I usually check for addon updates about once a week, sometimes daily if an addon is broken.
But lately I've been having a problem with Minion that maybe someone knows how to solve?
When opening Minion I sometimes get the message "Minion is unable to connect to the internet. Please check your firewall, security and proxy settings." and then the program closes. The strange thing is that I can try opening the program a few times and then it will finally connect and load. When it does finally load sometimes there are no addon icons but it still works, and sometimes it shows addon updates available but when I try to update them nothing happens so I have to close and try opening again. It eventually works but usually takes a few tries to get it to load and update...
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but it's the exact same thing. I've checked my firewall settings and Minion is not blocked nor has anything changed in that regard. I'm not sure when exactly the problem first started, but has been at least since High Isle released.
So I don't understand why it says there's a problem with my internet/firewall but then it opens after a few tries, and sometimes when it opens it fails to update the addons?
This used to happen to me all the time. I can't remember when it quit - probably when they had the newer version for download due to whatever the problem was with security. Someone I know said she got it to quit by re-downloading and reinstalling.
Mostly questing. But I basically have done everything up to, and including, veteran HM dungeons. Excluding the four newest dungeons, as I do not run dungeons at the moment. The only things in-game I have never done are trials, and joining a guild.Ragnarok0130 wrote: »
When a new update requires it. Otherwise what's the point?
It depends. On launch day of a major update, I usually check multiple times a day.
Otherwise, whenever I feel like it (which may be days or months) or when something breaks. I'm a believer of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I would also recommend that people read changelogs before updating.
