Hi

I have manually installed 3 Add-Ons (ImmersiveHUDHider, MapPins and SkyrimStyleVibration) on my Steam Deck. I installed/unpacked them in this directory: /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/306130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns
When I start ESO through Steam and log into my character I get a notification, that some Add-Ons are outdated, but I don't see them anywhere. There is no menu entry in-game or on the character screen.

Does anyone else have this issue?

    Try to login to the ingame world and take a screenshot via the ESO keybind for screenshot (See controls).
    Note down the path shown top right at the screen's edge.
    If you substract the traling /Screenshots and replace it with /AddOns instead it should show you the folder where addons should be in (at least the game thinks they are in).

    Also:
    If you extract addons from the zip files make sure they are directly with their addon folder in live/AddOns and not in a new created subfolder with the zip files name like e.g. live/AddOns/MyAddonName_v.10/MyAddonName.
    It must be in: live/AddOns/MyAddonName

    If placed correctly it should hopefully show ingame in the addon manager (ingame world) if you press ESC and select AddOns.
    But yes, they usually show at the character selectiont too then.

    Important:
    You need to acknowledge the AddOns EULA once as the game starts!!!
    Check you file live/UserSerttings.txt and find thse entries and if you do not find them or with any other value try to logout from the game and then add/change these values in the file:
    SET ViewedAddOnEULAVersion "5"
SET AcceptedAddOnEULAVersion "5"
SET SkipEULAS "0"

    Huh. The EULA was the issue, as the game never showed it to me. The value was set to "-1" instead of "5". Thank you very much!

    Interestingly, the Add-Ons are now working, but I still don't have a Add-Ons menu entry anywhere. Do I have to install a certain library for that?

    Depends on what AddonMenu you talk about?

    The general addon manager is just shown (in keyboard mode, not sure about gamepad mode!) as you click ESC and select "AddOns" at the left shown entry list menu.

    The addon's "settings menu" where you configure different addion's settings often is provided by the library
    LibAddonMenu.

    And it shows as you press ESC -> Settings -> AddOns
