Right off the bat as I log in. I see this, 2 toons. The count just keeps going up.

Yeah, I had to disable Carbonite in order to play at a reasonable speed.
WoW Ace has a list of 4.2 changes available, with a link to Wowpedia's entry on "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" event.

Hopefully this gets fixed quickly, or at least someone with a decent knowledge of LUA can walk us through a Notepad++ fix to keep us running.

*Note: This post is in no way affiliated with the awesome carbonite team. any changes are at your own risk. This post is simply what I did to continue to use Carbonite until the next release

To get it basically working with only a reasonable amount of errors:

change line 9672 in "...\addons\interface\carbonite\carbonite.lua"

from

local time,cEv,_hideCaster,sId,sNa,sFl,dId,dNa,dFl,a1,a2,a3,a4=select(1,...)

to

local time,cEv,_hideCaster,sId,sNa,sFl,sRF,dId,dNa,dFl,dRF,a1,a2,a3,a4=select(1,...)

this is to compensate for the additional fields added to the "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED". This will still error on login and occasionally throughout gameplay. However, it is a low enough error rate that I am able to continue to play using carbonite, my favorite addon.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION AND IN NO WAY ENDORSED / GUARANTEED. IT SHOULD BE REPLACED THE SECOND AN OFFICIAL FIX IS RELEASED.

I have been able to "Enable Outdated Addons" and continue as normal. I get an error popup every now and then, but nothing too bad

With or without the fix? The addon is not out of date in the fix from the download.
