Inspecting another player closes after a short period of time, why? Is this a bug?

I am not sure where to put this, so move it if it’s placed in the wrong category.

When you are inspecting someone the inspect can either be really slow, or not happening at all and it always closes after a very short period of time without me doing anything except hovering with my mouse over the players gear.

It feels like the inspect makes a connection from point A to point B and then drops the connection without keeping it open.
This only happends during inspecting another player and i do not run any addons what so ever, so there is nothing that can interfere from there.

Yes, it closes if the player moves too far away. Always has.

That also happends, but it closes after like 5 seconds even if they are just standing still. And it is very annoying.

In my opinion i should be able to inspect anyone from anywhere for whatever amount of time i want. I close the window when im done, not the game. This should be addressed and fixed.

You would need to report it as a bug then. Thats done ingame not on the forums.

Ok, i have submitted a bug report. The whole forum should do it too, imho. :smiley:

Well it’s not an issue I’ve experienced so I have nothing to report personally.

Do you have any addons installed? If so have you checked if the issue still happens when you disable all addons?

It’s not something that affects me either. However, he did quite clearly say that he has no addons installed in his original post.

Although, if I got £1 for the number of times I’ve seen people claim not to have addons installed, simply because they don’t want to be told to uninstall them, and they don’t believe its addon related… I’d be driving a Porsche!

Ha ha, that made me chuckle… becuase it’s so true! :rofl: :joy:

Except i have no addons installed. I am running 100% default UI.
