Repeated UI Error

Community General Discussion
1

I disabled all addons, and tried to build a UI from scratch. It throws an Anchor Family error when I first log in. Then I have to go into edit mode, expand the edit mode interface only to get this error after any change, checkbox, anything until I close the editor. It helps if I can manager to toggle on one of the presets (Modern or Classic) then go to the one I built. Can anyone give me a clue as to why I am getting these errors?

Very similar issue
 Just restarted and wanted to zip and out and now stuck with these bizarre load errors. Was loading a few hours ago and with all the patches now UI is hosed nad tons and tons of text errors like this. --Windows 10.

I don’t know why you’re getting this tbh. Esp. if you disabled all addons. Try clearing your cache and trying? I know it’d be a headache deleting the files and re-downloading your addons later. But you can also delete the WTF and Addons folder. Or just move them elsewhere temporarily. All I can think of, hope that someone else has better solutions.
