[not a bug] Opening pet menu crashes client

Title: Opening pet menu crashes client

Description: Today when I tried to open the pet menu, either by clicking the button or by clicking an egg, it would crash my client every time.

All of my other accounts could open the menu just fine. It was just one specific account. I was able to access the menu on this account on Thursday. I have tried relogging, and even rebooted my computer.

Has anyone else been having this problem? And I can't really fill out a ticket because I don't remember the email and password associated with the account.

Edit: it is only broken for one character on this account. The other toons on this account are having no problem

Just confirming I have had this problem with a couple of characters in the past, but it was not account related. I believe/think that such a problem has been discussed before, but since the characters were unimportant to me, I never really worried about getting it fixed.

Just search internet for that problem and you will find several discussions about it. Seems it's a problem with corrupted character files.

I've heard that the use of a certain Pet Addon Can crash the Pet Menu if there is no Pet inside to be utilised.
You might try removing it, if that addon is indeed being used.

I fixed the problem. It was a corrupted data file.
You go to "my documents" then the rom folder then go into the affected characters folder and delete savevariables.lua.

Yep. This problem has been around for ages, and the solution was always this. There is very little in that file that is of any consequence, unlike the main savevariables.lua, and deleting it tells ROM to make a new one, which doesn't cause the problem with pet menu.

As a reminder.... guys, back up all of your savevariables.lua when they are clean. Much easier to restore than recreate all your settings.
