Server Version#: Version 1.21.1.3759  
Player Version#: all players (Mobile, Chromecast, Web)

Just updated to the above server version. On Windows Server 2019 Datacenter. Restoring old databases, repairing databases, deleting Cache and Data folder… none have worked. Not sure if affecting all my users, but definitely my main account - no Home screen, Recommended, or Library showing for most sections. Would appreciate if anyone can look through the logs and make some recommendations as to how to fix. Would hate to rebuild the whole database. Lots of content to scrape/restore.

I have the same issue upgrading from 1.21.0 I hoped it wasn’t just me having the issue, but I’m not seeing a lot of reports about it currently. I may downgrade until they get it figured out.

Yup… Unfortunately if I upgrade from 1.21.0.3711 to anything higher than 1.21.1 onwards, I start to notice that the “Recommended…” section of my database becomes corrupt. I have no fix for this at this time, despite skipping a few updates, and am getting frustrated as to what it may be that is causing this. Any ideas from anyone would help!
