[EU] How to recover you addons (in game and in Minion too) after Update 12

reActor1 · October 2016

With the Update 12 your addons folder has changed to "live".
Just update the Minion setting accordingly.

Good luck and... see you on the duel field!

AND for EU users
if your minion is set to (and it should be)
C:\Users\*UserName*\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\Addon

WARNING

Fix for all EU players that "lost all addons " in Minion (and game)

Go to
C:\Users\< username >\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online
and copy ALL files from Live folder into new (empty) liveeu folder

this should fix it.

Also -i have NO CLUE, why my addon ended in live folder and not in live_archive folder.
I guess -thats Zenimax at work for ya

Thanks for the added info.
Maybe you intended "live" folder instead of "liveeu" (dismissed) one.

Your addon files didn't get moved probably, try with this:

As EU player, playing on EU server, I have now two folders: LIVE and LIVE-ARCHIVE.

And if I understand correctly, all of my previous data, contained in the old LIVE-EU folder (which doesn't exist anymore), was moved to LIVE-ARCHIVE (i.e. the data was archived), but my default folder now is simply LIVE? So from now on I will need to save all of my new add-ons in this particular folder?

Correct.
Copy all the LIVE-ARCHIVE content into the LIVE folder and everything should work.

I just installed Minion and it doesn't take the AddOns folder. It asks for it again and again. In fact in the XML file it writes some garbage:

<game addon-path="QzpcVXNlcnNcQWRtaW5cRG9jdW1lbnRzXEVsZGVyIFNjcm9sbHMgT25saW5lXGxpdmVcQWRkT25z" auto-update="false" display-name="Elder Scrolls Online" game-id="ESO" unique-game-id="ESO-1"/>

None of these suggestions work for me. The only way it works if I leave the liveeu setting alone and then manually copy those addons to the live folder.

Minion refuses to see addons in the live folder, however.

Edit: It got weirded out since my documents are on d: drive, but when you browse to it, somehow it is thinking c:. Strange. Manually edited and now fine.

This is still not fixed for me.
Every day minion still makes a LiveEU folder (empty) and points at it.
Every day I delete it and point minion at the Live folder
Then I press button to force it to redetect add-ons
Eventually the add-ons turn up in game

Am I the only one who has this issue?
It feels like it would be more of a Minion issue than ESO - but cant see much about it on their forums
