Dear player, 
Thank you very much for contacting us by mail. As the language or region of your email can’t be automatically identified, we have to manually sort through each and every issue then send these on to the relevant GM. 
- If you are able to log in to the game, we recommend you send a message to us in-game via Settings-Account-Help. 
- If you can’t find your account, usually it means you’re using the wrong login method or server. Please confirm you’re using the same login method as before and have selected the correct server.
Please note that even if have bound to your Facebook or Google account, if you are using "Sign In" to login, please login exactly as previously since data is not exchanged between the three different login methods.
Please leave your correct server and character name (if you’re using any special symbols in your name, please ensure you’re continuing to do so) and we’ll check your login method as soon as possible for you to.
Thanks for your support and cooperation!

This is the key log line here. We have reports that certain graphics cards
do not play well at all with our Alex Ivy 64-bit viewer.

The new Viewer Management Process component of Alex Ivy (SL_Launcher) is a
small program that runs first to manage updates and so forth. This is the
VMP trying to optimize your user experience by downloading and installing
the corresponding 32-bit viewer.

Aaaaand here's the thing: you're running a self-built viewer. Our Viewer
Version Manager knows nothing about it and cannot provide the corresponding
32-bit viewer for you.

That's useful information: we should probably refine our graphics
card/driver test to allow running 64-bit Alex Ivy on your configuration.
Please file a Jira with pertinent graphics card/driver information and the
statement that 64-bit Alex Ivy runs well for you?

But in general, please don't hack the shortcut. We've moved all the update
machinery from the viewer executable to the separate SL_Launcher program.
If you directly run SecondLifeProjectAlexIvy.exe, you will not get updates.

There are several useful things about having a whole separate program to
manage updates. The most basic of them is this: SL_Launcher is a 32-bit
program, even in 64-bit viewer installs. Even if a user running 32-bit
Windows downloads a 64-bit installer, s/he can still run SL_Launcher, which
will determine that the 64-bit viewer can't possibly run and will download
and run the corresponding 32-bit installer.

Because there are graphics cards/drivers that apparently don't play well
with 64-bit Alex Ivy, we use that same logic to ensure that users with
those cards/drivers use the 32-bit viewer instead. I'm glad to hear the
test is overly pessimistic in some cases.

All this machinery is still brand-new. We naturally must ensure that
developers can run self-built viewers without undue difficulty. You can
understand, though, that our initial focus has been on end-users.
