Today's WAU: Don't run it.

[alenda]

I've gotten into the habit of running WAU every day before I log in, and this morning, tragedy struck. Somewhere, something that I updated has caused the game to stall at the end of the load bar. It also makes the load bar take about twice as long as usual. Once I get to the end, it sits, alt-tab, ctrl-alt-del, nothing works except hard-booting my pc. I let it go for 5 minutes without anything. I don't know if anyone can reproduce this and actually find out how to fix it, but yeah.

Creating Change Summary

I don't know if someone can garner anything out of that list that might cause a problem. I can load with no addons just fine. I've tried loading other chars, and other servers. Bleh desu.

[greenpanther]

Yep same thing happened to me. Trying to figure it out now.

[Arkive]

I'm pretty sure I ran mine this morning and it's ok. Perhaps backup your addons folder and try updaing all of them with externals and see what happens.

[Detritis]

I believe the naughty party is 'FuBar_SkillsPlusFu - Updated to rev WITH Externals 50245', had the same problem when I just updated and tracked it to him.

[alenda]

I just narrowed it to FuBar and then checked here to see the SkillsPlus addon. I believe that's what's going on.

[greenpanther]

Yes disabling the Fubar SkillsPlus worked for me also.

[Moonsong]

Yes, I had the same thing happen today. I renamed the Interface and WTF folders and it started just fine. I did not try logging in with an Alt like my bank alt that has fewer of the addons enabled, but I did recopy the old folders back into the new ones and was able to log that bank alt in just fine.

**Edit** And yes, thank you all - FuBar SkillsPlusFu was the one that kept my main from loading.
