Lag/Freezing
cz016m opened this issue · 27 comments
After the most recent WoW patch 9.1.5, I've noticed some in game lagging/freezing issues when GearHelper is enabled. When I disable GearHelper, the lag/freezing goes away immediately. This hasn't happened before. It happens consistently after the recent 9.1.5 patch. Curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue. It's making it so that I can't use GearHelper, which is one of my favorite addons.
I just released a new version, that I hope will resolve the lags/freezes. Let me know if it's fix or not :)
@MarshallBuhl, I tried with few shields and / or off hands items, and I am not able to reproduct issue. I don't have any error while hovering this kind of items
Hi to all,
I been finding it lags after a little while if and when the mouse pointer moves over the spells icons on my bars or any windows with gear eg auction house. or trying when reading information on item or spell. disabling the addon seems to fix all the lag and reload ui fix it for a while then it come back
Dose the same if run the addon it self with no other addons just blizzard ones
Love the addon
Ok, with this new information, I would say that the issue is related with tooltips and / or weight computation. I will look forward this direction to find a solution.
Thank you for your feedbacks
I had a series of terrible lag events today where my system essentially froze for about a minute before getting this:

I just realized that the error I mentioned above is associated with hovering over a shield. This used to be a constant problem for a long time, but seemed to have been fixed until now.
Hey,
First of all, thank you for your feedback.
Do you have a precise moment where the game start lagging, or it's as soon as WoW launch ?
Can you try to use /gh resetcache and tell me if anything is better ?
As far as I try, I do not have any lag or freeze. I'll have to investigate more te sue which fonction can cause this issue.
Once again, thank you for your feedbacks, it helps us to improve GearHelper :)
I, too, have had this problem, but didn't know it might be related to GH until reading this issue. The lag gradually gets worse as I play--usually after an hour or so. I have NOT tried disabling GH to see if that solves it. I've been /EXITing the game and restarting it to clear the lag That gives me another hour or two of lag-free playing. The lag sometimes happens at the very worst time and I have died in The Maw many times because of it.. I wondered if it might be a memory leak in WoW, but Task Manager indicates I still have plenty of free RAM.
I have entered "/gh resetcache" and will play for a while to see if it fixes the problem.
Hello, I tried the /gh resetcache but it didn't resolve the lag issue. It happens any time I'm using the addon. It always happens. I love the addon, but I feel like it's ambitious and trying to do too much work and it is causing significant game lag in my powerful gaming system. To that end, I have disabled the addon because the lag is nearly unbearable.
Hey, can you try usine this command ?
/gh benchmarkCountResult
When it starts lagging, it will print a bunch of functions, and how many times there are called. It tell me what are functions the most used, to see what could cause this lags
I tried the "/gh benchmarkCountResult", but was told I had to enable benchmarking with "/gh benchmark". I did and I got one message immediately, but then no more--even when lagging.
I've been suffering with lag while fishing in STV. I had turned off autoloot because I hoped to get multiple Waterlogged Journals. Clicking on the catches and the items in the trunks was very laggy.
I disabled GH and did a "/reload" and my lag problems disappeared immediately.
It didn't lag immediately while fishing. It started happening after I had been fishing for Weather-Beaten Journals for a while (maybe 0.5-1 hours).
I don't think the lag is related to your in-game activity. It happens to me regardless of what I'm doing, even standing still.

I don't really get why you get this error when you enable or disable GH, but it seems to be caused by Wholly and not GH
New data. When I enable or disable GH, I get the following error when my UI reloads:

According to Wholly's web site:
"Wholly is a complete visualization of the Grail quest database addon as it relates to the player. It shows a panel with quests conveniently separated into zones and indicates their status. Quests can be filtered so only those that need to be completed, etc. appear. Wholly also shows pins on the world map for locations where quest givers appear, and the pins are similarly colored based on their status."
OK. This just happened on some bracers (a first for something other than a shield):

The error with the bracers happened only the first time I hovered over them. The shield kept doing it.
The shield issue is back:

OK. Very strange. Not gear was involved when I hovered over a recipe with the Dalaran (Northrend) Alchemy trainer and got this error:
