[BUG] Error on Level Up

Post by EthanCentaurai

Greetings!

I have been getting the following error a lot recently:1x Blizzard_GlyphUI\Blizzard_GlyphUI-1.0.lua:174: attempt to index global "PlayerTalentFrame" (a nil value)
Blizzard_GlyphUI\Blizzard_GlyphUI-1.0.lua:174: in function "GlyphFrame_Update"
Blizzard_GlyphUI\Blizzard_GlyphUI-1.0.lua:93: in function <Blizzard_GlyphUI\Blizzard_GlyphUI.lua:80>

Locals:
self = GlyphFrame {
0 = <userdata>
glow = GlyphFrameGlow {}
specRing = GlyphFrameSpecRing {}
sideInset = GlyphFrameSideInset {}
specIcon = GlyphFrameSpecIcon {}
Glyph4 = GlyphFrameGlyph4 {}
levelOverlayText2 = GlyphFrameLevelOverlayText2 {}
background = GlyphFrameBackground {}
Glyph1 = GlyphFrameGlyph1 {}
scrollFrame = GlyphFrameScrollFrame {}
clearInfo = GlyphFrameClearInfoFrame {}
Glyph2 = GlyphFrameGlyph2 {}
levelOverlay2 = GlyphFrameLevelOverlay2 {}
levelOverlayText1 = GlyphFrameLevelOverlayText1 {}
levelOverlay1 = GlyphFrameLevelOverlay1 {}
Glyph5 = GlyphFrameGlyph5 {}
Glyph6 = GlyphFrameGlyph6 {}
Glyph3 = GlyphFrameGlyph3 {}
}
event = "PLAYER_LEVEL_UP"

I get it every time I level up and quite a lot when I change continent (i.e., taking the portal from Dalaran to Stormwind).

After a lot of head scratching and digging around I discovered that the problem lies in the WoWhead Looter. It is loading the Glyph UI before the Talent UI is loaded.

I really doubt that Blizzard are going to change anything just because a third-party addon is having issues. Thankfully it's an easy fix; simply open Wowhead_Looter.lua and change line 2422 from:LoadAddOn("Blizzard_GlyphUI")

to:UIParentLoadAddOn("Blizzard_TalentUI")
UIParentLoadAddOn("Blizzard_GlyphUI")

The Talent UI will be loaded before the Glyph UI, which means PlayerTalentFrame exists and the Glyph UI will stop causing the error.

I've tried countless ways to contact someone about this but never got an answer, so I'm going to leave this here and hope someone can see it.

This isn't a Wowhead bug, but a Blizzard bug. You need to install BlizzBugsSuck(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##Keep in mind that several people have had the error stop by following the advice of the original poster here. Do whatever you feel most comfortable with.
