"Too Many Anchors processed"

[James405]

I am not sure how to trouble shoot this error. It seems to have to do with conflicts between addons. The message appears to imply an upper bound on something.

This will show up if you have a nested XML defined control set and try to define additional an anchors on one of the children. You can anchor the children at runtime with lua if need to. It's a parser limitation at add-on launch.

Sorry to sound like a newb but what does this mean in layman's terms, and is there a way to fix it? Thanks in advance

Well first of all:

1. Disable all addons
2. Enable them one by one - reload the UI after enabling each one
3. Stop enabling addons when the error appears and note the name of the last enabled addon
4. Check back here for further reference / help (and of course post the addon-name and version noted in step 3.) :

I'm pretty sure, this is standart API limitation for the anchors.

First seen by me after one of the latest Combat Cloud updates and I've maid little investigation there. Let me quote myself:

I've made some investigation: I'm just checking off another addons one by one and look if the anchors error happens. So, here is results: Error still exists without: Achievment tracker Advanced filters Autohide helmet Bank Stuffer Rapid Chant Fats Report Wikkid Outfitter Wikkid Mail Return Bot Skyshards by Garkin Group Leader Inventory Item Borders PL Combat Indicator Rainbow Rectile Softcap Info Sous Chef Tooltip Enhance Tamriel Time Xtime stamp ZAM buff display But if I uncheck 2 or more of this addons - error is gone too Error didn't pops without: Advanced Autoloot AI Research grid Azurah Wikkid Quest tools Combat Cloud Combat Log Statistics Loot Drop Loot Filter Research Assistant Simple Combat Alerts Tool Box T's Chat Coloriser ZR Mini Map Seems like this is not your addon error - this is ingame API limit for anchors...

I just recently started to get this error. Is it just an annoyance and pop up every time you reloadui and zone or is it serious? I wish minon had a installed by date so I can see what I installed last. lol

Actually guys, I dont think this is any addons at all... I may be stupid for saying this but i've been getting the same problem, when I was looking into it I decided to do the following step by step:

1. Move all addons to another folder and move them in 1 by 1
2. Look for issues where they didn't clearanchors before setting anchors.
3. Uncheck all addons except for 1 in game then reloadui starting with ZrMinimap.
4. Check addons 1 by 1 to determine what is causing it.

What I found while checking was that Minion.exe's were still open holding onto certain files / folders.
When I killed the executables and reinstalled the addon manually everything started working correctly.

I have been doing all manual updates since Early Access and I started getting the error last week.

I have never used Minion, and the errors are still there, and still go away depending on how many and which addons I activate.

Luckily the one error I receive can be dismissed at character login and will not return during that session until I log out or change characters.

I'm seeing this issue now as well, and it only seems to be when I get a certain combo of add ons, and it doesn't have to be too many of them.

Is this just an annoyance or does it actually impede the function of the add ons?
