Quest helper "broke" again

Quest helper has been nothing but a problem for me in the past but I went back to it yesterday after experiencing problems getting carbonite to run properly. My problem with questhelper is and has always been it breaks. Yes thats right it breaks. I get an error message across my in game screen "Quest helper has broken" and either questhelper shuts down or these days knocks me out of the game entirely.

Yesterdays install was a fresh download with the updates and it still broke. I ALWAYS update my add ons before I log into the game each day.

It could be clashes with other add-ons. I sometimes get the message about Questhelper being broken, but then I log onto an alt, which has different addons activated, and all will be fine.

Do you have any idea as to what other add ons Quest helper might be having a problem with? I also run Bartender 4, fubar, deadly boss mods and the dps meter.

Use /qh error to get the exact error and post it here or on Curse (Curse will probably get a faster response). We can't do anything about it if you don't tell us what the error is.

If it's knocking you out of the game, it is a World of Warcraft problem. Addons, no matter what they do, should not be able to crash the client. I recommend doing a repair of World of Warcraft.

Make sure you backup your Interface and WTF folders before you repair the client otherwise you'll have disappointment knocking at your door as soon as you login and find no addons or SavedVariables.

Don't use atlas loot and solved the quest helper problem by ditching it. Carbonite is working much better for me.
