World Of Warcraft: Fixing combat log spam when you zone

Slouken, part of the Blizzard UI team tells us how to get rid of the spam in the combat log when we zone in and out of a portal or instance.
Take a read:

How to stop frame rate lag due to refiltering when you zone:

Issue: When you zone from an instance to the outside world, the combat log goes through a massive loop, pasting every combat log message in the last 5 minutes.

Why would I want to do this fix?

· You have frame rate issues when zoning

· You have recently been in a combat sessions where there are many combat log events (e.g. raid boss encounters)

Instructions

1. Select the "Everything" tab

2. /script Blizzard_CombatLog_CurrentSettings.settings.showHistory = false

This will prevent all combat log messages from being re-filtered when you zone.

Side-Effects:

This will also prevent you from seeing old messages with the "Everything" tab.

How to Undo:

If you accidentally set this on the wrong tab, select the broken tab and type:

/script Blizzard_CombatLog_CurrentSettings.settings.showHistory = true

These settings will be saved when you logout.
