He created the addon, but its their network the information has to be transfered on.... If their network craps out, the addon obviously isn't going to work. Did you read any of the previous posts which tried to explain some of this?

Edit:

Having 10 IRL bnet friends online with Battle.net also doesn't mean anything. Unless you are sending hundreds of messages a minute to each one of your friends than it won't even come close to the amount of traffic oQueue can generate.

I also am in the boat of not ever using the battle.net desktop client and getting 2 things:

* Frequent b.net disconnects when using oQueue

* Massive raid lag when oQueue is enabled, especially when going between wings (zones) in SoO

If I /reload, both go away for awhile and then come back. If I disable oQueue everything is smooth.

The issues definitely started for me back when Blizzard changed the API to force addons to use the b.net backchannel instead of via PMs.

Note: I'm not blaming oQueue here. I never reported this from the beginning because I believe they are issues with battle.net's infrastructure not being adequate to handle massive backchannel communications. It would be great if Tiny can find ways to circumvent the issue or tune things to improve them but if he can't find the right way to do that there isn't much he can do.

When I get into a raid I usually log out and disable oQueue until I get out or need it again. I'd use "go dark" but it doesn't persist between /reloads and it re-enables whenever I open my character screen (to display item levels). If those 2 things could be tweaked it would at least allow us to disable it easier ... but that doesn't fix the core problem. Blizzard needs to improve their battle.net servers and allow for larger and more frequent messages before the core problem will go away.

Ok for one Battle.net is the Road, the Players are the Cars, and Oqueue is the Pot Hole, lets all be clear about that. I run absolutely no addons except Oqueue when I am puggin cause the addon is soo buggy. When I finally find a good group I say brb log out disable Oqueue and continue raiding the pug. I dont mind Oqueue being the pot hole on the road, as there are many pot holes on the roads but we all need to get to our destinations. But for you guys to blame Bnet or other addons is bogus. I use the hell out of Oqueue, and I will continue to use it and tell other to DL it from your site, but there will always be the disclaimer that Oqueue is very VERY buggy and has crashed my game, cause me to connect and disconnect from Bnet which has cause raid wipes (again excusing my self while I disable OQ). But let it be known that when my OQ is off I never experience crashes nor Bnet log on and off lag. So there is def someting wrong with your addon. Unfortunately you are the only addon that I know of that puts groups together with ilvl and raid xp in te info tab, so Im carrying a few extra tires in my players car while I drive down the Bnet road, all the time trying not to get a flat tire when I hit the OQ pot holes.

I have no idea what drugs you're using Talamar but I have never, and I do mean never, seen oQ crash WoW.

Hell I don't remember when the last time it was that WoW crashed in the first place - your issue lies elsewhere.

please team solidice fix dat problem... is not about bnt client app problem.. always disconected problem have to wait 10 minute to invite someone

Just wanted to let others know that the disconnect does not go away if you stop using the battle.net desktop app. I still experience disconnects and screen freezes.

Hello everyone,

I have studied this thread for a while. Apart from those who are just intended to insult OQ's coder I am here to post my review of the addon-usage for a couple of months.

First off I am having the same kind of issues that have been adressed in this thread earlier.

- FPS stuttering when OQ is turned on
- frequent Battle.net disconnects when OQ is turned on
- huge lagspikes in arenas / rbgs when OQ is still enabled / turned on
- it takes more than 5 minutes before OQ sets yourself on a waitlist you have clicked earlier
- it takes more than 5 minutes to invite people from the waitlist. Those are joining the party even though you are full for like 5 minutes already
- Chat-Spam: "You aren't in a party" when joining random BGS / sometimes even RBG's when OQ is turned on


To solve I have tried the following without any serious changes:

- checked my system for possible updates / issues = no issues could be found (drivers, antivirus etc.)
- Run wow without battle.net-client => no solve
- run wow without any other addons than OQ turned on => no solve
- run wow in 32bit-version without any other addons turned on than OQ => no solve
- run wow on a totally different machine with a total different internetprovider => no solve / same issues
- engage arenas with trying to disable oq and the toggle bnet command => no solve

Then I have tried the following that finally solved this issue:

- Join OQ-Grp; engage arenas / rbgs without oq (literally logging out and disabling the addon) => Solved <=

To be honest i was facing this kind of problems since the latest versions before 1.8.x. If I remember right it all started when Blizzard changed something to API-behaviour and OQ stopped working for a couple of days.

The updates that came after this got me stuck in these issues - eversince.

Hope this information helps.
Looking forward to a more stable version of OQ again ;-)

Keep up the good work.

Best Regards,
Markus

I dont use the battle.net app and this still happens to me. Though, since the 1.8.9 update, it happens FAR less.

EDIT: I also had the issue of my chat lagging on the other person's end.

Edit:

I think the main reason for getting those frequent disconnects from battle.net resides in the fact if you have too many bnet-mesh-friends added by oq.

Whenever I cross the breakeven of 6 added bnet-mesh-nodes, battle.net starts disconnecting.
Have in mind that I have also tested this with 6 custom bnet-friends whom are not using OQ aswell.

Too much traffic then caused by meshupdates or something?

Btw. I am Diluvium. Couldnt recover my account for some reason.

Hello, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that if OQ sends too much comunication over Bnet the servers kick you from Bnet shortly and re connect you. as in to stop spam if there were a bug and OQ that kept broadcasting spam.

Also if my friends list get close to full the game crashes.
