Interface reset In 10.1

Why have you reset the interface in 10.1? Guaranteed way to annoy people when they log in is to have to spend time putting everything back as it was.

The default edit pane for the minimap covers the entire screen and you can’t shrink it enough to put it back in the top right corner.

I’m also currently stuck in edit mode as there’s no way to exit it and the ESC key won’t bring up the main menu to allow me to relog.

Have exactly same issue

Basically they completely, um, messed up the UI and edit mode.
We need a blue post saying what’s happening.

Advice for the future: back your interface and WTF folders up regularly. Always before a patch release as well.

Sound advice thanks but it doesn’t excuse them going live with a version that doesn’t work.
Also just noticed that action bars 5-8 have been set off and enabling them has lost the shortcuts that were there.
It’s a complete mess; they should know better after nearly 20 years.

It doesn’t. I can only imagine how annoying it must be.

But especially for people using addons this is a thing you absolutely have to do.(Also the import UI code if you’re using the base ui) Bugs and errors happen. Patches can change things drastically that break some. Never happened to me but if it did I have the backups

Have you played on PTR by any chance? Is there any backup you might have?

Ok problem solved.

Blizzard tweeted to say the map coordinates addon could be causing the issue; disabling it set everything back as it was so all’s good and I can look suitably embarrassed.

/note to self; try disabling addons when things go wrong

Oh! That’s awesome, congrats ^^
make yourself a backup now, please

I’ve got a theory why - The caverns are under the dragon isles and they’re using a new technology(their words) It’s totally possible that the new tech broke the coordinates as they worked before. And they in turn broke something else in your ui.

Check this post out again when you can. Quoting you so you get the notification :slight_smile:

What a surprise, third party addon causing issues on the patch day :smiley:

I didn’t have any issues, other than the usual LUA errors from couple addons which had not been updated when I tested.

Speaking of backups, not sure where the Blizzard UI layout is saved but I have saved the UI import string just in case they get reset or broken somehow.

If you don’t know where your game is, click on the button next to play in the game launcher and click on see in explorer or something like that. Basically the button to send you to the game folder. You’d be in _retail now. From there, while holding ctrl click on both WTF and interface to select them then use CTRL and C together to copy, then make yourself a folder somewhere you’d remember, with a name that’ll be obvious what it is, put the files there by using CTRL and V together
