Ha ha nothing serious, but is anyone else having trouble staying in 4.1

I was in there for all of about 20 minutes, now I can't get back in, just
trying to find out if it's Me, the hosting or AW

Any info would be great thanks

The 4.1 universe went down. Not sure when it will be back up.

Thanks Kenneth

Can't say it is a surprise. After all, I am running a 3mb connection and it
took over 1/2 hour to download the program in the first place. The AW
servers must have had a s*it fit

It went BOOM. I was able to get all the files downloaded, over 25mbs for 1
world ;p You can go back, even with the server down, just start the 4.1
browser, SKIP the logon, then teleport to AWGate... then explore what you
had already downloaded.

I think I got about 75% of the world in my cache... I uploaded it to
www.darkestdestiny.com/cache.zip (25Mb download). Just unzip it into your
Active Worlds directory where the cache should be, then follow the
directions in the previous paragraph.

Happy exploring... until the 4.1 uni comes back online. The particle
effects for the waterfall are way cool... and the flowers falling from the
peach tree forest are too cool. The dandilions releasing their seeds into
the air aint half bad either.

Oh, as a caution, DO NOT click on the lawn gnome near GZ! tehehehe

Immigration Officer: Due to the overwhelming response to 4.1, it overloaded
the network routers and we had to shut down the 4.1 universe. The network
service provider will be upgrading the routers tomorrow and we will then
reopen 4.1. We apologize for any inconvenience :-)

lol, yup, I said all along that the AW servers couldn't do it.

They should have rolled it out in sections.

First for the host, (which they did)
Then world owners
then citz
then tourists

not just put it in the immigration and leave it as a free for all.

Oh well, looks like we'll all be waiting till this time tomorrow to get 4.1

This is a good thing really... the stress test of having close to 100 people
simultaneously downloading 25Mb of data in one world should be an indication
that things need to be upgraded.

Does anyone else have cache files from 4.1 in other worlds?

I doubt any other 4.1 worlds have yet to use the features of the new
server/browser.So, even if they did, probably not worth the time to
download.

Hi Marnie

It would seem that you have a dll file missing,

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplus

The above link will allow you to download the gdiplus.dll (for free)
however I don't know where it needs to be copied too, so that may be a bit
of trial and error on your part, but I think it needs to be copied to your
system or system 32 folder within windows.

Perhaps someone else can confirm?

Anyway hope it helps.

Goto www.microsoft.com and do a search for gdiplus.dll and it will give you
a page to download the .net dll files, install it, and all your worries...
at least .dll worries should be done with.

"invalid import from DDRAW.dll and a crash.
