Aura animations causing frame drops

I was experiencing frame drops whilst in combat. I had animations set to shrink/grow my auras when they appeared and disappeared. I created a performance profile as per asakawa on the discord and uploaded it here: https://pastebin.com/V6APTMS7 :another mod, Spaten, then suggested I remove all the animations and that fixed the issue immediately.

As above, the auras were intended to shrink and grow when they appeared or reappeared. As far as I remember this behaviour still occurred, but once I disabled those animations completely the issue was resolved.

Do you have an error log of what happened?
I do not, but I created a performance profile linked above.

To Reproduce

I use numerous weakauraas and tested in dungeons by setting load to 'never' on each of them. I quickly identified that the issue only occurred when one group was active, and this was the only group to contain animations.

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled?

Yes, I disabled everything and went into a normal dungeon with only weakauras enabled.

Which version of WeakAuras are you using?
3.2.1

Are you on World of Warcraft Classic or Retail?

  • Classic
  • Retail

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

The issue began after I updated Retail with 9.0.5. The issue only occurred on this character and other characters with animations in the same HUD groups that I utilise.

Additional Info

I have archived the auras here: https://wago.io/wAPf3avvk. I no longer use the animations in game but these still have them included. I've set the link to never expire but it is hidden.

I can't reproduce any issues with that aura set.

A severe frame drop is likely caused by lua errors and you should follow the instructions in the new bug template to install the bugsack/buggrabber addons.
