Addons in PTS

Is it a thing that addons are not always supported on PTS?

I've played on PTS quite a few times over the last year or so, and never had any problem with my addons....but this time at least half of them are not listed under settings>addons, and the window is blank in the main addons option.

    Ok, crappy response, but someone has to ask. You are sure the missing addons are installed in the proper PTS directory? I've done that mistake, myself.

    (Edit.. I have not paid any attention to pts addons, yet. I always wait until the last week.)

    Thank you for your response, Lordrichter.....not crappy at all, and well worth checking :)

    However, yes they are all there. So if you or anyone else has other suggestions, then please do post!

    Having said that, it's clearly not a game-breaking issue, but I'm especially missing Azurah and TFC with all their UI customisation.

    Most AddOns will be out of date on the PTS and many may not function correctly.
    Especially for updates where ZOS makes major changes to their lua API which usually impacts UI mods the most.

    So they may just be broken on the PTS, worth checking esoui and see if the authors have already posted updates.
    It's a long shot since most authors wait until the patch actually hits live.

    Yes, I wondered about that. There are always a lot of addons that haven't been updated by their authors for some time, if at all.

    I have the 'allow out of date addons' checked, as I do on the main EU server. The first thing I also did was to get everything updated via Minion. Maybe Minion isn't the best way to do this, and maybe it's better to individually update them via ESOUI?

    Minion usually works fine, othe one I've ever had to do manually was AGS around Murkmire (and on live not PTS)

    I'm using Azurah on PTS without any issues.

    Just copy your {ESO}/live/SavedVariables/Azurah.lua file over to {ESO}/pts/SavedVariables/Azurah.lua.

    All my addons are in both live and pts under addons and save variables, and always have been. As I said, this has not been a problem in the past....just since the Elsweyr patch on PTS.

    Thank you all for your suggestions and they are much appreciated. I'll see if they re-appear after the next wipe :)
