Could someone look into the viable functionality of setting a Max loc range for mapfilter to actively update? i.e. mapfilter named filters by # or capital letters... why not have it check Loc range? Should not be a hard line to add.
if dist=>## then(hide)
I think that might increase the overall viability of the plugin, especially if it loads automatically by default. Maybe set it for loc ranges as tiers? Zonewide vs camp, vs pull area? I think, beyond ANY other improvement to MQ... this might increase stability for the layman who just wants it to work without all the crashies.
(Sorry... I meant to give 2cp... gave 4... can i has change plxx?)
[EDITED: Think Z-axis height filter, but for Distance.]

I will also try unloading those plugins. I am having the bad luck (crashes) while zoning mainly, but also I have just been pulling with a new group Paladin and my cleric keeps crashing just sitting there on their mount trying heal/buff.
On a side note, not sure if this is related, but it seems my /travelto is really hit or miss since the patch as well. I checked I had all the updated meshes, but it is also like 50/50 when I travel to EW when I'm in a zone with a Magus if it will detect the route to North Ro or not. If I make sure to be in Nro before issuing the camp works every time.

Not sure if more Crash ID screencaps are useful, but here are a couple more. One from a Shaman, one from a Mage, both using CWTN plugins and always when zoning. I forgot how much fun new expansion days are. Updated meshes, crashes with and without using /travelto. Will unload mq2maps in case thats the culprit.

Yesterday, everytime I zoned with my 6-char-team 1 to 2 chars ctd. Wasn’t too big of an issue as once I reached LS i stayed mostly in zone.
After my session I checked here and found this thread. About 1 our ago, I logged in and unloaded mq2map on all chars. No ctd since.
For me it seems mq2map is the source of the case.
I don’t use spawnmaster.
Many thanks to @Sic for the hint.

if you are using mq2map and anything else like that - mq2spawnmaster - unload that for the time being.
it would actually want to be anything using OnAddSpawn
until the issue is properly root causted, any of these plugins have the potential to cause an issue because it *appears* to be related to "OnAddSpawn"
I would start with unloading MQ2Map, MQ2SpawnMaster, MQ2Paranoid, MQ2GMCheck, and MQ2Autosize

Thanks. Not sure if this helps, but sharing...
Of the plugins listed above, MQ2Map and MQ2AutoSize were turned on.
6man group would have 1 or 2 chars error/crash each time they zoned.
Turned off MQ2Map
Left on MQ2AutoSize (accidentally... I'm just noticing it's on)
6man group zoned 5 times, no crashes.
Turning off MQ2Map seems to have resolved the crashes for me.
Thank you.
it also seems to be a Mq2map issue for myself
unloaded mq2map and now i can zone without crashing, where before if i zoned 6 chars, anything from 1-4 would crash, zoned 3-4 times now 6 chars, nothing
been a hour since ive unloaded mq2map and not had a single crash since, happy to be able to find a resoulation,
first and only thing ive unloaded and it seems to be working for me

i wouldn't put it past them to have introduced yet more crash bugs, they said in their faq on personas that additional info has to be moved during each zone transition w/ those
you guys seen the bug when on a raid where one person crashes, then a cascade of people crash one after the other?
when it starts happening i have all my guild peops log to desktop and then log back in otherwise eventually everyone crashes
would love any input on any of these even if they aren't mq2 related
well, once the issue is figured out it'll be patched up and i'm sure folks will be talking about it again (and folks who didn't bother patching will be told to patch after they say they're still crashing)
I made 2 lua if someone wants to copy and paste.
Lua:
-- Restarting the plugins that need to be restarted after zoning
local mq = require 'mq'
--mq.cmd('/plugin mq2afnuke')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2autosize')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2GMCheck')
--mq.cmd('/plugin mq2moveutils')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2nav')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2paranoid')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2spawnmaster')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2map')
mq.cmd('/lua run alertmaster')
Lua:
--Code to run before you zone.
local mq = require 'mq'
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2autosize unload')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2GMCheck unload')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2moveutils unload')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2nav unload')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2paranoid unload')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2spawnmaster unload')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2map unload')
mq.cmd('/lua stop alertmaster')
hi , MQ2enchanter still crashing session on loading it
MQ2spawnmaster & MQ2maps still not loaded , so i ve still a problem with MQ2enchanter
MQ2spawnmaster & MQ2maps still not loaded , so i ve still a problem with MQ2enchanter
crash dmp please.
because there was 1 crash related to enchanter which was due to being low level and only having 1 aura - all the rest of the crashes that are prevalent don't have anything to do with mq2enchanter.
Dropping maps and paranoid before zoning appears to stop the crashes (it's intermittent so I can't be sure). However, that does support the OnAddSpawn theory. Hopefully we can get a root cause soon - you guys do seem to get on issues quickly so I have faith!
