Please provide any additional information below.

i notice whenever i explore an area and I "activated" that area, my client freezes for about 2-5 seconds, when i turn worldexplorer off it doesnt do it.

I turned off the feature that zygor guides has which the addon claims needs to be off.
only other map addon I'm using would be tomtom,everyquest with the quest point addon... but it was doing it before i had everyquest.

Anyways, please look into fixing it as it sucks a LOT whenever your exploring a little low in level on higher lvl zones and you think your gonna die due to the client freeze...

after its been explored that "spot" (not zone) it freezes until the drawing of the block has disappeared completely of that "spot"

dunno if this helps but please fix ;o

    OK thanks. Thought this had gone away! I don't have a full US account BUT do have a trial and I'm sure the same problem will occur BUT I also don't have a MAC (donated macs accepted! ;) LOL) I couldn't replicate this issue (hence it's still here) but maybe it's a mac thing (I though I had it for a bit but then it turned out to be just a bad memory thing on my PC)... I would love to get some help with it over the weekend if you are interested? If so give me a PM with your server and toon name and when you will be on and I will create a temp toon on there and we can work though some tests. :)

    If we get to the bottom of this issue you SOOO get the right to have anything added to any of my addons or priority bug fix or even any small addon you want making! These temperamental issues really bug me!

    Regards,

    Zas

    have found same issues as original poster. Lots of addons installed, slowdown (up to 3 seconds, at times, always related to any kind of progress (i.e. daily quest progress or grisly items collection or new area explored). am playing on a Mac, pls do let me know if you need other information. thanks for the awesome addon!

    hehe thanks Zas, aye the ones erroring I reported to their creators and a few required me to implement custom fixs on my own in order to solve the issue.

    I have just released V2.0.18 BETA that should solve the error message and I will keep working on the slowdown issue when I have time... Hopefully later today or tomorrow. :)

    OK with all your AddOns running AND the main map open I get 1.6+ seconds! Thats fine will keep working on it!

    @ alpha13372: Don't worry about sending the WTF I'm good now! :)

    I have managed to get the slowdown to occure on my PC but only for upto 0.5 seconds at most... BUT I will have a look to see if I can spread the work out to prevent the slowdown... Also it apears to be MUCH slower if the main map is open when you find it... (carbonite's map doesn't seem to slow it down). Will look into that to... :)

    OK established and fixed the error message and MAY have replicated the problem with slowdown problem with all your addons running (although lots of them are erroring! :p)

    Will hold off posting an update until after I have spent some more time with the slowdown problem. Hopefully I can post the update for both together! ;)

    Zas

    P.S. Encase you are interested the problem is that the starting area for the DK's is an instance and doesn't give a Continent or Zone number... I would suspect anyone using WorldExplorer in dungeons would also get this error! :o This will fix it for everyone who gets it...

    Thanks it's nice to get a decent bug report! :)

    We may yet be able to fix this! ;)

    You said "negative, no "freeze" slow downs, dunno if its doing it or what though... I just notice that it doesn't happen with this addon disabled. but does when it is enabled." so I guess you mean:

    • It only happens when WorldExplorer is enabled. (Disabling it stops the slow downs)
    • It STOPS when WorldExplorer is enabled AND your other AddOns are enabled

    If this is true it SOUNDS like a conflict between WorldExplorer and 1 or more other AddOns. That list will help and I will see if downloading all those AddOns causes your problem. Its nice to know you have a good connection and a great PC as I was worried that it WAS happening to me but my good PC was making it so small I didn't notice. :) One more thing to rull out!

    I don't know how you would feel about this but encase it is a AddOn config thing I would LIKE to get a copy of your WTF folder... I do understand if you don't want this as it could have personal info like your character, friends characters etc... It WILL NOT however have your login details so I can NOT steal your account (which I wouldn't do anyway!). I do promise to only use it to fix THIS problem and then delete it. If it is a setting thing this will greatly speed up the problem solving process but if you where to continue to reply and try stuff I think we will be able to solve the problem without it (it will just take more time especialy yours).

    But I would understand if you didn't want to send it. :)

    You will find my email to send it to in my profile. :)

    Regards,

    Zas

    negative, no "freeze" slow downs, dunno if its doing it or what though... I just notice that it doesn't happen with this addon disabled. but does when it is enabled.

    if the link doesn't work here is a text version of the link: http://i51.tinypic.com/2mwxch1.jpg

    way to many to type out. but I use all of those except:

    amfg13bar buffUptime KeybindViewer LunarSphereImports ScoreMe UnitFrameTweaks WhichRankDoesWhat XToLevel XLoot1.0

    I run NRC which is (Noob Report Card)

    my fps is 110 with all those addons with max detail settings of game enabled. my latency is 43-63 no required port is blocked (stating this so it wont be thought of as a blocked port)

    Hi looks like the error has to do with area translation... What language are you using?

    Also to do with the slowdowns can you tell me if this still happens with ALL other addons disabled?

    This has been reported before but I can't replicate it so can't fix it without your help! :)

    Also can you tell me what other addon's you normally run (ALL of them).

    Finally are you using windows or Mac etc? I'm clutching at straws! ;)

    Thanks

    Zas
