Not proven GSE bug

So, this is just conjecture at this time, but I and others have been having macro "lock-ups" intermittently. The macro would just "stop" firing the sequence.

In my case, it always seemed to happen in Dungeons, so I thought that Blizz did something in last patch but after working with a target dummy, I had the lock up and was able to clear it by going manually, in this case I just pressed one of my none macro keys (Slice and Dice, i think it was) and the macro started working again.

I experienced this in Dungeons with other macros, and again, I started to do the rotation manually and the macro started working again.

So, there were two updates during the week, the first was dealing with trinkets and the other something to do with Hunters.

I can guess which one may have broken GSE but it would just be a guess.

This is on a Rogue Outlaw spec, others have chimed in saying that they have had problems recently also.

Hey Petetsmisc, When Cymiric had this happen it came down to lag. Others that had this had macros with GCD abilities in the KeyPress locking up the macro. The two changes haven’t changed anything on GSE’s execution. The code for that hasn’t changed since WoD. The trinket change stopped GSE changing /use 13 to /use TrinketSlot0 and the hunter change changed Mend Pet to Revive Pet. There is nothing in that that will change how your macro executes. What you need to do with this is whet this to lock up and have /Gs debug running so you can see why it locked up. That’s what /Gs debug is for. TimothyLuke

My current latency sitting in Snug Harber Inn is 23ms. (dont know what it has been in Dungeons)
Both macros only have Tricks of the Trade and Stealth in the "Keypress" section and both spells are 0sec. CD.

I will attempt to reproduce this at training dummy while running debug.

p.s. thanks for replying

Ok, tried to run the macro with /gs debug enabled, holy molly, my fps dropped to zero, screen ghosted out, spinning blue wheel. This was in Boralus. So I went to my Garrison, no one is there and tried, same thing, as soon as I typed /gs debug and enabled it, after about 3seconds, fps dropped to 0, blue wheel spinning (macro was not locking up, just fps was 0).

Went to my Rogue Hall in Dalaran, latency about 30ms, same thing with turning on debug, fps drops to about 0, blue wheel spinning, ghosting of screen if I let it go on for too long.

Now, my latency seems to be high, last time I checked a few weeks ago, it was in the single digits or the low 20's (dont remember but it did not raise any eyebrows). So perhaps it is a latency issue, I will check with my Internet provider.

You should also look at #395
