Memory leak is when something allocated memory and doesn't give it back, so it would only grown more and more. We're actually trying to reproduce the issue, but I personally seem to be unable to get it happen in my setup yet.
    You mean like when the addon takes more and more memory until it crashes?

      I just neither have a windows nor directx at all
      I am using all the recommended settings by blizzard. I don't mean to sound rude but I'm not comfortable changing things from what blizzard suggests to support an addon.

        Ok so I continued troubleshooting and people kept mentioning ants off which really didn't help me find it. So I enclosed a screen shot for people because turning the feature off seemed to fix the issue. I also noticed if I just turn off the arrow it also fixes the issue but I am assuming that also in turn removes the ants.

          Just to add when I disable the ants from showing the leveling guide for farming pretty much becomes unusable because it no longer changes to the next path. This in itself may have something to do with the issue?

          Tried installing TomTom to see what would happen. It recognizes when I have a 1 point but not multiple points. I think the issue here is how the multiple points are being coded and translated. If TomTom isn't being shown the points then I am left to assume that multiple point locations are completely dependent on the ants. Which becomes a resource hog and lags things out and freezes it due to it doing all points at once rather than 1 by 1.

            Update. We added a profiling system to the addon, which would hopefully allows us to track the issue down. It's being under development at the moment to ensure it's crashproof, so I'll comment in this thread in the next couple of days detailing how one can use it to pinpoint the problem.

            I did by no means to ask you change your settings, but for this bug to be resolved swiftly we need to be sure that it's the bug of Zygor itself and not the graphical subsystem of WoW. I don't presently have an option to test it in DirectX because my system.. doesn't have it at all. Once again, Zygor Guides neither do nor will require you to set something like this in order to use them, however, I was wondering if you could set it, tell if the problem persists, and set back to what settings your game uses right now.

            Those two bugs seem to be separate. The ants only concern gathering professions guides.

            Precisely. I can't readily tell what would happen in WoW if an addon leaks, and moreover, I can't really imagine such thing happening with Lua's automatic memory management, but I think if it does happen, WoW just either restarts the Lua engine or suspends the addon in question. Either way, noticeable slowdowns because of high memory usages are only possible if your system is seriously starving, that is, as if Zygor took 200-300 Mb, which, supposedly is not the case.

            I guess they are separate as said above. However, ants slowdown have already been addressed in the past and it seems like a new bug with it. I wonder if you could detail it please?

              Well I'm using the latest version of the guide. When I disable the ants the guide no longer moves to the next path selected for the herbalism guide unless it is to a specific location like the trainer. If I install TomTom it doesn't even recognize the paths for gather and only recognizes locations like visiting the trainer. So basically with ants off which is the only way to stop my lag the guide then will tell me to go to X route when I reach 0 (as I have reached the location) it just sits there. The only way to get it to go to the next path is to go back one step then back again to the collecting part. Not really sure how I was supposed to add more detail to something I thought I covered but I tried my best.

              As far as the OpenGL system I have access to Directx9 and Directx11 so in order to fill your request I would have needed to install and change settings.

                To run WoW in OpenGL mode all you have to do is add the "-opengl" (minus quotes) switch to the run. See below.

                This


                becomes


                To go back to D3D afterwards, use -d3d

                  I went a head and made a shortcut since I use zygor guides as my launcher then did the steps to make it opengl and still have all the same issues I stated before. Has anything new been discovered with this at all? At this point all the guide does it to tell me when to train and I could have done that by looking at my professions window.

                  If there is anything else I can try to do please give a detailed explanation of how and if I can do it I will.

                    I'll stop posting in this thread as I found this one in general discussion http://www.zygorguides.com/forum/sho...farming-routes that seems to some how get more response than the one in the Bug and Error thread and seems to be related to my issue. This forum has way to many spots and they all get posted to incorrectly I hate coming to the site purely for having to figure out where an issue is and hope to get help with it if need be.

                      I don't see ants in this equation yet, unfortunately, but the TomTom and Carbonite behaviour with gathering steps have been fixed and optimized. This seems to be unrelated to the main bug of this thread, though. I'm not quite ready to produce the instructions on how to catch it with newly-included CPU profiler, but it will follow soon.

                        True but I'm honestly happy with at least a valid work around as without the arrow working when ants is off you might as well say the solution is to just close the guide lol. Will this update be pushed soon?

                          There was an update today that included this but it has another graphical bug now when you use the B key to open your bags. The team are aware of it and trying to get it fixed ASAP.

                            The glitch was found to have nothing to do with this topic, and also have just been fixed.

                              I meant that the update addressed the ants and arrows but there was a new glitch with the bags.

                              As you said you have the bag glitch fixed, we just now need to wait for Zygor to push the button to make it live.

                                Those two are actually not connected at all. Please refer to the relevant thread, I've posted a temporary remedy against black bags thing there.
