Wondering if you have any update for the lag issue?

Problem:

I have the same issue with the latest version.

I was running an older version with no probs, updated WIM (only mod I updated) and dropped to 10 FPS... HORRIBLE fps... it's not even a playable 10 frames.

I disable WIM and jumped back up to 80+ fps with max settings on a Core i7, 5870HD graphics card with 10gigs of memory.

WIM is killing my FPS. Not sure why.

There is no lag issue with WIM itself. You have some kind of other problem. With what I don't know.

Hey I was just wondering if there was a sort of "AFK" mode or something like that in WIM? If not, I would like to enter it as a feature suggestion so that when you enable it by check box or command, it will send an automatic reply to anyone that whispers you that you are unavailable or away doing something. The ability to customize the auto-response would be awesome too. Cheers.

Getting the lag issue as well with both new releases of WIM. Reverted back to 3.4.2 and it seemed to resolve the issue. Disabled all other add-on I have (Only MyRoleplay and Holofriends) and the issue was persistent. Noticed the memory use went from 3 MB (3.4.2) spiking up to 5 MB (Just WIM alone with no other add-on) use with the newer versions. Using Windows Vista if it might be a operating thing since some folk don't seem to have this. Keep up the good work.

It will get fixed - you just gotta deal with it for now. It is next on my todo list when I get some free time.

Hello, my IRL Friends whispers don;t get saved. And at the WIM History, all my IRL friends whispers are a complete mess. From multiple of the same name, to completely different names to the one I've talked to.

Whats up with this? It has been like this since IRL Friends was introduced, I thought it would get fixed but still nothing changed.

Hi, I've noticed that for some reason when you go into combat your window wont always centre back where it was placed initially, but somehow actually appear to be outside of the viewable area of your screen. (moves more and more down the screen for each minimize due to combat until it is entirely outside of the screen and you have no way of seeing it to move it back to its' original position.)

Is it possible to get a reset button for your windows, or an all round fix for thi

Thanks for a great addon though. I have not had any other issues with it bar this one.

Should be fixed. Always good to give the exact version number so we know which version you are talking about.

Hello. LOVE this addon, but with the latest version, I too cannot play with this enabled. My fps drop down to 0.6, and cannot move or do anything as the error message constantly displays and the error count continues to go up. It gets to about 38 before I can finally get the ESC key to work and logout. Any suggestions?

Here is the error message that is displayed:

Im having a couple problems with WIM and was wondering if anyone can give me some direction.

1. The window doesnt seem to like to anchor. I will get a pst, reply, reduce the window and by the next time I replay...the WIM window has decided it wants to be in the top left corner, instead of where I placed the anchor.

2. The window also seems to have a size complex. I have tried to make the window pretty small in height and extended the width, but I just wants to be bigger so it decides to make itself bigger :p

Granted I am not a genius when it comes to a lot of this puter stuff, however the options seem simple enough to customize...they just don't seem to like to stay that way after I set them >.>

How do you know its WIM? Can you post something that pinpoints WIM as the problem for your lag? Have you deleted your WTF folder? I was getting lag but it was my map and quest addons that were doing that. WIM has a very small addon footprint when compared to them. You might want to disable them first and see what happens.

Man I don't know what you changed for v3 3.5.0, but I'm lagging so bad the game will barely run. I've isolated the problem to WIM for sure though. I absolutely love wow im, and I appreciate all the hard work that I know you have put in to it, but I'm gonna have to drop it till the next release. TY in advance, BattleBurger.
