Every quest item I loot gives UI error

Title says it all - I get this very annoying UI error when I loot a quest item and the counter updates, like in the screenshot when it updates from 5 to 6.
When I looted the 10th quest item and it was completed there was no UI error.

At first I thought it was an error due to some addon, but after looking at the code I can see that it's like the other countless UI errors I've had since One Tamriel launched - all ESO addons/functions.

If anyone has a fix, please let me know.
Thanks!



Here's a screenshot with the UI error itself.

    I am not getting these errors and I have a selection of addons. So:

    1. Make sure your addons are updated
    2. If they are updated, then disable half of them and see if you get the same error, then try the other half, then narrow it down from there.
    3. You never know what addons are doing unless you pour over the code, I was getting weird Texts in my chat from a crafting addon that is not supposed to output anything to chat and never has before. It was fixed in an update.
    4. Always suspect your addons when you get a UI error.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    What's your UI memory limit? Are you using some out of date addons? It's actually possible one of the addons bugs out, or rather consumes more memory than the limit, so it ends up breaking other functions. In my case it was usually MM.

    All mods that have up-to-date versions have been updated, which are only a couple, at least in Minion - the rest have the latest available update.

    Thing is, that was the first or second quest I did in 21 levels - I prefer to level Elder Scrolls style now that One Tamriel has been released :) Figured it wasn't third party addons because the code was built-in addons, but the next time I do a quest and get these UI errors I'll give it a go.

    My UI memory limit is 1024 mb with around 88mb used by addons, so that shouldn't be a problem. And I'm not using MM at the moment, but I remember it used to frequently memory leak even though the used memory wasn't even close to the limit.
    I guess it's difficult to optimize huge addons ^^


    Thanks for the pointers guys. I'll just see what happens the next time I do a quest.
