While doing rated BGs today, I started getting random LUA errors that look like below. It causes the timers for PvP mods to eventually become corrupt and not always appear. I have to reload UI while in the BG in order to correct the problem.

Not sure which module it's specifically related to but my Core version is 9.0.19-30-g74e6e8c and DBT.lua has a modified date of 2/5 5:58 PM CST.

Keep getting that too on every single BG. The first one works fine, after that only a /reload inside the subsequent BGs will make it stop appearing until the next one.

Edit: Happens on all BGs with timers, normal or rated.

Please post a full list of all your addons

Also make sure you are running r116 of PvP.

My addon list below. Last occurrence of the error was 2/18 which would have been the night I did rated BGs with the guild. Didn't get any in randoms since r116 two days ago but those were only epic BGs.

See if the latest alpha of dbm-pvp fixes this exact issue.

@QartemisT, I've updated to the latest alpha.
Hit this bug again in Battle of Gilneas, in my experience, it happens there the most, maybe in every other match or 1/3.
Got the first error when timer for mines should have appeared:

After that it only got worse, more errors and timers overlaid on top of each other. Attaching other 2 errors that appeared later but not sure they'll be of any help without the root cause.

Just want to respond that this isn't being ignored. there is a test branch that's in progress https://github.com/DeadlyBossMods/DeadlyBossMods/tree/dbt to address this and other stuff. updating some old code to better code so whatever blizz changed to cause these issues to start happening, stops happening with more robust codebase.

it's not ready for primetime use yet but experienced coders/debuggers can run it and give feedback here #519

Pushed DBT rewrite ahead of schedule. it has some quirks but it should in theory solve all of these issues. in current alpha, for testing.

Closing this issue in favor of #519, where we will keep track of all future DBT issues and updates.
