Blizzard LUA errors

May we kindly have some clarification what this is? Near constant errors related to mousing over items. It sure seems like it’s the Blizzard UI itself bugging out:

124x Blizzard_SharedXML/LayoutFrame.lua:487: attempt to compare a secret value

I made some tweaks to my personal addon, and I am using few other devs, and this happens even without any.. I damaged my nerves trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my code, until I realized its blizzards fault.

Anyway, its happening to me also mostly for tooltips over items, and some enemies.. Can’t pinpoint on exactly when, but for example, when we get raid boss loot, hovering over the one of dropped items usually start this lua error..

You’re not alone brother We’re all suffering the same Lua error. I even dont play with a lot of addons, just few simple ones like DBM , bagnon and details only and I still get these lua error hope they fix it soon

Yeah, Blizzard LUA errors seems to be related to the new UI/CD Manager/Tooltips. Even though the game keeps telling you to disable your addons, I still get LUA errors even without any enabled. Let’s hope it gets fixed during maintenance Wednesday.

Just want to add some of my troubles, in the hopes there’ll be some fixes underway. The game is close to unplayable with the current UI elements and issues atm.

- Problems I’ve experinced -

• Personal Resource Display never appears

• Nameplate system doesn’t load at all
(/run print(C_NamePlate.GetNamePlateForUnit("player")) returns nil in combat)

• Edit Mode “Snap to elements” is broken (Nothing snaps. Can’t save changes unless Snap to Elements is turned off)

• Tons of Blizzard UI Lua errors (anchors missing, etc.)

• Happens on all characters, including brand new ones

• Happens on a completely clean install with zero addons

• Says addons are causing troubles when no addons are installed.

- What I’ve tried to fix it -

Deleted WTF / Cache / Interface

• Full reinstall of Battle.net + WoW

• Deleted all leftover Blizzard folders (AppData, ProgramData, etc.)

• Installed WoW into a brand-new directory

• Tested without opening any UI windows

• Tested on brand-new characters

• Tried every CVar reset option available

Got the tooltip errors on items (tooltips dissapearing and on worldquest icons on map.. the WQ tooltip “box” also can’t decide if it should be large/small.. keeps changing size every second.. really annoying. xD
