During our beta testing of 4.4.1 we were also collaborating with LL to help them load-test the Server Side Appearance code while on Firestorm. In order to accomplish this testing we had to enable special data logging which sends quite a bit of additional information to the LL servers as well as user logs for LL to analyze. Unfortunately turning this extra logging off for the release build was overlooked and did not happen. While there is no noticeable impact to you, less than an hour ago we were informed that our release of 4.4.1 was “crushing” the LL statistics servers. Suddenly we now find ourselves having to take some emergency steps to correct this issue.
We have to remove 4.4.1 from our downloads NOW and will have a 4.4.2 out to you no later than tomorrow but possibly within the current day. The only change in 4.4.2 will be the removal of the additional data logging.
As long as there are users on 4.4.1, the LL servers will continue to be inundated. The only solution to this is for us to block 4.4.1 from logging into SL as soon as 4.4.2 is available. You can expect to get a message when you try to log into 4.4.1 stating it has been blocked, why and where to download the update.
NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO DOWNGRADE TO 4.4.0. You do not have to do ANYTHING until 4.4.2 is available.
