[CLIENT] Client Freezes when Re-ordering Friend Groups

Pushup·12/13/2014, 5:04:50 PM·1 votes·837 views

On the friends list sidebar, I can no longer edit the order in which groups appear. When you right click the group, the menu comes up with "move group up/down", as it should. However, when you click one of those options, the client freezes up for 2-3 seconds, and then once it becomes responsive again, the groups are still in the same order. This bug has been occurring since the 4.21 patch and happens 10/10 times for me.

  1. Create at least two friend groups in your friends list
  2. Right click on one, and attempt to move up/down
  3. Client freezes and then unfreezes
  4. Friend groups stay where they were

-Client Friend List Freezing on ReOrder WORKAROUND-

Currently if you have more than one group on your Friends List and you like to have them in a certain order you're probably frustrated and annoyed that they will periodically change order and you have no way to change them, and if you do, the client freezes for a few seconds and nothing happens after its unfrozen.

Here is what you do if you are having this problem;

  1. Rename any of your Groups. I simply put a letter in front of one of my Group Names so it would change position based on the default positioning using Alphabetical Order.

  2. Change the position of your Renamed Group by moving up or down. The client still freezes for a few seconds usually. It's also possible your newly Renamed Group will or will not move. This is okay.

  3. Rename a second Group and also move it up or down after it repositions. The client will possibly again freeze for a few seconds, but the Group should now move and any and all Groups can now move without renaming.

You can rename your Groups back to their original names and they will stay in their positions. Further, if you relog the client and move your groups the Client will no longer freeze for a few seconds and your groups will move as needed.
