RatingBuster

120 - laggy mousover

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. cursor on items in the character frame
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
i see a really bad frame drop. holding the mouse over an item makes the game micro-freeze every second. fast hovering on different items makes the framerate even worst, the game is really unplayable.

What version of the product are you using?
r322-nolib

Do you have an error log of what happened?
no lua errors

Please provide any additional information below.
i have some items in my actionbars, and no issues there, the game runs smoothly.

Edit by Whitetooth

I'm haven't been unable to reproduce the laggy mouseover problem on enUS and zhTW clients, I think this problem may have something to do with incomplete localization of LibStatLogic and RatingBuster.

If you are experiencing this problem, please also tell us what locale you are using.

- Note to localizers:  Unmatched strings costs a lot of CPU time which may contributes to the laggy mouse over some people are experiencing, and should be prevented whenever possible. Turn on /sldebug and see if there are any "No Match" strings, any unused strings should be added to the "Exclude" table. Its preferable to have as few "PreScanPatterns" as possible to reduce CPU time, only use this table if all other methods fail.

    I get this problem on the enUS client. It seems to come and go and I can't seem to pinpoint exactly what causes it. But I seemed to manage to be able to find it to happen repeatedly for my alt moonkin druid when I mouse over Cadaverous Leggings.

    sldebug gave me:

    [00:29:07]   PreScan Exclude: Cadaverous Garb (0/5)(^[%a '%-]+%((%d+)/%d+%)$)
    [00:29:07]   SingleEquip: Equip: Increases your critical strike rating by 14., MELEE_CRIT_RATING=14, SPELL_CRIT_RATING=14
    [00:29:07] StatLogic:GetDiff
    [00:29:07] [Cadaverous Leggings]
    [00:29:07]   PreScan: 170 Armor, ARMOR=170
    [00:29:07]   SinglePlus: +14 Agility, AGI=+14
    [00:29:07]   SinglePlus: +14 Stamina, STA=+14
    [00:29:07]   SingleEquip: Equip: Increases your critical strike rating by 14., MELEE_CRIT_RATING=14, SPELL_CRIT_RATING=14

    [00:29:07] StatLogic:GetDiff
    [00:29:07] StatLogic:GetDiff

    It doesn't seem to happen every time I mouse over it but it seems it happens 1 out of 3 or 4 times it will drop my FPS from 120 to around 67-72 (I run a 120hz monitor).

    Thanks, the lastest LibStatLogic-1.2 solves the problem.

    Outfitter user must also replace or edit the LibStatLogic files in the outfitter folder.

    @Vyrt: Go

    Can you see if LibStatLogic-1.2 r64 fixes your errors and lag? http://www.wowace.com/addons/libstatlogic-1-2/files/62-r64/

    I'm glad someone made a little progress with this ticket since I had feared it might have just been completely ignored.

    I had just built a new computer complete with WoW on a dedicated SSD, fully fresh install and still get this problem.

    The function in RatingBuster.lua, RatingBuster.ProcessTooltip(), is running repeatedly while hovering over gear in inventory. It has to run because Blizzard is updating the tooltip constantly and erasing what ratingbuster had. Throttling the function slower did not help when I tried because ratingbuster stats kept disappearing. Hmm.

    I noticed a few days ago, this bug only being present on my Pally, when speccd holy, and on my Mage. I wondered why not on on my Warri, Hunter, Rogue or RET-Pally.

    I did some research and detected the issue (hopefully).

    I tryed turning off:

    • Stat Breakdown
      • Anything on the "Intellect"-tab (show spelldmg from int and so on)
    • Stat Summery
      • Stat - Basic
        • Sum Int
        • Sum Mana
        • Sum normal Mana Regen
        • Sum combat Mana Regen

    Now there wasn't any lag.

    So I tryed turning on only one of them at a time and noticed a frame drop. On "Sum Int" and "Sum Mana" the drop was very very small. Every checkbox except those two caused the well known lag aka framedrop.

    So my conclusion is, that there is something wrong with the int-conversion-code. (There is a "sqrt(INT)" inside the mp5-Formula - if s.o. wonders the link between Int and mp5)

    I've 20/525 in coding lua, so I can't look over it and search for myself. But hopefully someone can solve this issue with this information.

    I think this bug report post of mine may be of interest to those trying to fix the performance issues: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1567811654 or http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1568011629

    In short, Blizzard is hiding/showing item tooltips repeatedly when the cursor is over an item in the bags and elsewhere. This hurts FPS, especially when using certain addons. If Blizzard doesn't fix this soon, addon developers will probably have to throttle their item tooltip examinations.
