Help with Lua error (Gatherer)

Guides UI and Macro
1

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with Lua errors. They started appearing when I tried to install Gatherer. Not sure what is happening, doing anything at all with the add-on triggers an error.
I tried to isolate the issue to Gatherer by disabling everything else; and it still happens.
Anyone can help? Thanks
Here is the error :

It seems like the addon is trying to read a variable which still only has a defaultly-set value.

I’d suggest to try reinstalling (deleting all the folders of Gatherer manually) the addon (and perhaps clear the cache) and try again.

If it still occurs try another version or the addon and optionally submit a bug to the devs of Gatherer.

Will try, thanks for the help :slight_smile:

Use a different addon, Gatherer hasn’t been updated for about two years now. Blizzard completely changed how the map works in BfA, so the chances for a quick fix are slim to none.
