Restarting using KA after a break of some weeks, I noticed that the bards behavior changed.
As soon as a fight starts, it may happen that the bard starts toggling the twists like 5-6 times per seconds, not finishing any song anymore.
It occures any 2-3 mobs for me. Don't remember to have seen this happen before. Only way to stop it atm is to restart KA any 2-3 mobs.

Attempting to change:
MeleeTwistOn=1
to
MeleeTwistOn=0
the mq-output window is flooded with:

 

[lilwizzie]

On line 6288, need to add a space after the /if

 

[manydills]

This isn't in the Melee section, but in the top section: what do your TwistOn=, TwistMed=, and TwistWhat= lines say?

Also, personally I use MeleeTwistOn=2, which starts Melee twisting whenever there are mobs in the XTar window, rather than when the Bard's state is "combat". You might have good luck with that mode?

 

[Dragonslayer]

@manydills : didn't know about MeleeTwistOn=2
I changed to MeleeTwistOn=2 but no improvement

following the requested settings:
[CODE title="Twists"]TwistOn=1
TwistMed=5
TwistWhat=1 2 3 5
...
[Melee]
MeleeTwistOn=2
MeleeTwistWhat=8 9 6 5 10 1 6 3 4 6 5 11 12[/CODE]

only recent change: "MeleeTwistOn=2"
all the others are same as they have been since month

Just if songs may have some relation to the problem:

As there is seemingly an Error at line 6288, my feeling is, that something has changed about the bards behavior with the last update of Kissassist.
As I have no backup, is there a way to access to a kissassist version about 8-12 weeks ago, just to try and check if that version runs smooth?

 

[B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y]

For now the temporary solution is to set TwistMed and TwistWhat to the same single song.

 

[Dragonslayer]

@B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y : many, many thanks. That's a great improvement.
Disabled KA and went back to hotbutton-playing.
So beeing able to use KA again is a great improvement.

There is:

Combat Assist - KissAssist - History

www.redguides.com

I'll have to check my own Bard - your .ini lines look ok to me, and my Bard isn't having a problem twisting between melee and OOC, and I'm running the most current version. Odd.

 

[Dragonslayer]

@manydills : oh wow, had no idea, that all versions are accessible.
For today I finished my session, but will attempt to find time tomorrow, to find out, which version is the most recent one, working well with my ini. May can be useful to narrow down the issue for the developers.

Been trying to work on the Bard twisting issues, still needing more information from debug logs. Working with @B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y at the moment.

the temorary workaround does not work for me

 

[killergnome]

im having the same issue. Ive tried these solutions and nothing works.

 

[Dragonslayer]

The fix is under construction. I am confident, with the next update of kissassist it will be fixed.
@ctaylor22 sent me already a beta for the fix and I am running it for further checks.
Many thanks to @ctaylor22 for the energy and time spend to find the fix.

 

[ctaylor22]

Yea, I decided to just re-code the DoBardStuff routine. I am having a few people test it for now, so far so good.

 

[killergnome]

since the latest patch/update the bard is toggling again . Any idea on how to fix this please?

 

[ctaylor22]

What version/revision of KA are you running? Latest is 12.002.027

[killergnome]

sorry spoke with dragonslayer. Turns out it was just 1 ini i was using.. changed ini and it didnt happen.

 

[Incahoots]

Mines doing same. Tried different ini but same just stops. Will restart when I click to restart it like it's paused. Just have to be vigilant as it'll stop every 1 to 4 mobs.
