Problems uploading textures

Post by Ariana Monaron »

Hello everyone, for the past two days I have been having problems uploading textures inworld, I can upload them one by one but when I try to bulk upload i get an error message saying "the server is experiencing unexpected difficulties. Please try again later".

Anyone has any ideas on what the issue might be?

Thank you

The problem is almost certainly caused by network problems. When the viewer bulk-uploads textures, it uploads them all at once, unfortunately (instead of one by one). If there are many textures, or if the network is busy at the time, then this raises the likelihood of a failure. So uploading fewer textures at a time is more likely to succeed.

I just tried to upload 6 textures at once, using Firestorm, and it worked fine. But again, success depends on the overall network situation which is different for each user and each time of day.

How many textures are you trying to upload at once, and which viewer are you using?

Hi, thank you for your reply, Iwas trying to upload 12 at the time using firestorm, I was doing that for the last week or so, it's just yesterday that it started doing this. Now I can't even upload 2 at the time. I have no problem uploading in SL, that makes me think it's not my network connection's fault. Also I tried uploading with Imprudence but I get the same error.
