TidyPlatesCore.lua script ran too long error appears from time to time
gleeming opened this issue ยท 2 comments
For the past several weeks (maybe even months), I've had LUA errors pop up at seemingly random times. They are not constant, perhaps once an hour. Last night I was in the ATDH raid on trash and had time to copy the error message text. My addons were up-to-date, so this was Threat Plates v11.1.34. Hope this helps track down any issues.

Hm, that's a weird error as the function in question is called (primarily) when a cast starts or is updated. I am currently not sure what the error "script ran to long" means, so I need to investigate. But based on my initial research it could mean that TP (or all addsons, not sure) in general takes to much CPU time which could happen in trash pulls more often than in boss pulls, I guess (see, e.g., https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/script-ran-too-long-too-sensitive/1558329).
Interesting. I have noticed recently that the game stutters a bit more than I remember when there are a lot of heavy graphics changes going on. Those are the (usually inopportune) times when the LUA error then fills a chunk of my screen.
Regarding the script ran too long error, perhaps it isn't specific to the TP addon as DBM will also throw the same. I'll drop my video quality, remove unused addons, etc and see if that improves things.
