Second Life Viewer Alert - Nov 10
Just a note to let you know that there is currently an issue with AT LEAST Firestorm 2 and 3 and the new Windows and Mac updates of last evening. After five hours of continuous crashes and viewer not responding (both black and white screens and freezes) I went back to my old 1.x Imprudence to see if it was "me" or not :D. Imprudence worked much better (only one crash and just the type we are used to). I talked to the Phoenix group to find others with the same issue. Odd that both MAC and Windows would update something that causes this problem. Singularity apparently works OK too.
So not much work for me today as I try to remedy the problem. Going to try a couple of other viewers and see if the issue persists. If anyone has found a Viewer 2 or 3 that is not affected, please respond to this post.
Cheers.
UPDATE: Kirstens S21 (build 5 was tested) works fine.
Linden Lab Viewer 3 Beta (not apparently the one that fixes the antialias - shadow issue with ATI cards) works fine also.
Apparently a Firestorm (and perhaps other viewers) are the ones affected by this issue.
*********************************************
Update November 21: Since folks seem to still be reading this I decided I should update again. I am now on Firestorm 3 and it is working fine for me. I just did a very long teleport list with no issues. So it seems like the problems were just with Viewer 2 in Firestorm (and perhaps the official release).

I used to have my autoupdate turned off but was assured that this sort of thing didn't happen any longer :D. Oh well. Things were just running TOO smoothly for many months. I'll cope, hopefully it will get fixed soon.
