program as administrator (on Vista) and use the Cleaner (cookies, temp internet pages etc) and Register. Make a backup if you are not sure. I never make a backup, the program is solid for me.

So:

- Uninstall Second Life
- Run CCleaner (Cleaner and Register)
- Restart pc
- Install SL again

Thanks. Actually though I didn't need to. I thought I should try it again first, and it worked (the older version) I have no clue why as I had restarted it before. Who knows but I'm not going to mess with it if it's not broke don't fix it

i have 1.18 vertion saved on my pc but when i used it it said i HAD TO UP DATE !!!

couldnt find any links to older vertions so i did ... it sucks.. lags like a pig takes forever to load when i tp.. i was resnobly happy with my 1.18 on that i also HAD TO UP DATE TO..back then
1.22 some thing im using now

any links to older vertions would be aprciated


well i found older vertions of sl and guess what !!!!!!!

all under the 1.22 what ever demad !!!! i update this sucks sl .. aka who ever runs this company..

the last time i was forced to update i was ready to quit and that was the 1.18 vertion!!!
so you figure out how long ago that was last spring i think.

i have defanatly cut down my REAL MONEY SPENDING IN SL.. because of that !!!

so its gone from over 80 canadian dollers (more like 100 usa) to 25 canadian (closer to 35 usa now) .........keep it up lindins.......and YOULL LOSE THAT TOO !!!!
THATS A MTH LINDYS!!! FOR OVER A YR YOU DO THE MATH !!!

SO YOUVE GONE FROM 100 USA DOLLARS TO 35 WHICH IS CLOSE TO HUMM .... 75% LESS SPENT THERE .........AND SOON TO BE ZERO !!!

its gotten to the point were i have to reboot on TO MANY occations ever 4 min because of lag that is just not worth the CASH .........ILL GO ELSEWERE AND SPEND MY MONEY!!

YOUR LOSE LINDES !!!

Heya everyone,

I've just downloaded the new 'and imporoved' *cough* version of SL and now everytime I try to move an object that contains scripts I crash and burn. I can move basic prims and Im fine its just the scripted objects that cause me trouble.

I dont have the old version of SL to roll back to and Im a builder so this really has got me wound up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thankies x

i have yellow eyelashes and so does everyone else, its quite discerning, i hate the double pie menu to edit av attachments, its like double work, you betcher ass i'm going back to the old one

Hi Belana, if you go to downloads on the website, it still has 1.22 (the old version) up for download, but be sure and take the 1.23 off first, and i saw someone said to run your Crap Cleaner, and remove the registry as well afterwards, and then go and get the older version downloaded back in...hope this helps
