Hi
My entire game seems to have reset to default settings on it’s own?!
Timeline:
-
Logged onto the Battlenet app today and there was a minor update (normal).
-
Afterwards I loaded up WoW to get the BFA opening cinematic along with an error message. Thought this was strange.
-
Closed the cinematic and error message and went to character screen to be greeted with a “Your addons are out of date” message. Thought also strange.
-
Loaded into character (Loading out of date addons) as i would normally. And i’m greeted by default settings on everything.
All my adds are there; but not saved settings. All the Blizzard UI settings are reset to default.
Checked the WTF/Cache/Addon folders etc., appears everything is just default settings in there (nothing under saved variables etc.). Completely wiped clean.
Sadly; the last time i backed up these files was c1year ago; and my back up hard drive since packed in.
Although its extremely annoying, thankfully TSMApp backed up my TSM settings (the only substantial addon configuration i use these days). Quite frankly i probably would have just quit rather than reconfigure that beast.
I can’t see any posts about this issue (but a few guildies said they had a similar problem yesterday) so i thought i would bring this to the Devs attention and thank them for wasting my time again.
Sincerely, a (getting very bored of all your rubbish) customer.
