Cross Realm issues with version 4.6.6 #372

Closed Roflsaurus16 closed 10 months ago

Roflsaurus16 commented 11 months ago

Hello,

Just wanted to report that with version 4.6.6, my character on a Horde guild on Illidan was no longer able to see the confederate guild chat or see the guild members from our Alliance guild on Stormrage. It seemed that the Stormrage characters could still see me, but I could not see them or see their chat.

When I reverted back to version 4.6.4, that seemed to fix the problem.

Thanks!

I am having the same issue. I use ELVUI and I have Guild (X) datatext associated on my minimap panel. When I was using 4.6.4 I could see the number of guildies online and when I hovered over that I would see the full guild roster. When I updated to 4.6.6, the spot where I would see online guildies was blank. When I hovered I wouldn't see full guild roster. I also wasn't receiving any confederate guild chat messages/notifications. This was only applicable for my Illidan - Horde character. When I swapped to my Alliance - Stormrage character in the same confederate guild, it worked. I confirmed that I had active bnet friends online on the alliance side of the guild, so I should've had an active connection.

Within the same timeframe, I reverted back to 4.6.4 and was able to see guild roster and guild chat once again.

FYI, myself and ERMAHGERDkitty are both part of the Death Jesters and Zeroes to Heroes confederate of guilds.

Ciao guys, sorry for the hiccup. What I noticed was that old logic was causing a problem. Back when factions were isolated, if the addon noticed only 1 guild setup on a particular realm/faction combination, it did not use the chat channel but GUILD instead. Since now horde members can be in alliance guilds, that was causing problems. Like all Horde characters using their GUILD chat. This was causing some messages to get missed. 4.6.6 was a fix but broke something else. 4.6.8 should be good.

As a stop gap until everyone gets on 4.6.8, you can try setting up a fake Horde guild in your settings. If the addon sees >1 guilds of a faction, the old logic uses chat which is the intent here. We're currently testing this in EK.
