How do you know its WIM? Can you post something that pinpoints WIM as the problem for your lag? Have you deleted your WTF folder? I was getting lag but it was my map and quest addons that were doing that. WIM has a very small addon footprint when compared to them. You might want to disable them first and see what happens.

Man I don't know what you changed for v3 3.5.0, but I'm lagging so bad the game will barely run. I've isolated the problem to WIM for sure though. I absolutely love wow im, and I appreciate all the hard work that I know you have put in to it, but I'm gonna have to drop it till the next release. TY in advance, BattleBurger.

I have the same issue with the latest version.

I was running an older version with no probs, updated WIM (only mod I updated) and dropped to 10 FPS... HORRIBLE fps... it's not even a playable 10 frames.

I disable WIM and jumped back up to 80+ fps with max settings on a Core i7, 5870HD graphics card with 10gigs of memory.

WIM is killing my FPS. Not sure why.

Thanks to those who provided feedback on the beta. I have released 3.5.0. It fixes the common RealID chat issue everyone was having, and disables the Wim2Wim subsystems (for now at least).

Please report any issues you find via the issue tracker.

Beta 3.5.0b3 fixes right-clicking from the friends list to start a realid chat

I have enabled alpha builds on this project. If you want to help test out the latest versions, you should set your curse client to get alphas. Keep in mind that alphas will break from time to time.

I probably wont be doing many beta builds now that I have enabled alphas.

As soon as I get some feedback on 3.5.0b3 as to it working or not working it will be released.

I think that Pazza no longer has time to work on WIM. It's a great addon, so when I get some time I'll be looking into fixing the *major* issues.

That's sad to hear. But, it's also relieving to know that it won't die. Anyhow, thanks for the news sylvanaar.

Greetz.

The mod seems to have issues with history and realids... labeling them in your history as unknowns when the person uses different characters.

It would be nice to have the mod check your whispers against your realid friends list and then group all of the whispers from that person under that name instead of using seperate names, even if they message you from a character instead of realid.

The new tabbing is also wonky. When you try tabbing through whispers it sticky tabs between two users, which is really annoying. It'd be nice if there was a option to revert it to the old style of tabbing.

I gave up on this. A lot of my friends and guild members have stopped using wim. I guess they don't find it as cool as it was before. Sadly, I'm disabling wim myself since there's no feature to keep tabs from auto focusing on new messages. Must have sent wrong messages to 5 different people today. Sorry, hopefully v4 is somewhat different. It's getting old.

ATTENTION: FOR PEOPLE WITH THE "GetAutoCompletePresenceID" LUA ERROR SPAM:

Rilgamon on the WIM forums came up with a temporary fix. Add this to line 147 of WIM/Sources/Socket.lua:

if(ttype == "WHISPER" and target == nil) then return end

And it should be fixed. All credit goes to Rilgamon, link to the original post here: http://www.wimaddon.com/forums/index.php/topic,1222.0.html
