Hello! I'm getting this error too. I have Diminish attached to the nameplates.

So I got this too and was able to debug it a bit.

Icons:AnchorPartyFrames() is now getting called before PLAYER_LOGIN_EVENT in response to the hook on EditModeManagerFrame/OnSystemSettingChange (presumably new in 10.0.5) So the Diminish db isn't yet initialized.

I was able to workaround the bug by making a small modification:

Diminish.lua around line 274...

old:
Icons:AnchorPartyFrames()

new:
if NS.db then Icons:AnchorPartyFrames() end

I don't know the code well enough to know if this is a proper fix, but if its wrong it probably only affects detection of switching between party and raid style frames without a reload.

It works for me well enough, but your mileage may very. Hope this helps...

[Natlyz]

Well, that removed the error that I get when I log in, but now I'm not sure the addon will work properly. Testing required 😅

[wardz]

Should be fixed now in v2.5.9.

Thanks!
