Every time? Does '/nui rl' fix it?

[tinyu]

yeah it does but then i login on a new toon and it happens again and i have to /rl again.

Hmmm... okay... I haven't seen that yet. I'll see if I can figure out what's up there. Sounds like your own character name isn't ready when you're entering the world, which is very odd.

So, here's the screenshot of what I experienced after updating to nui+ .13.



No error messages attached to it. Also, it only happened twice and it was on the same character (I was just testing out the old bug by swapping between characters, which, btw, it seems to be working lots better). Not sure what to make of this. I don't know how to recreate it (been trying to since it happened a second time).

[spiel2001]

That's odd indeed... do you have BugSack or Swatter installed? If not, you might try installing them and see if they trap an error.

I presume this is with the new 5.06.13 installed?

[tinyu]

that's what my screen looked like when i got that error i reported.

[Deimous]

Yep, this is with the new version. I do have swatter installed, and checked the log, but the latest error it trapped was from hours before this update went out. So, I'm kinda stumped. lol. Hasn't happened yet since.

[spiel2001]

Okay -- this may be the same name error that Tinyu reported. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can run it down.

Here's my screen when coming on after I installed the latest:

[spiel2001]

Yeah... /sigh

It appears there's a new problem now... it seems the people who have been having the login bug are having other issues how. From the look of it, their character's name isn't available when they're entering the world and nUI's trying to print the "welcome to nUI" message -- which is throwing a new error.

I haven't tried the new version yet but have tried that upgraded file Scott. It seems to have gotten rid of all but one of the errors but I had my own addon errors as well so will have to get rid of those before I know for sure. But I will also try the new version as well once Ive got the other file tested out.

[tinyu]

Just updated logged in and guess what NO ERRORS WOOOOT!!!

[Belgarius]

Just upgraded from .13 to .14, and am still getting the same screen on login that I had with .13

Apparently, I am too thick to figure out how to attach screenshots...

[spiel2001]

Are you sure you're upgraded? Does it print "nUI 5.06.14 is loaded" when you log in?

As far as uploading screen shots... very easy... there's a paperclip icon in the message editor here on WoWI... click that to attach a file to your message.

[Belgarius]

Aye, I am sure it was upgraded, as I remove old addons and install new ones or updates manually. Force of habit.

Strangely enough, the error has not reappeared on any of my characters on any server since the initial time, and they all show upgraded to .14 on initial login, so I am keeping my fingers crossed here. Once the error was cleared by reloading, it did not show the splash screen on the character in question, but all seems well so far.

Checked for that paperclip, not finding it here, might be a Firefox thing. I used the Insert Image button on my prior post, and it went through the paces, but no dice. Ah, well, here's hoping!

[spiel2001]

If you don't see the paperclip, scroll down the editor page and you'll see a "manage attachments" button that does the same thing.

[Belgarius]

Okay, got the error again. Nothing in Swatter, and it shows being upgraded to .14 this time, the splash screen is present, which is strange, since I logged into this character about three times since it showed up the first time. I tried the manage attachments on the first error screen, that is the one that looked like it worked, but didn't attach the screenshot. Trying it again on this post.

[spiel2001]

Okay -- this is, yet another, new error... further down the chain past the Splash screen error now. The player name and all else is present in the splash screen, so the error that's occurring now is not the same one that caused issues in the last update.

Now we just have to get an error recorded so we know where the new error is being thrown.

[Xrystal]

Can confirm that with v14 it doesn't trigger an error in bugsacks eyes but it definitely looks wrong somewhere. Image 2.

However, Scott, With v12 and the extra fix file you asked me to test this is the result. Image 1.

edit: Also, after a reloadUI, I get the splash screen to appear. But I didn't get the splash screen before that. Possibly the bug is occurring before the splash screen appears.
