TBC PVP timers breaking randomly

[Nillx]

Noticed that often the timers are randomly breaking and getting stuck (not counting). Sometimes some bars disappear and leave an empty space between the bars. Also sometimes bars break the order and they are not being shown by time remaining.

Like here, im not even in AV but the timer is there and not counting anything. I have to reload to remove it.

WHich version of DBM-PvP are you running?

[Nillx]

Seems i had the v123. Trying another AV to see if its happening with v124 too.

[Nillx]

No issues with 124 so far, ill report back if there are any.

[Nillx]

Its still happening. Timers randomly getting stuck and not updating or not triggering at all.

[MysticalOS]

any lua errors happening? running buggrabber/bugsack to collect errors?

[Nillx]

Nope no errors. I have them both. It happens after a few BGs, after a reload its fine and then eventually it starts happening again.

[MysticalOS]

As usual, only pvp timers can break timers in a way that's impossible to reproduce. I doubt this will ever be fixed sadly

[MysticalOS]

Was the horde wins timer stuck too or just blacksmith in that example? has the win timer ever been stuck?

[Nillx]

Win timer works but the capture timers often break. In AV and AB

[MysticalOS]

ah ok so win timer has never had the break? it's always the cap timer?

[Nillx]

I do not remember seeing it stuck no

[Nillx]

Correction. Predication timer also breaks. Both predication and flag capture timers broke completely today while i was doing AB.

[QartemisT]

Thanks for the updates. I'll look into this, to see why its being silly, and try to get a fix as soon as possible :)

I've noticed thus far on AV, it's either no timers/no boss health at all, or it works perfectly. In AB it's all over the place, timers that sometimes stop counting, or completely bugged timers, like showing when still 400ish resources remaining that you'll win in 40 seconds. I've got the feeling it sees the cap timers sometimes as win timers, but I am not sure.

Edit: using latest version.

[Nillx]

Latest update fixed the issue with the AV timers, but im still seeing the timers break in AB.

[MysticalOS]

Latest pvp mods update or the latest DBM alpha update? I emphasize alpha because the possible fix isn't in DBM 2.5.4 release, it was pushed after that into alpha only.

[Nillx]

Latest alpha r124-1-g1d1c592-bcc

[MysticalOS]

Ok that's pvp mods. Install latest alpha DBM files for BCC https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/deadly-boss-mods/files/3326732

and report findings

[Nillx]

I do have that too and the AB timers were getting stuck at 60s. Or the prediction timer was not appearing.

[MysticalOS]

prediction is still using a dirty enlarge hack that probably isn't fixed. no idea about other ones. Simply don't have time to look into it so it's all on @QartemisT

[Nillx]

No problem. Im just reporting my findings.

A few examples. Im currently standing in Orgrimmar but i have this timer stuck on my screen (shows 30sec)

Or during the BG there was no timer for Limber Mill

[QartemisT]

Some timers being weird and not showing up is an occasional Blizzard bug. As for timers still appearing outside of the battleground, I have hacked so many times to get that fixed, but I also believe that's a blizzard bug that it fires AFTER you leave :/

I'll have some more fixes out soon to try and counter a lot of these issues. But glad that my latest changes have helped reduce a lot of them.

[QartemisT]

Timer positionings and glitching should be resolved as of the latest DBM alpha.

Still looking into how or why timers can persist outside of the battlegrounds.
