WowAce

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. It is always The Same:
2. Raid for 2-3 hrs system will crash, with the message printed below. Windows "Ding"Error sound comes up und wow quits instantly. EVERY DAY I AM RAIDING AFTER 2 OR 3 Hours.
3. After loging in you can raid for new 2-3 hours then the error comes again. I get this error up to 8times a week and last time it crashes by 15% of bossfight - login - no loot for me -.-. Disabled cowtip and no errors in raiding. But i love your addon so please fix it! Try to google this error message ive printed below, there are many forum posters that all say cowtip is the cause.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing. Error and then wow quits.

What version of the product are you using?
Always the Newest.

Do you have an error log of what happened?
YES:

Keep up the good work, love your tooltip addon! but i will use it in raids as well ;)

This issue really needs some looking into, its a major (imo totally critical) problem.

Exact same issue. Had to disable Cowtip due to "memory allocation error: block too big" and the UI locking up during raids.

Odd thing is that whenever it happened I could only use my direct dmg spells, channeled spells wouldn't cast for some reason. Not sure if that's related to the error at all as I don't see how the UI would effect that but just throwing it our there in case it helps.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. Didn't ever change any of my addons (use Pitbull and various other things) but for some reason, this week, CowTip started giving me this error. When it happened, I couldn't cast a single spell, and I had to alt-F4 out of the game (couldn't even get a menu to exit).

It sucks, because no other tooltip mod suits my needs. But CowTip is removed now until this is resolved.

Same issue, appears to be related to other addons that use the same libraries.

No problem with cowtip until I installed ElkBuffBars. No problems with ElkBuffBars once I removed CowTip

I don't use CowTip and also get this error. Can post a list of addons if it would be helpful!

I had this bug last night. Everything freezes up =(
