Log-in at "Last Location" or "Home" fails ("location not available" - but Sim is up)
complete
Zada Bury
Since around 1.5 weeks (22th/23th July, I would say), I become moved (after logging out on "my" Sim) on the log-in to various SafeHubs.
This happens if I log in at the Sim, I was on at logout ... same as if I I try log in "at Home".
It happening to me 100% on "Demelo" (RC LeTigre, Mainland, Full Region) ...
... if I log-out/in on "Fishergate" (RC Magnum, Mainland, Full Region) it happens rare, maybe 25% ...
... doing it on "Podyan" ("Second Life Server 2026-07-10.29122504250", Mainland, Homestead) it nearly never happens.
"location not available" usual meaning, the Sim is down or overfilled or have other troubles. But the Sim is online and "normal" working ... people (and also my Bot/scripted Agent) are on it.
If I try then from the SafeHub a Teleport-Home, it average fails.
Doing a TP to one of the Sims around, it mostly gone right ... and I can walk over the Sim-border with no problems.
Also doing first a TP to "somewhere" ... and then TPing to Home ... works ("as usual/typical").
The "log in"-problem is happening also to other people ... (where some complaining then also "why them are not allowed ...", as them think, they being banned).
Also the Teleports are sometimes need very long time.
Some people reporting, them was need multiple times to finally TP successfully ... (and sadly not all have that patience).
After the "Rolling Restarts" last week (29th July ?), the Sim seems to was show the "Failed to grant capabilities"-error or so ...
... and someone was request a restart at the support ... and for "1 day" the log-in fail was gone (then it came back).
As a little side-note:
The mobile Viewer becomes redirected to the "Campwich Forest"-Sim ... this seems to be a "mobile Hotspot" and not a SafeHub ... and it is "Moderate"-rated only, not "adult".-rated, as "Demelo", which can cause problems about the appearance on an other rating.

Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like the region crossing behavior is back to normal levels with the update to the 2026-08-03.30838755483 server.

It seems (so far) that after the hot-fix that was deployed during this week's region maintenance, the issues have subsided. Let's hope they stay that way... this was an annoying one. Thanks!

Short: Looks good.
Long:
I was try with a test-account on Demelo (that was already somehow been fixed "just after" I was created the Feedback) ... we recognized VERY fast TPs in and logins today.
Fishergate (the Sim which was the last week along was cause the problem) I was try 3 time, no problems.
Poydan (Mainland-Homestead region) was also cause no problems.
Additional I was avatar-fly in circle over the edges of Poiyan, Nelsonia (SafeHub, but pretty empty today), Fishergate and Demelo. Very fast, near not delay. But ... the Test-account have only 5% of the inventory, than my main.

Tomorrow, after all Sims should reach the new version, I would then do an other test-drive along the road (the one, where I was have the "hickups" at the crossings between 3 Sim and where I was add in the closed case a Video-link).
BTW: How well (or not) the Sim-crossings and other stuff working, you can also see for free each weekend at various live streams, too.

Zada Bury: Thanks for trying out crossings today. While I wouldn't anticipate region crossings to be 100% reliable with the latest update, they should work about as reliably as they did about a month ago, before the bug you were hitting surfaced. The nature of the update is was to revert the fix for a different bug, which unfortunately caused the failures you reported in this issue.

Now I finally completed a "Test Driving".
Sim-crossings "general" pretty stable (still little hickups, but "to handle") ...
... but there is still some "Beef" at Foley (as I was mention at the other, closed Feedback).
I was try with 3 different vehicles ... (same creator), but it was precious create an "weird entry".
I may think, it is something network-related, maybe the connection the user get in ... and then be handled inside the Sim-network.

As of this morning (August 5), the fix is now deployed grid-wide, with the exception of the test regions on the 'Luau' channel. Are you able to login (or cross, or TP) into the affected regions reliable now?

Maestro Linden So far seems good but like previously it always seems good at first after a region gets restarted then crash and burns later on. I'll post here again if I start seeing issues but after yesterday and todays restarts its looking good so far.

Hi guys, we have a simulator update happening this week which should hopefully alleviate viewer-region connection issues, including initial login to sim, teleports, and region crossings:
It was deployed to the "Second Life Server" channel today (August 4) and is planned to go to the RC channels tomorrow (August 5).

Controls either lost or heavily delayed when crossing regions
Light Snacc
Many residents, myself included are currently unable to cross regions for long before reaching a point in which controls are completely lost on vehicles. The vehicle will not re-take controls until either 5-10 seconds passes, or worst case you will reach the other sim border and SL will crash. You can't TP away as a workaround, as this causes you to timeout and crash.
The experience is significantly degraded from previous experiences with Second Life region crossing.

Happened to me all over the weekend. Very annoying, especially when you logged out at a nude beach!

Ok, written in a comment ...
"just after the Feedback", the "Demelo"-Sim was start behave normal ... but as I loggend then outside ... I found out, it is now the Sim to the east, https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fishergate/12/90/28 .
Same behaviors (2026-08-03/17:32).
I created a video (but for me it's 2:32am now) ...
.. but I forgotten, where on Mac the Protocol-Logs are from the Firestorm-viewer

Velinoza Region - Can't Teleport or Log on Into
Aimee Sellers
The Mainland Region Velinoza cannot be teleported into, nor can you log into the region when logging onto second life. Even teleporting to a nearby sim and walking over the border can cause a crash. This has also been reported to me by multiple residents who visit this region. PLEASE RESTART REGION - CANNOT ACCESS LAND I AM PAYING FOR.

And it seems to be intermittent.
