Problem with nui+ and 3.3.5 (memory)

[Vanni]

Hey guys, um...did a clean install of nui+ (latest version, but not the new alpha) and I'm noticing that after I play for awhile and come back to Dalaran...I can only be there for a max of maybe 3 mins before WoW crashed due to a call for memory that it couldn't do.

Now, I reloaded and have been watching the memory usage by all my addons. And nui is the only one that steadily increases. Even if I'm standing still not doing anything.

Why would this be? And what should I do? I really like this addon, but I cannot accept the huge drain on my system just for the sake of a neat UI.

I think there is a known problem with memory issue since the new patch. As to the nUI increase that is due to growing memory use but then it gets released every so often so if you keep watching it, it will drop down lower.

The changes coming in nUI6 will include a better management of the data and the memory it uses and so far it seems to be working alot better.

Well that's great to hear.

I can't wait for nUI6.

It is suggested that you reduce your view distance to solve the memory problem -- http://www.wow.com/2010/06/24/patch-...storage-error/

I have also found that reducing shadow detail in this patch makes a marked improvement in frame rate.
