logged on today for the 1st part of phase 2,
and my addons were completely broken, went onto WoWup to update them all, didnt work, went onto curgeforge to redownload them all, no updated versions,
a day before ulduar release, im screwed, any ideas?
same. I am wondering where people are getting their addons from.
For example Bagnon from curseforge doesn’t work correctly (you have to re-open inventory for it to update when you send mail,etc.); Bagnon I used in phase1 doesn’t even open bags anymore.
Most of my addons are bricked…

Literally every addon is outdated by the new patch
patch has caused broken addons, terrible lag and more bugs,
great job blizz
It would not be Blizz if they don’t screw up the patch.

Its is not up to Blizzard to fix addons every patch, it is up to the people who make the addons. When you "update your addons, look at the files, if the “Game Version” isn’t the same as the current patch version then the addon hasn’t been updated yet. A lot of the addons are on github, which is the first place you’ll find the updates. If you need the addon and you need it “now” then you have the code for every addon in the addon folder, fix it yourself.

Yeah, that’s usually the case on day one, nothing much to do about it but wait till smarter people fix it, for us to update.
search for your addon and then github, most of the popular addons are on there and have development version or latest versions that work
addons are always messed up for a few days after new patch
Pretty much every addon I have is broken and throwing errors making the game completely unplayable.
I have never in the history of WoW experienced anything like it.
Usually the biggest problems have been after a new expansion not just a content patch.
I wonder what they changed. It doesn’t have to have been something big, just a small thing that affects a lot of addons.

Exactly this - and it’s literally always been like this after a content patch
I think they introduced a new API which is why so many addons broke. Usually you can run outdated addons without any real problems.
That happens when you randomly rename virtually every variable addons use through their API.
Which is what they did. Without preserving a backwards compatibility period for addon authors to change their addons.
It’s just peak Blizzard.
I don’t know what they’ve done in this patch. I’ve never noticed such level of breakage in the entirety of Classic, or in the original game (up to and including Cata) whether it was an expansion pre-patch or patches inbetween, it’s never broken every addon I had like this one has.
I bet they’re gearing up for more big additions/changes to the game that’s required a semi-major shakeup of the games framework.

I’m not worried about external addons. Usually they’re fixed by developers.
I’m more concerned having issue with Blizzard UI, specifically raid frames.
Once I join dungeon group, raid frames do not show up. And when I start healing group, they may appear and disappear. Perhaps other addons are influencing Blizzard UI raid frame functions. In PvP all works as intended. Can’t figure out. If anyone has similar issue please let me know.
Could it be an addon you still have installed?
Dottie… Please…
That’s the only reason mine was disappearing. Leftovers from an addon.
I apologize, I thought your reply was to OP’s problems, didn’t catch the post above yours.
