Talent Advisor giving a script error

[doctorbj]

I'm surprised no one else has reported it, but when I log on I get the script error below.
This occurs with guide off or on, but not with guide on and talent advisor off.
I've disabled other addons without change. Thanks!

Anyway here is the script error message:

Nothing in the bug report is about the Talent Advisor or the Guide either. Seems to be a problem with the Blizzard Talent UI. There should be a list of Blizzard addons in the addon section where you select a character go and see if it's checked and uncheck it and see if that fixes your problem.

Also moving this to the Talent Advisor bug section.

This normally isn't in the Addons listing Chaos.

Doctorbj, try going into your AddOns folder and deleting the Blizzard_TalentUI folder. This will force the game client to get a fresh copy of it and hopefully fix the LUA error.

I can't remember if that specific one is shown but I have these blizzard things I can choose in mine. I think I started getting them in there since 4.0.1 maybe 4.0.3. But they are in there and named blizzard something I usually don't mess with them since I have other addons that changes those so they are all turned off for me and automatically too. With 4.0.6 it may have changed that you have to go turn them off manually. I'll check tomorrow sometime and give a screenshot of them.

For me.. if I turn the talent advisor on, I get the same error at login. Opening the advisor tab also causes an error.

Turning off the talentadvisor addon makes the errors go away. Either way, the talent advisor is not functional.

If everyone gets this error it may be due to changes Blizzard made.

Talent advisor is OK for me but when I click the Glyphs tab I get a script error and instead of showing glyph recommendations the window just contains

grp1
grp2
grp3

[Cartman]

Also no problems logging in, maybe it's related to some classes / specs.
I tested with a fury warrior.

Opening the advisor in the glyph screen gave me the error mzanker mentions:

We are aware of these errors today and we are working on getting them fixed. Thanks for the reports everyone

[doctorbj]

Hi all.
I'm the original poster.
Just wanted to update that removing the Blizzard Talent UI from the addon directory and allowing the game to rebuild it solved the problem.
Thanks for everyone's help and sorry for putting the original post in the wrong section.
Somehow i missed that section.

Thanks for the update. This will help us to solve this problem for other people as well before going into the coding looking for errors

I'M still getting this LUA error, even after deleting the Blizzard_TalentUI.

Only happens when I have the Zygor Talent Advisor on, and whenever I summon a ghoul, dismiss a ghoul (manually or by mounting) or use Dark Tranformation or come back form it.

Thanks for looking this up.

[doctorbj]

Original poster again. I am still getting the messge when I level and a new talent point becomes available, but not otherwise.

Oh yeah, I just logged in my Warlock too, and get the same thing as on my DK, whenever I summon or dismiss a demon. And it doesn't happen if I disable Talent Advisor. I really can't figure out what Zygor's Talent Advisor and the Blizzard Talent UI have to do with summoning or dismissing pets...
