    Re: This might have been in anYeah, lots of addons have this problem with the InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory() function.I just noticed that a patch for it is now availible at:https://github.com/aleksandyr/AddOns/blob/master/!BlizzBugsSuck/BlizzBugsSuck.luaI am thinking of reccomending that folks use this addon, so I don’t have to duplicate the code.

    This might have been in anThis might have been in an older version, but noticing it with this newer version, so here goes…When I right click on the Guild window, and select Guide List or Current Guide, the first time I do it, instead of loading those respective parts, it loads the Interface > Game window, rather than the Addon details.  If I try a second time (and everytime thereafter) it correctly loads the requested menu entry.  If I /reload ui it again for the first attempt loads the Interface > Game window instead of the Guide List/Current Guide selected.

    test done, looks goodThere is 1 thing I can’t test anymore because I had redownloaded old version again so I could advace in leveling. So normal chanhe frol four winds zone to the next was not possible anymore. What did I test?I downloaded posted version (did not copy in recorder map) and started up wow. All did look fine but there were 2 error mesages in chat about wrong coords I thing too a outher guide but I am not sure. if needed I will copy thos to here.Played a few quests and when I had to find a item tomtom arow was gone. I think that guide did not have coords for that. Afther some searching I found item in a cave and turning in quest gave tomtom arow back.Also loaded some outher guides (with succes) and then loaded last zone again. Checked (got to) steps off till back in current zone (what did froze wow before) but all did go well.Not 100% sure but I think bug is gone so felicitations are in order and big tanks form me :-p

    re:testHeya, When I installed the package up entering the game it would give me a message in chat similar to this: (paraphrasing) “Wow Pro is waiting for Carbonite or TomTom to init” and it would spam this many time on my chat screen. I did a /reload and it would say this message a couple times then say “If you have carbonite be sure to enable the TomTom emulation” and then bring up another message that looked like an error type message (my apologies I dont have that error message). I do have carbonite and i do have that feature enabled but it wont track the quests waypoints. This version did work with MoP and didnt crash like 2.6.1 and previous. It did however crash my game when I was doing the siege tank quest in Uldum. I would click to get in the siege tank (the part of the quest where the goblin drives you around and you shoot the huge titan looking mobs), the sequence would start and just as i’m jumping in the tank it would freeze and crash to login screen. hope this helps and thank you for vigorously trying to get us up and running.

    Re: testing tomorrowJust try what used to break for you.Testing on Horde is more valuable.  Turns out that most of the troublesome guides were horde specific and higher level.My highest level Hordie is just 66, which is why I did not see the problem initially.

    Testing – FeedbackHello again :)I can now confirm the addon loads for my rogue (90) without any problems or crashes. The problem I was having with my warrior (90) that the addon did not recognize the quests I accepted is also over and I started lvling  my priest (now 87) following the addon as well with no problems :)Everything seems to be working correctly with the test version 🙂 Thank you very much! If you have any further questions, let me know. Fernanda

    TestingI have 4 lvl 90 characters and 7 85s. For some reason only my rogue (90) had the wow crash error. All the others are loading properly without crashes. I just lvled my warrior to 90 and the only problem I had with the guide was that it was not recognizing when I accepted quests, only when I turned them in, the step would be checked off. It made it dificult to lvl since I was not privy to the steps needed to complete quests but it was still possible to use.I just downloaded the test version. I will try to load on my rogue and warrior plus lvl another one of my characters. Will let you know how it goes!Thanks so much for your guides. They are proceless for an altoholic like me :)Fernanda

    Here’s what I’ve got (RE: What I need to know…) Are you running a Mac or a PC?  PC (Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with 4GB RAM, i5-2400S processor, nVidia GeForce GT 640 1GB video card, and a 1TB hard drive) What Language are you playing in? What is your realm?  English / Primarily US-Sentinels, US-Scryers, and US-Gorgonnash Does the game stop/hang:
    While loading the game, but before showing the world – No While showing the world, but before giving the toon control – Only if MoP leveling zone was in progress before upgrading WoW-Pro from version 2.5.0 to 2.6.0, 2.6.0a, OR 2.6.1 After giving the toon control, but after performing some action with the addon – When attempting to load any MoP leveling zone (every zone in Pandaria AND The Wandering Isle) Does the Addon hang (i.e. other stuff works, except the addon is stuck)
    After some time while having done nothing? – Nope After you did something? – Addon does not advance as normal once you complete any quest in Grizzly Hills while the Grizzly Hills leveling guide is loaded. After something happens to you? – See aboveI have tested leveling, profession leveling, world events, achievements, and dailies on my PC.  If I attempt anything stated in Question 3 (B or C), the game freezes.  The sounds continue as normal, though.  I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up Windows Task Manager, which shows WoW as “Not Responding”, and both the WTM status and my WoW screen will stay that way indefinitely, even if the game has actually kicked me to login for inactivity.  I have to “End Process” in order to quit WoW when it locks like that.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t give a crash report, nor does it give any information about addon crashing.  I don’t know anything about lua stack tracing, so I’m not much help there.I CAN tell you that version 2.5.0 works just fine for me in every zone, while any version beyond 2.5.0 only works when being used for non-MoP zones. Does the game itself crash? Do you have a crash report? – See above Do you get an addon crash? Do you have a lua stack trace? – See aboveI hope that this information helps you, Lud.  If you have any other questions, lemme know. – Hydona

    problems/description/debug msgLast weekend i played using the add-on with no issues with the current guide (Dragonblight), today i’m having issues. Issues are: i get a debug message upon entry to the world and when i try to continue where i left off from last weekend the guide itself freezes and doesnt move forward even if i left/right click to move on. Have tried the current version (2.6.1) and tried reverting back to previous version (2.6.0a) that i had. Will answer your above message at the end after the debug message.

    Pandaria-related guides lock up WoWAny time I attempted to play in either Pandaria or The Wandering Isles, or if I attempted to change guides to any Pandaria zone, it caused WoW to stop responding.  I tested this multiple times between several toons, from 1 toon that was already questing in The Jade Forest, 1 toon that I was attempting to quest my way off of The Wandering Isle, and several toons that I attempted to change the guide over to literally EVERY Pandaria leveling guide.  I never attempted to do the reputation guides in versions 2.6.0 or higher, so I’m not sure what the reaction could have been for any of them.  I know that I had to roll-back my WoW-Pro all the way to 2.5.0 (for WoW version 5.2) before the freezing would stop occuring.  I don’t know if that helps.On a lighter note, I LOVE your guides and have been religiously recommending it to every WoW-playing friend that I have.  Your guide helped me get the Loremaster title and get enough money just from questing in the lower zones (BC and Wrath) that I was able to finally purchase the parts for the Mechano-Hog AND the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth, plus your guides helped me get exalted with enough factions (and get enough money together) to get myself to 112 mounts.  I’m now working on getting a few of the harder titles (primarily ‘the Exalted’ and ‘the Insane’).  Thank you for all of the hard work that you do.

    Update: Good news, bad newsOK, I think I am getting closer.   There seems to be a memory allocation problem:  basically the larger the guide, the bigger the chance that it will  lock up the game.   Technically, there is nothing wrong with what the addon is doing, but I think that the bug should result in random lockups in other addons or the Blizzard UI as well.  But, I may have a way of working around it by changing the memory allocation patterns to work around the WoW bugs.I need to clean up the code I am playing with and then I will check it in for volunteers to try.  I am now able to play my baby panda with no problems, other than tons of debug messages.

    While I am one of the fewWhile I am one of the few lucky people who don’t have any of the problems that have been reported recently, I still can see how these would be really annoying and just would like to express my appreciation for all the hard work you have been putting into the addon lately.

    What you need to know – Response
    Are you running a Mac or a PC?  – PC
    What Language are you playing in? What is your realm?  – English
    Does the game stop/hang:

    While loading the game, but before showing the world   – Yes on some toons
    While showing the world, but before giving the toon control
    After giving the toon control, but after performing some action with the addon  – Yes on most toons selecting new guides
    Does the Addon hang (i.e. other stuff works, except the addon is stuck)

    After some time while having done nothing?   – No can run for hours if I do nothing with the guides
    After you did something?   – Yes after picking new guides from the list
    After something happens to you?
    I have tested both leveling, world events, and dailies on both my Mac and PC. The only hang condition I can reproduce is after creating a new Panda from scracth, but I can get that hang to occur without any addons at all!
    I think our addon is tickling a bug in the Game itself.
    But I need more information.
    Does the game itself crash? Do you have a crash report?  – No it jsut accesses the drive (longest wait was 30mins) until I ALT-F4 it or restart the system. No error reports are generated.
    Do you get an addon crash? Do you have a lua stack trace?  – No

    Good news, bad newsWell, I have now managed to reproduce a variety of problems that account for the range of problems people are seeing.The addons are no longer initializing in order, in particular, the leveling addon is initializing at the same time the base addon is doing its thing.  This race condition results in a crippled addon or strange crashes.Blizzard changed the order of events happening relative to the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD event.Delaying the initialization of the addon by 10 seconds after the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD does not fix things.Moving LoadGuide to a separated event does not cure the problem.Blocking all UpdateGuide() calls does not fix things.So now I am looking closer at the LoadGuide() function.  Something in there is making the client sick.  Stay tuned.

    Hanging.I play on a PC with windows7 x64 ultimate.Problems at least relating to your addon; The game stops responding when I try to load different guides on various horde toons. Have yet to experience it on my alliance toons.I tried to load the leveling guides for horde on my lvl 16 troll rogue, but they seem broken as they woun’t load, just gets highlighted (all of them). I then tried to load the exploration guides, managed to load a few and then the game stopped responding. Had to “kill” it.But it may also be something with the game exe as I get frequent game crashes when either reloading, logging out or exiting.

    Guide HangAre you running a Mac or a PC? A PC laptop with Windows 8Does the game stop/hang: I was on my Horde toon doing August Celestial dailies at the Temple of the Jade Serpent. I finished the AC guide, closed it completely (hit the LDB launcher to close WOWPro) and then after a bit decided I would open the Jade Forest guide to see if I could find some more August rep. I hit the LBD launcher to open WOWPro again, then navigated to the Jade Forest guide and clicked it. My game froze completely, except for the sound track. I waited for a bit, the did alt+ctrl+delete to get to the task manager, and I couldn’t interact with that or anything else.Does the Addon hang (i.e. other stuff works, except the addon is stuck) It seems to freeze my entire computer.After some time while having done nothing? Nothing changesAfter you did something? Nothing changes until I shut my PC downAfter something happens to you? N/AI have tested both leveling, world events, and dailies on both my Mac and PC. The only hang condition I can reproduce is after creating a new Panda from scracth, but I can get that hang to occur without any addons at all!I think our addon is tickling a bug in the Game itself.But I need more information.Does the game itself crash?

No LUA errorsI really like this addon, thanks to all who work on it-it has really helped me through the game!
