    This issue really needs some looking into, its a major (imo totally critical) problem.

  • _ForgeUser8322 posted a comment Dec 8, 2008

    Exact same issue. Had to disable Cowtip due to "memory allocation error: block too big" and the UI locking up during raids.

    Odd thing is that whenever it happened I could only use my direct dmg spells, channeled spells wouldn't cast for some reason. Not sure if that's related to the error at all as I don't see how the UI would effect that but just throwing it our there in case it helps.

    Yeah, I'm having the same issue. Didn't ever change any of my addons (use Pitbull and various other things) but for some reason, this week, CowTip started giving me this error. When it happened, I couldn't cast a single spell, and I had to alt-F4 out of the game (couldn't even get a menu to exit).

    It sucks, because no other tooltip mod suits my needs. But CowTip is removed now until this is resolved.

    Same issue, appears to be related to other addons that use the same libraries.

    No problem with cowtip until I installed ElkBuffBars. No problems with ElkBuffBars once I removed CowTip

    I don't use CowTip and also get this error. Can post a list of addons if it would be helpful!
