Unable to Check to Allow Out of Date Addons

ElfFromSpace

All of my addons are out of date in spite of me updating them all today. But more annoying is that I am unable to opt to allow the out of date addons.

I checked the box to allow out of date addons and hit to reload ui. The game came back up with the box UNchecked and all of the addons off. I tried unchecking every single addon and lib library after checking the box to allow out of date addons thinking I could turn them on one at a time. The game still reloaded with the box unchecked and every single addon unavailable. I tried turning them on from the character selection screen and briefly got some of them to load before the game had to reload and they were all forced off again.

I just cannot seem to get the game to allow me to use any addons at all!

I had the same problem when U28 went live (PC/EU). What helped me:
- disabling addon Advanced Filters, if you have it
- checking addons folder on your PC - it was set to "read only" for unknown reason, I unchecked it and addons started working (meaning checking "allow outdated addons" box stayed checked at all times), unchecking read only setting had to be done to base folder (Documents/Elder Scrolls Online) and Addons subfolder
- removing addons that I wasn't using anymore (just felt like cleaning stuff ^_^)

Above changes also allowed me to fix my inventory bug that wasn't actually sorting anything (I blame Advanced Filters addon as the moment I disabled it, inventory started sorting items according to category properly).

Hope it helps.

Well, as a workaround you could just go to Documents -> Elder Scrolls Online -> live and change

#LoadOutOfDateAddOns 0

to 1 in AddOnSettings.txt.

It's not Advanced Filters, it's the LibCommonInventoryFilters library (at least in my case it was breaking the inventory/bank/store UI). Even Advanced Filters changelog stated that you should delete it and use LibFilters-3.0 instead:

Changelog

Version 1.6.0.0

--Updated API version and depenencies. Please update LibFilters3 !

--Removed libCommonInventoryFilters! You should delete it if no other addon uses it anymore. AwesomeGuildStore will also strip it soon.

Thanks for the tips. I also found that I could get most of my add-ons to load by checking them during the character selection screen for a quick fix for people.
