How to disable "addons experiencing large number of errors" notification?

Guides UI and Macro
1

Hi

So I downloaded yesterday the addon flyplatebuffs which is outdated but it works perfectly fine. I see all the buffs and debuffs and the duration above the nameplate which is just what i needed for arena.

Now my problem is following. Since I downloaded this particular addon, I get the error message pop up quite frequently saying “Your AddOns are experiencing a large number of errors and may be slowing down the game. Blabla”

The thing is, other that this error message popping up constantly, I dont see any errors or slowing down of the game so I tried pretty much everything to disable this error message in future.

This is what I already tried:

  1. I set this value to 0 (was 1 before obv)

/console scriptErrors 0

  1. I downloaded the addon ErrorMonster

and set this addon to block literally all the error messages

  1. used AdvancedInterfaceOptions CVar Browser

to change the value for “luaErrorExceptions” and “scriptErrors” to 0 or -1 (I tried both)

So now I’m kinda out of ideas and the annoying pop up still pops up also during fight and during arena matches which is in particular annoying.

Anyone else has an idea how to solve this issue?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You can’t disable it. It means one of your addons is causing problems/not coded right for the current API and is throwing a ton of errors.

Either fix the addon or find a different one.

/console scriptErrors 1 and you should see a ton.

1 option is to install AdvancedInterfaceOptions
Enable LUA error and see which addon is problematic

Praise it didnt pop in your solo Q because you wont have time fixing any crap there
I lose 4 rounds thanks to it blocking 1/3 of my screen, despite my UI ratio setting to 75%

Considering that addon is 4.5 years out of date (and nameplates having undergone several changes over the years), your options are to either use another addon like Plater nameplates, or try to fix the error yourself using the suggested code fixes in the addon’s comments section on curseforge.

So I managed to fix the error actually. If someone has the same issue and looking for a method, here is how you do it.

You go to Github and download the old original version and replace it with the stuff you downloaded from Curseforge or similar.

github dot com / CDub619/flyPlateBuffs

Works actually like a charm. No more error messages etc.
