Headless Horseman Bug / WoW Crashes / Freezing
So another Tuesday (extended) maintenace has taken place, and they still haven't fixed some of the major bugs and exploits affecting WoW.
- The unlimited Justice Points bug can still be exploited on certain bags.
- Gold making exploits are still working.
- The missing Glyphs are still missing.
But the biggest issue of all (atleast to me anyways) is the random disconnection during WSG (while trying to pick up the flag) or during the Hallows Eve (Headless Horseman) event.
If you mouse-over on the pumpkin (or the WSG flag, or many other items involving the cogwheel), there's a major bug in it's tool tip information causing your WoW client to lockup. You pretty much have to use Task Manager to kill the wow.exe client and re-launch it.
Here's the workaround however, until Blizzard fixes it permanently.
Create two macros:
1. Turn OFF Tooltips (click this before highlighting the pumpkin or flag)
/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);
2. Turn ON Tooltips (click this if you want your tooltips turned back on)
/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);
It's worked so far on all of my accounts and my friends accounts, so it should be fine.
Good luck!
