Void Torrent and Console Port #32

Closed thebaaj666 closed 7 years ago

thebaaj666 commented 7 years ago

After 7.2 dropped, I can no longer cast void Torrent while using Console Port. The game completely crashes any time void Torrent is used. I've been able to cast the spell when not using Console port, so I assume it has something to do with the way the add-on 'retrieves' the skill from the wow memory. Any help would be appreciated.

This is likely a game bug that has gone undetected with the release of 7.2 and not caused by ConsolePort specifically. ConsolePort does no such thing as 'retrieving the spell from memory'; it simply uses built in API to update the textures, cooldowns and counters on your action bar. Any action performed when pressing buttons on the action bar is handled by official code. There is no recurse in that scope, so the addon cannot cause a game freeze or crash by memory leak.

Thanks for the reply! I'll make an in game report.
