Lua error (memory) - not enough memory

[kamlanaut]

I have been encoutering this problem, everytime when I warp or zone into an area I get a 5-10 second freez, then everything start running normally again, then this message would show up.

these are the plugin i'm using:
chars
distance
dynamishelper
highlight
silence
update

What is the "update" addon?

[z16]

It's an addon that allows updating Windower by typing //update or alternatively enable periodic update checks by specifying an interval.

[Byrth]

Well, if it's known then my only suspect is dynamishelper, really.

For @kamlanaut - Arcon and I are discussing which addon might be causing this. The error that you are getting is often caused by infinite recursion (a loop that cannot be exited) where something is added to memory with each loop. Because it's slowly increasing memory, eventually it hits the maximum for LuaCore and LuaCore terminates it and thus forces it to exit the loop. If it wasn't adding anything to memory, it would just freeze your process indefinitely.

[z16]

Can you unload everything and see if it works, then try to enable them one by one to see if it's an addon causing it?

[z16]

Closed by accident...

[smd111]

wouldn't this command let you know what addon is causing the memory over-run
//lua memory
you would just have to use it a few times and see which one is gaining size

[z16]

But if it only happens on zoning, it would be hard to time it exactly right, as when the memory overruns, the function stops executing and the garbage collector would clean it up again.

[z16]

Apparently this is due to Highlight. I'll look into it.

[Byrth]

This may be fixed on -dev. I'm going to start using highlight and see if I can reproduce the issue. If not, I'll close it in a week or so.

[Byrth]

I haven't been able to reproduce this, so I assume it is fixed.

Hello,

I just had this issue with Highlight today (5/6/2016) and my Son had it yesterday (5/5/2016).

Thank you.

I have been having this issue ongoing as well. June13, 2016. I just turned off Highlight to see if it resolves the issue.

2023, this is happening to me. Not sure how to reproduce it, it only happens in Dynamis W3 it seems. I've just unloaded the Highlight plugin for now and will see on next run if my freezes continue.
