10 days have passed and my laptop has not crashed at random since ve deleted Overwolf.
I believe itĀ“s not long now until twitch disbands the addon manager which leads to 3 options:
Risk having computer problems with Overwolf.
Trusting Wowup even though the computer blocks it and says its a bad idea (at least I get that message)
and manually updating it from sites, which I donĀ“t think many people can manage without looking up a guide. but even then, people might still mess up and poop their files.
maybe Bliz will make their own once twitch gives up the manager and tons of people will be on the forums crying. crying on the forums useally work.
Honestly not decided yetā¦ I have an add on uploaded to twitch for wow classic and dunno if I will bother moving it elsewhere yet
I think all WoW related addons will be gone.
Seems the Overwolf beta app is out now
oh, i wonder if the crashes were a bug then. if so then maybe might try again once its fully live and bug free.
wowhead did write about addon manager called ajour
been using that ever since
no issues
p.s already got one of those thank you
There is a whole selection of alternatives:-
Iāve been using WoWup for quite a while now. At on point there was an issue with not all addons showing up if I didnāt rescan my folders a few times, but that seems to have been a bug and have been fixed.
Now it works great. A clean lightweight app.

I use WowUp and still some Twitch. Some addons arenāt picked up by both updaters for some reason.
I only launch wowup, re-scan and check updates then close it again (exit from the systray). Havenāt had any problems that are updater-related.
I use CurseBreaker as my husband is a programmer and loves the command-line interface. As a non-programmer myself, itās super-simple to use and update. No problems using it at all (so far!). I donāt use too many add-ons so it suits my needs - Iād definitely recommend it to those looking for an add-on manager.

I went back to Twitch, at some point I will have to switch to something.
Feels like the world is soon to end doesnĀ“t it? the moment were you start to wonder what to do with yourself.
Iām not feeling full of doom, Iāve got coffee

Ummā¦ i still use twitch.
I open it, go to the wow section ā¦ mods and whatnot and click Update, Update, Update.
I wait a few seconds.
And then i close twitch.
Should i be worried about something?
Overwolf hasnāt officially taken over yet, their app went from Alpha into Beta, so we will be able to use it for some time to come.
But when it doesā¦ will i be requested a fee or something?
There will be no fees, it will just stop working and youāll have to switch to something else.
Overwolf is garbage.
You cannot use the addon manager without also installing the overwolf client. This client and overwolf in general has been known to be invasive, bloatware, taking up much GPU use, adds marketing overlays appearing in game on loading screens etc (noted as been disabled in the beta build) along with a quite frankly horrendous amount of personal data/pc data being collected that.
Wouldnāt trust it on my pc at all.
