#WeakAuras addon causing stuttering - freezing

After a long break from the game I came back for DF and found this problem I never before had. When I'm doing a dungeon run or raid my game will freeze for a half a maybe a second every ten or so seconds (timing is unreliable as the stuttering isn't in a fixed pace), and this had happen a couple of times in open world too. I tried uninstalling every addon and the game and reinstalling them again but didn't help. I played with no addons and the problem was solved so I decided to check each addon one by one. Seems like WA is the one causing this problem. Funny thing is the addon itself is the cause, as if I delete every aura the problem still persists. I've searched on the internet and found very similar threads in forums but none of them seem to give a solution that'd fix my performance problem. In addition to this I'm also experiencing some LUA errors but minor ones, I really dont care much about them as I care for the performance issue (keeps me out from raiding and pushing keys and makes me sad D:)
Of course I made sure to check I was using the latest version of WA and so on. Other than that I'm a complete useless person with programming or anything IT related, so I'll paste the profiling code I got from last dungeon (which was just for testing this and I was surprised the freezes where not as frequent as they usually are).

I am not surprised you’re seeing stutters with those spikes….

#

Get rid of LWA auras, Echo (Preservation), Mana Bar (Preservation)

#

Time Dilation

Scarlet Adaptation and Temporal Compression shouldn’t have that High spikes for what they do but it shouldn’t impact you too much

#

But those other ones I mentioned are murdering your frames

I ran auras just to show but deleting them doesn't help with the spikes

#

The only way I solved the problem was disableing the addon itself

#

It 100% will

#

Redo a dungeon while profiling without those auras I mentioned

Kk, gotcha

#

If you have errors, they are important, they can be the source of the issues

Aight, just ran another dung on the same toon after deleting that aura package (that left no aura active) and still got the same performance issues.

#

About LUA errors, I can't tell much about them, it's just been a couple of times but disable/enable WA solves it. Also, im dumb af and don't know how to check the errors xD

#

Thanks for the help so far by the way, so rude of me i didnt thank yall before

#

This second report doesn’t have aura information in it

viscid oar
#

ye, there was no aura active, but idk I just imported it for whatever reason

#

The thing is no auras active and addon disabled in my mind should give the same results, but it doesnt

#

Disabling WA stops the spikes, not loading any aura doesn't and to me that's odd, but idk how to show it to you any other way :S

will try this! Thank you very much

quick update on this thread: did run bugsack with WA and without WA active and got no bug detected whatsoever, but freezes persist. What surprised me most is that the freezes seem to also happen without WA active, so the time I "detected" WA as the one giving me this headache seems just to be a coincidence that repeated itself some times so I got to that conclusion.

#

So, no, WA isn't the one creating the problem... So sorry to waste your time!

#

Anyway, huge thanks to you all!

#

is it logging?

viscid oar
#

you mean is bugsack logging or is combat logging active?

honest fog
#

combatlogging

viscid oar
#

nah

#

I mean, yes I log raids but the freezing happens in any instance, sometimes even in valdrakken haha

#

I'll look into my pc, dust it off again just in case... but it's weird that it just happens with WoW and that some addons specifically aggravate the thing. Been running my work softwares all at the same time and I have not experienced anything like this

#

But this is totally off topic so I won't bother you anymore
