After every patch there are often a variety of bugs that crop up in the WoW UI. Many of them go largely unnoticed by users. AddOn authors have often made small addons to fix these problems. This addon intends to create a single installation for users that include whatever fixes the community can come up with for UI problems. As new issues and workarounds are discovered they will be added. As old issues get fixed they will be removed. Users benefit by having a single addon they can just keep updated to get the fixes. Blizzard benefits by having a single addon to look for our workarounds to their problems and hopefully things get fixed sooner.
Current fixes include:

Dominia, The method of getting your RealName from the game is to whisper yourself. Outside of an event that very rarely fires, there is no other way to my knowledge to get your own real name. If an addon can get the name it could send it to other players via the addon communication system. AddOns can hide whispers that you are sending or receiving, so it'd be trivial for an addon to make it whisper yourself, get your name from that, and then whisper it to someone else. That's the concern.

Is there a way for you to include a fix to prevent RealID friends of friends from being broadcast at all?

In the comments here you say:
"The only thing it blocks is the ability to send a Battle Net whisper to yourself." In the Addon Info you say: "Block the exploit that allows AddOns from getting your Real Name from the Real ID system." Basically, I want to know if any Addon I install will be able to grab the RealID from my account and display it for OTHER people to view? That's not the same thing as blocking me from whispering myself. Sorry for my confusion. My head is spinning from all this RealID crap. |

Did this addon used to be named Blizz Sucks? Or something similar?

Many Thanks!
Many thanks Shefki for the work of integrating the RealID name fix into this; it is so much handier to only need one addon to fix all Blizz's bugs instead of three or four.
One quick question on the RealID name fix, will this "play nice" with chat addons, or is it going to interfere with RealID whispers and conversations there? I don't necessarily have a problem with it if it does, I just wanted to expect it if if was going to happen. I'd much rather have the extra level of blocking and a little bit of hassle with a chat mod than not. |

This addon is intended to fix bugs in the WoW UI, which is implemented in Lua on top of the game engine.
The memory errors are caused by an issue where the game is using more memory than it can allocate. Most of that memory is used by the game itself and not addons. WoW is a 32-bit app and generally that means it is limited to using 2GB of RAM (even if the system has more than that). As the game grows more and more complex and more and more things have higher quality textures, WoW is running into this more and more. This isn't something that I can do anything about. It's entirely up to Blizzard to fix this one. There's a thread here on the official forums with some discussion and posts on this: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...52505632&sid=1 DamnBlizzardErrorFrame isn't something that we'd likely include in this addon since it's purpose is to enhance not fix any specific bugs. |

what about "memory" errors? my game crashes a lot since last tuesday's update. Most of the time the error references MapMem.cpp trying to request a huge block of memory. I do run a lot of addons so I know blizz will blame them, but the game ran fine with the same addons up until blizz released the update last tuesday. I've seen this situation on many of the previous updates too over the years and after a month or so of blizz bug fixes and new releases of addons the problem mysteriously goes away, but I never know what really fixed the problem. If it is indeed an addon that is no longer compatible with the new game code, what is the best way to identify which addon to stop using? I already use !DamnBlizzardErrorFrame and will stop using any addon's referenced in errors displayed by that. any ideas?
