i downloaded the Jamba addon for my duel accounts. [LOVED IT] but the only problem i had was it severely lowered my frame rate, [when i attacked a mob, my fps was 0-1] then no matter what toon i was on whenever i went into a bg or dungeon my wow would stop responding and freeze. the problem went away immidiately after i removed the addon. :[ this sucks i was enjoying it. any ideas how to fix it?
Can't say I've seen this problem on live servers. Are you getting errors? Running other mods? What are your system specs?
i was never getting any error messages.
64 bit windows 7
Processor: AMD Athlon II x2 215 processor 2.70GHz
3gigs RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
besides Jamba i only had a few small addons like.. DBM, xtolvl
Maybe there's a conflict with another addon. Jamba is divided into several modules so perhaps you could try disabling them (from the 'addons' button at the bottom of the characters screen) one after the other until either all are disabled or the issue is solved.
The addon author is constantly adding new features. New code tends to have some bugs. But I dont have the problem you have. Its hard to take you seriouly with a name like afkatm14 and only 2 posts. Are you a troll or a griefer? Why do you come into our forum with misleading information? Im sorry if you really do have a problem but more than likely its not Jamba. Turn down the graphic quality in your slave especially turn down the view distance. disable any unessential addons on your slave that you dont realy need like Recount and Gearscore. Lastly you may have two addons fighting to do the same thing. For example Jamba sells greys. You may have another addon that sells grays too. Turn on "show lua errors" in your main menu settings to get a hint on your addon errors. Even the best written addons have errors but if you see the error count in the hundreds or thousands then you know something is wrong.
lol. afkatm14 is my username for everything, its even my email. and the reason i deceided to post on here for the first time would be because i am having the problem >.> [i just made the account, im not much on forums] . anyways, i already have my grafics as low as possible, ill just have to try jamba by its self.
okay, well i tried jamba without any other addons and im still having problems. [i lagged out before i could get a bg pop] everything was fine as i was waiting for the bg to pop to see if it would freeze up again then randomly everything got REALLY laggy, i was at "0 fps" which was a problem i was having earlier too, but i didnt get that problem till i tried to mount up, or attack a mob. also my loading screens are taking forever, literally like 2 mins on the screen to get logged in. But anyways, this 0fps caused my wow to stop responding, like it was doing before. now when i dont have this addon enabled i am at 20-26 fps and have no crazy lag spikes or problems with loading screens or bgs.
Have you disabled just the QuestHelper part of Jamba? Jamba- Getting Started TL;DR
Do you have the latest version? 0.7e is the latest
If you download it from somewhere else, you might be getting an old version.
I have a crap-ton of addons aside from Jamba and don't notice any issues like this across 5 accounts.
well i tried disabling the quest watcher part, and still had the lag. also i downloaded the latest version from wow.jafula.com and to avoid confusion i do not have any other addons enabled.
The addon itself is modular so you can attempt to disable one module at a time until you're down to just the core itself...Quote:

Bizarre. Jamba doesn't do any processing itself on the OnUpdate function which is usually the cause of bad fps. However, the libraries Jamba uses do, but they have never caused problems. Have tried deleting your cache, interface and wtf folders and starting over?
This is a good idea, although I would suggest renaming rather than deleting. =)Quote:

So clearly Jamba has to be causing the issue... Im wondering if maybe something in my computer is making Jamba not work out?
So does the problem persist even with a clean/empty WTF folder?
i.e. Jamba is the only addon and you've renamed the WTF folder BEFORE launching WoW. (this resets ALL settings though, live video, sound, etc)
If so, I'm stumped.
yeah, i tried that twice.
im stumped too. I really wanted to use this addon and i loved what i could use of it
Have you tried what Fenril suggested so we can at least try to narrow down what part of Jamba is causing the issues? Many of us are running Jamba across 5 or more accounts and don't see any issue remotely like this.
