I’m getting this UI error every time I log in and intiate combat, PvE or PvP battlegrounds, any area. (I’ve pasted the error text below.)
What’s happening
It occurs when i e.g. zone into a BG, the massive lua error appears midscreen - if i click to reload UI it seems to fix it (until i log out of the client and log back in, where it crops back up). or if i click the x to close the lua error, within a few seconds of combat it pops up again.
I’m running the client on an EU server, English langauge setting, nothing unusual.
What i’ve tried to fix it:
at first i thought it was an addon, disabled them, googled a bit and folk seem to suggest (from what ltitle i’ve found) that it’s an error with the new in game layout editor. attempting a fix as suggested (moving every single native UI element by a tiny amount then saving) didn’t help.
here is the error text in the lua error popup:
