SoD Free Character Move LUA Error

Edited the LUA errors out as it does contain some information about the character. Not that many would understand it, but better to be safe.

Hi, my original problem was i couldnt transfer because of mail last night. They were able to resolve this but then I saw the red transfer error next to my character name. I then disable all my addons and now im getting the LUA errors as above. I hope this can be resolved quickly, tyia.

27

I am receiving a similar issue, same LUA error. I now have a red gear symbol next to the toons i attempted to transfer and red text saying there was an error with the transfer.

28

Hello,

Same issue. Been trying to transfer since last night (Tuesday) and have had the same LUA error in the past 24 hours. Other people in my guild were able to finally get through earlier this afternoon so I was surprised this was still down.

Ok my transfer processed. The only thing i did was rename wtf,interface and cache folders. This didnt work so i deleted the new folders and returned the original folders. Im not sure if this worked or if someone did something but now the error is gone and now i have 1 day and 22 hours to wait. Better than nothing i guess, tyia if you fixed this :slight_smile:

30

THIS process DOES NOT work for me. I removed the wtf, interface, cache folder and still had lua error.

31

Same here.

Renamed cache/wtf/interface then launched wow- saw it created new folders.

Tried to transfer to Crusader Strike and got the LUA Error: Message: …/Blizzard_StoreUI/Vanilla/Blizzard_StoreUISecure.lua:2342: attempt to concatenate local ‘str’ (a nil value)

Closed game, removed new WTF/Cache/Interface folders, brought back in the old WTF/Cache/Interface and launched WoW. Tried transferring and hit the same error again.

Out of curiosity I then tried to transfer one of my alts who i hadn’t tried yet and… the alt encountered the same LUA error.

Game is still letting me log into Living Flame on both chars

32

So i went on another char on my account waiting for the transfer. I logged out of my alt and noticed that the char i want to transfer didnt have the gear symbol next to my name. I went to the transfer screen and it was available. Tried to transfer and got the lua error again, gg

33

Update, my main character has transfered to crusader strike (this toon), the remaining 3 have not. Not sure if the forum gods pushed it through or if it just worked, but it may just take some time for it to resolve.

Good luck all

34

Now i need this toon to get through :smiley:

35

I’m having the same LUA error :confused:

Same issue here

Full Disclaimer I am not a programmer but I may know an AI…

This error message you’re seeing is related to Lua, the programming language used by the World of Warcraft interface. The error occurs when the program tries to concatenate (join together) a value that doesn’t exist (nil). Let’s break it down:

  • Error: “Attempt to concatenate local ‘str’ (a nil value)”
    • The program is trying to add or combine (concatenate) a string (str) with something else, but str is nil (it has no value). In Lua, you can’t concatenate nil values with strings.
  • Location of the error:
    • It happens at line 2342 in the Blizzard_StoreUISecure.lua file. This is a part of the code that likely handles store-related UI actions.
  • The relevant part of the code:
    • str = nil: This is where the problem occurs. The variable str is expected to have some value, but it’s nil at this point.
    • StoreVASValidationFrame_AppendError: The function where the error happens. It tries to handle an error related to character validation, but the string it’s working with (str) hasn’t been properly set.
  • What might be causing it:
    • The function might expect some data (like a character’s name, race, or server) but didn’t receive it, leading to str being nil. For example, if the character data is incomplete or the API didn’t return something correctly, the string ends up empty.

Hi,

My character transfer still states, “Error”. Is there any current work around?

40

Update -

Transfer went through this evening and my 2nd character got moved from “error” to “processing”. It seems like the transfer process got drain-oed and is starting to move again

Thanks!

Currently Still getting the Lua Error. But some how my hunter is processing even though i tried transferring my priest first. Three of my characters say “error”
