Just upgraded to Views 7.x-3.4. Many of my previously-working Views have now disappeared. This is similar to http://drupal.org/node/1742942 except I am not getting any error message. The title and pagers seem to work okay (these are Views in tables), but the actual tables are gone. When I go into Structure>Views, everything shows up fine on the page preview. I re-installed to make sure that wasn't it. Still having the problem. I'm changing slight things on the disappeared Views and re-saving them, but that doesn't help. Still working on this. You don't know how much you depend on Views until it's gone.

Some people are saying the upgrade unchecked the operators on their filters, and once they re-checked them manually, everything was okay: http://drupal.org/node/1743064

That wasn't my problem. The operators are still checked. After trying all I knew to do, I had to revert to version 7.x-3.3 to get my site back running again, found here: http://drupal.org/node/1451068

Makes me appreciate Views even more when it's gone for a couple of hours. My whole site goes down. Thanks guys, for all your hard work! I'll be waiting to see if maybe some tweak needs to happen to 7.x-3.4 to resolve this.

what did you do to downgrade? i dont have a backup so i dont want to try and downgrade and break anything even more.

Smooth as silk. Just downgrade same as you upgrade. For safety, I actually disabled Views under the Modules page and cleared the cache before replacing the code. There are no yoursite.com/upgrade.php updates that need to run for Views, but you can do it just out of good habit if you want. Then, I re-enabled the Views module, cleared the cache, and my site is back! I'm guessing they'll need to make some change to the new 7.x-3.4 upgrade since so many of us seem to be having problems with it.

I was getting White pages of death with PHP errors of:

General error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away

Had to downgrade back to 7.x-3.3 and its fine again now.

Regarding php errors, please always add them to display and show the in the issue. Without that
this information is pretty pointless.

Regarding the missing/failing views, please also export the view, maybe it is actually easier to figure out based on that
information what is going on wrong.

People asked for a release all the time but at the same time if you change things you can never be sure everything is
still working.

At the same time people don't test before doing an update, i fear there is no good solution for all of that.

alexp999 please file a new issue. What you are experiencing is different from this other problem. Thanks.
