If you are getting those errors you are not using the alpha16 client.

Thats error using a 2.5 build on shadowlands

Thanks Timothy. I reloaded if off CurseForge but when I load the standard config it gives me a blank LUA Error message with no text in the box. I then hit close and I can see the SAM_RET version yet I am in Holy Spec. I cannot drag the Macro to my action bars. I then try to delete it and get this Lua error:

I then delete the SAM_RET and try to create my own custom macro names "Shock2" and it does not save.

I think tried a 2nd custom macro with a name never used before and it does the same thing.

Tim - I removed the GSE.lua from the beta directory. Restarted the beta with the same results. SAM_RET loads and is not usable. Then I try to create a custom macro and it wont save. On the third time here is exactly what happened: 1. It asks me if I want to load a macro and I say yes and get a blank LUA error screen with no text in it. I hit close. 2. I then open GSE by typing GSE and I see the SAM_RET macro but I cannot drag the icon to the action bar. 3. I then try to create a custom macro but it still wont save. (Same results as before I deleted the lua file ..

yeah the problem frim alpha14 hasnt been fixed in this build.

See #676

Hey Tim, I just loaded v17 and it appears it has fixed this issue. I can make a custom macro and it saves and I am able to use it.
