Chat failing to initiate
tracked
Tinker Pixels
Both group chat and IM failing to initiate. I mostly experience it in Firestorm Social Island (simhost-0be97bd680c67540a.agni), as do the rest of the team.
Starting an IM with someone else will work most of the time and every once in a while end up with a popup stating "Unable to start a new chat session with Username. The session initialization is timed out".
Group chats will either fail silently or give the following message inline:
"Second Life: You are the only participant in this IM session. Your message is not being broadcast at this ti2me."
Tested on Second Life Release 26.1.1.23806384790, Alchemy Beta 7.1.9.2516 and Firestorm 7.2.3.80036.

Happened again just now as a friend of mine was trying to send ME and IM. I had to relog to correct it.

I'm also unable to IM most people, not even my own partner.
I get "Unable to start a new chat session with (insertnamehere) The session initialization is timed out" on 49/50 people IMing me. This directly prevents me from doing my job due to being unable to respond to people trying to request specific things

I'm unable to IM most people and have been unable for over 7 days now. This directly impacts my work due to being unable to respond to customers and guests

Lately I haven't been able to send messages on SL because the same message keeps appearing. And now I can't receive anything from groups, even though I'm part of at least two RP groups.

I have this issue too now, sometimes relog help. Its very annoying tho. When it starts only people I already message before I can message, any new chat fails. And while that is going on I noticed I cant pull any image from NC, I can view it but cant copy it in my inv. idk is it related.
