    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    The problem is I haven´t found a way to reproduce this "error". For me it happens randomly, sometimes after each wipe, sometimes 1,5 hours nothing an then this error appears.

    What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
    Mostly it happens during buffing before an encounter. When this error appears there was allways a short lag and after this one or 2-3 people in raid where not updated correctly. I have added a buff watch for ma SDM and all players in the group are in range but the "broken" people in raid don´t get their buffs updated. Also all other displays (health, dead, debuffs) will not get any update. Only solution I found to get grid back working was a complete restart of WoW. I tried to only reload my UI but this error persisted through it.

    What Grid2 version and language of WoW are you using?
    r607

    Do you have an error log of what happened?
    I turned on my lua errors but it seems that there is no real lua-error. For the moment I haven´t found a way to get a log for this.

    Please provide any additional information below.
    To be honest with you I don´t even know whether this error is produced by grid or no but since it has this heavy influence on grid I thought I should post it here.

    Forgott to mention something...

    I´m using the german client and a guildmember who is using only a very few addons had yesterday the same issue with grid. For me these problems started since 26.07.11, never had anything like this before.

    Sorry but i cannot reproduce de problem. Reloading the UI is like a wow restart, all addons are reloaded, no addon information or states are shared (that could transmit the bug) between the "bugged session" and the "new session". If an UI reload does not fix the issue  some weird crash is happening in wow client.
    Try to disable another addons or disable some grid2  modules / statuses to see if the issue disappears.
    The issue could be caused by some problem in the wow client or the network connection too (and not related to any addon).

    Do you think it would make sence to setup grid 2 completly new from scratch for me?

    You can create a new profile configuration for testing purposes. An inactive profile configuration (your old config) must not break anything.

    I have the same problem. Only occur after a whipe. And always only affect one person in raid (not the same one always, but always only one. 10m raid.). Reload the UI wont work, but if i restart wow everything is working again untill next whipe.

    I have bugsack installed and dont get any error. Using the english client.

    • Edit* Now that i think of it, the addons "Bigbrother" and "Raid Buff Status" reports that those players that this occurs on dont have buff food/flask so maybe this is a Blizz bugg as i guess they dont read buffs from grid unitframes?

    WOW client stops to notify player changes to the addons. Seems a bug/crash of the game itself, but very hard to discover the cause.
    I will keep the ticket opened, maybe someone can report  additional info in the future.

    The original Grid has a user-checkmark option that may address this problem: "Throttle Updates". Mouseover tooltip text for it: "Throttle updates on group changes. This option may cause delays in updating frames, so you should only enable it if you're experiencing temporary freezes or lockups when people leave or join your group."

    Seems its not the same problem. The Grid issue is simply a delay (and only for some seconds), when a lot of people joins/leaves raid at the same time.

    Hm, haven´t had this issue again since last small patch. Seems so be fixed by the wow update.
