WoW locks up with cosmos...

[turtal]

Ok due to the new WoW interface, I uninstalled cosmos to get WoW working right again, and I realized I really love cosmos, so I want it back and working right with WoW. Well my problem is when I disable everything new from the patch (second, third etc bars) the confilcted with cosmos, I enter the game and lock up right after logging in. Im not sure what would be causing this problem, but I could use some help to figure it out, thanks!
:D

[turtal]

Ok, nevermind. I figured it out finally.
I'm so smart.

[Truin]

Ok, i'm not so smart and haven't figured it out. What did you do to solve the problem?

Someone please enlighten me.

I've been having strange lockups when trying to login... but I assumed it was just problems with the auth servers being down, or the world crashing at the time i'm trying to log in,

Because, when I can get in later... cosmos works fine for me (except for the known bugs).

[Truin]

Yea, I've heard about the Authentication problem.. but this isn't my problem. After my character loads, I get in the game and everything is cool for about 2 seconds - then the game locks up and I get disconnected. After I log back in a few times, the problem ceases. But the next time I log in, the problem is there again. I'm pretty sure this is cosmos related since I can eliminate the problem if i delete the interface folder. But I can't live without my cosmos :( Any suggestions? I don't know how Turtal solved it..

[Truin]

This is really pissing me off. And I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. I know someone out there does....

I try version from 24-s march - the same :(
When I disable sky and all of it dependence - all work fine...

[Marsman]

Have you done a /chatlist to see if all your channels look ok?
If your chat system is all screwed up with chat channels all spaming things, it's possible to be disconnected for flooding. When that happens, game motion just stops dead for like a half a minute, then you are dropped to a Disconnected window and you have to log in again.
If it's a flood disconnect, you need to find the source of the flood and fix it. Sky is just the conduit the flood uses, not the source itself.

In order to get Cosmos to work for me (Cosmos Alpha 3/23) I just had to disable addons based on the errors recieved. For instance, taking out this got rid of my errors:

ChatTimeStamps
Pop NUI
Quest Minion
Tackle Box
Trans NUI
Combat Caller

As soon as I download and use the new Alpha will prolly have to go thru the same thing. Can't wait till Cosmos 2 comes out

I have had to revert to the 3-18 release to get everything I wanted on my GUI - back to working again. Since I now must use ct-mod to get the right/left sidebars and bottom toolbar working. Also use both Norganna's & Telo's addons with the exception of his sidebar which conflcts with both cosmos and blizzard's, before I got ct-mod.

I liked the older versions of Cosmos that allowed things to lock, yet it seems that the more fixes, the more problems there are. I understand that Blizzard changed alot, but cosmos just went along for the ride. My choice it to still use cosmos, however the cosmos choices are rather few since some mods need it and the moveable frames option seems to workbetter with cosmos.

If cosmos, or those that are developers would explain how to add things to the menu, this would help. And having read the UI/Macro forum on blizzard and here, it seems that those that understand this better than us non-programmers - really don't help by not explaining their work or by having notes, causing another person to post to ask how you do this or that.

Below are the addons I use for my GUI:

AF_Tooltip: enabled (full features still and is simple - undo guild in cosmos - double posts)
AltSelfCast: enabled
AssistMe: enabled
Atlas: enabled ( displays on the cosmos menu, nothing else does)
Auctioneer: enabled (Norganna's with Telo's lootlink)
BadRep: disabled ( not as good as basic reputation - conflicts and gives negative reports occasionally if you rest to long)
BankStatement: enabled (characters must goto bank to initialize)
bc_TrackingMenu: enabled (very helpful in saving toolbar spaces for hunter's tracking icons.)
BetterItemCount: enabled (cosmos)
BetterKeyBinding: enabled (cosmos)
BuffTimers: enabled (Like min and secs - this could be Telo's)
CastTime: enabled
ChatScroll: enabled ( really helpful - be nice to remove the up/down arrows as an option)
ChatTimeStamps: disabled (not needed unless you have to report harrassment)
Chronos: enabled ( necessary for varios mod dependancy )
CombatStats: disabled (not important to me)
Cosmos: enabled (3-18 release version - basic functions)
CT_Core: - Required for menu, seems better than cosmos - be nice if both were universal and worked together.
CT_AllBags: enabled
CT_BagMod: enabled
CT_BarMod: enabled
CT_BuffMod: enabled
CT_ItemBuffs: enabled
CT_LevelMod: enabled
CT_MailMod: enabled
CT_MapMod: enabled
CT_MasterMod: enabled
CT_MovableParty: enabled
CT_PartyBuffs: enabled
CT_PartyHealth: enabled
CT_PlayerNotes: enabled
CT_QuestLevels: enabled
CT_RaidAssist: enabled
CT_Tickmod: enabled
CT_Timer: enabled (not sure what this is for - may remove)
CT_UnitFrames: enabled (better side and bottom bars, like cosmos had orginally - but increases R/L side bars from 6, 9 to 12 max each side)
EasyMail: enabled
Enchantrix: enabled (Norganna's )
EquipCompare: enabled (Blizzard indicates out of date, be nice if it was updated as it is usefull when deciding what to keep or what you already are using.)
Gatherer: enabled (Norganna's )
GuildOrg: enabled ( helpful but could be better as I run a guild )
ImprovedErrorFrame: enabled
InfoBar: enabled (Telo's with clock, money and player coodinates in a narrow moveable [locks-remembers postition] bar on the main GUI, some other items that I don't use or think are necessary)
Insomniax_Atlas_Shell: enabled (helps with mini map buttons)
ItemBuff: enabled
Karma: enabled
Libram: disabled ( not needed or understand what its used for - could be that the mods that it helps are not being used by me.)
LootLink: enabled (1.30 Telo's required for Norganna's )
MapCoords: enabled ( there seems to be 3 of these, so I disabled the colored one that cosmos has since it overlaps 2 of them - the othe appears in the upper left corner, but I don't look there since the bottom one has better placement)
MapNotes: enabled
MapNotesNoteTarget: enabled
MobHealth: enabled
MobileFrames: enabled (in cosmos works better than if as single addons )
MonitorStatus: enabled (use this feature as its a cosmos item)
MonkeyBuddy: enabled
MonkeyQuest: enabled ( helps better than blizzard's or others - simple)
MovableBags: enabled ( Ct-Mods' needed since new WoW patch messed them up)
MozzFullWorldMap: enabled ( the one with 35% opacity)
Notepad: disabled (seems to conflict with playernotes and mapnotes)
PetMonitor: enabled
QuickLoot: enabled
ReagentHelper: disabled (works but double posts with norganna's auction)
Reputation: enabled
RestXPToGo: enabled (leftside exp bar, not so important, nice to have)
RogueHelper: enabled
RollSafely: enabled
Sea: enabled ( needed dependancy on various mods - good library item)
SelfCast: enabled (cosmos is better then ct-mods cause option can be seen to choose)
SideBar: disabled (Telo's conflicts and is similar to blizzards)
Sky: enabled ( Cosmos forces use - to be needed by other mods )
TackleBox: enabled ( really nice and should be kept - cosmos)
TooltipsBase: enabled ( cosmos menu choices - maybe redundant with AF_Tooltip.)
TooltipsColorTarget: enabled
TooltipsEliteTarget: enabled
TooltipsGuildTarget: enabled (disabled in game to prevent double posts)
TooltipsLevelTarget: enabled ( still works upto 62 - except on Thrall who is higher)
TooltipsPlayerTarget: enabled
TooltipsPropsTarget: enabled
TooltipsPVPTarget: enabled
TransNUI: enabled
TTW_Tooltip: enabled ( helps lock the AF_Tooltip - anywhere on the GUI by way of a draggable target icon)
WorldMapInfo: enabled
XPToGo: enabled (right side exp bar - not so important)
ZoneLevel: enabled ( works for various characters and is simple)
I prefered Cosmos , as I have been using it since beta, and finally broke down to get the features from ct-mod since the 3-23-2005 update/patch from blizzard. I lke the option to have the art work on the toolbars which both allow.

With the latest changes everything I had setup took 2 days to reset again across all characters, update .toc files, and find all addon mods that would work again. Had to delete latest cosmos alpha to have everything work with NO Errors in this setup.

Only think is that the Cosmos button on the mini-map is not accurate and this could be cause of the other buttons there now, and this is not that bad of a problem. Some of the above items maybe redundant, yet seem to work - as with this setup - latency is down a bit, and mod memory does not max out as it had been.

Also to note - tried getting gypsy to work as well to see what it offered, and the amount of errors was rather sever, so it was deleted. These errors were causes by having Cosmos, Ct-mod and gypsy all on at once when I progessively added them after each restart.

Sky presents a problem to me as I don't really have any use for it, since its mostly a communications for mod developers and I rarely talk to anyone. Why that Cosmos is forcing sky to be a dependancy for other mods in the release is not as essential as in the alpha.

I would like to see the cosmos group get their program back to being stable - perhaps they might consider getting ct-mod and others to be on the same menu page or the components to all work together. Bad enough Blizzard keeps changing things and causing more work and frustration each and every patch to all mod programmers, thus limiting them from actually playing.

Thank you for a great program, it has really helped me in this game.

I have the same problem with disconnects. BUT only on 1 computer. It must tie in with the network bridge. My home computer will connect and I've learned just to wait for about 5-20 secs and it will disconnect and I can then reenter and all is fine.

My son's computer has no problems (it connects through the same router and cable modem) nor does my office (yes I know WOW on an office computer ???) computer. Both connect immediatly and stay connected.

Whether it's the network interface, video card, I don't know but it is computer specific problem.

Best guess is it's the MSI Neo 2 Platinum nvidia 3 motherboard for me. I'm upgrading again. Be interesting to see if the DFI Ultra with the Nvidia 4 chipset and a new 6600 vidio card solves the problem.

First off go to http://www.wowwiki.com/Cosmos_AddOns and look at the deleted addons. Remove them from your AddOns folder. This will fix many of your problems. If not then back up your current AddOns folder and install the current Release or Alpha of Cosmos. If the problem persists with a clean Cosmos install then disable addons until you figure out which one is causing it or at least fixes the problem when disabled. Then come tell us which one it is and what exactly the problem is, what you think causes it and any suggestion for correcting the problem.

That will make it much easier for use to narrow down and fix and much more willing to help. Just seeing addons no longer supported in your addon list is discouraging and means that you are not taking care of your installation. It is your job to change the oil every 3000 miles. Please don't complain to us if you haven't done standard maintinance and your engine blows.

Plus if you know it is a hardware problem then it is not our fault. We may need to know about it, but hardware specific problems should be directed to the blizzard tech support forum.

Why that Cosmos is forcing sky to be a dependancy for other mods in the release is not as essential as in the alpha.

Cosmos doesn't force anything to use Sky. If it is dependant on Sky then it is using Sky for its features or library functions. Cosmos does nto require Sky, but will use the extra functionality if it is enabled. If you don't want to use Sky then you don't have to. You just won't be able to use anything they uses its functionality. It's that simple.

consider getting ct-mod and others to be on the same menu page

Khaos in Cosmos2 is an attempt towards making the gui config not a Cosmos-only thing and more open for others to use.

Try disabling Libram and Partyquests.. I had this problem on one of my toons. I could log and play all of my toons except for one until i disabled libram. I read in some thread that it's because of a corruption of savedvariables. I was a bit leery of totally starting from scratch and losing settings from many many mod's so i chucked partyquests which is the only dependency of libram i know of.
