There needs to be a way I can disconnect my region from OSgrid and connect to it locally so that I can still build when the grid is offline.

You could make a stand alone and keep a frequent oar backup in your computer. So if there's an outage you can keep going in your standalone, and when it's back up on line save the standalone oar and upload it to your sim in OSG
At least that's what I would do.

Loading those OARs hammer the servers even more... Might be better to save the offline assets as IAR (coordinates to a note or XML) to save upload bandwidth.

Right now any IAR save will contain blank/missing textures and notecards though. It's saving a failed IAR. (if you download assets, with the -noassets flag it may work but only as reference and not backup)

Saving the IAR would be from the standalone instance for uploading to OSgrid at a later time... I should have clarified that.

Unfortunately since the osgrid asset server is missing assets we can't save a proper OAR

Sat, you can actually. Remember that in my first post I said that the assets affected are the ones in the inventory, the sim's assets are ok. They're two different pipelines and the sim pipeline is unaffected so oar works fine.

Yup! You can't do much about old assets in the inventory (they'll be back eventually) but at least you can build and store things in your sim and backup them without issues.

Sadly it happened last weekend too, but that's pretty much it, we haven't had so many outages.
They feel frequent indeed.

No Thomas, you won't be able to enter at all until the grid is up, if they allow log ins in the process of sync not only it would delay the readyness of the whole process but it also would jeopardize the integrity of your data. So wait a bit more is a small price to pay.

No news for now, nodes are still syncing, I need to RL for a couple of hours so if you want to check the grid status go to https://www.osgrid.org/infos_grid_result.php.

See you in a couple of hours!

Guys, while the servers are resyncing let me advise something important:
Don't stop / quit your sims, the sims will spew errors and that's natural but they won't break while the grid is off line.
However starting or stopping a lot of sims as soon as the grid becomes available taxes the grid a LOT, to the point it may go down again, so everything to lose and nothing to gain.
So in cases like this just keep the sims running, they will be there ready to welcome you when the grid is back up.
