Where config files of minion are stored so I can backup? Does anyone know path? I wanna try uninstall and install new version but do not want to set up minion settings again.

No need for set up settings:
1. Deinstall:
Are you sure you want to completety remove Minion and all of its components? YES
Do you want to delete the minion configuration directory? NO
Minion was successfully removed from your computer.

2. Download Minion from https://minion.mmoui.com/?download

3. Start Minion3.0.12.exe
When the Setup asks
The folder ( e.g. C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\Minion)
already exists, Would you like to install to that folder anyway? YES
and finish the installation
Launch Minion and all is ok

Good show buddy, worked a gem. Cheers.

Same problem here, any solution founded?

Túrin_Vidsmidr · April 3

I've done this complete reinstallation, now I can't even launch it anymore.
I gave it permissions in the Firewall settings, running as Administrator, still won't launch.

This worked like a charm, thank you!

Fixed this after the earlier problems, but now today when I load Minion it simply gets stuck on Loading... with the Cylon bar.

Under that it mentions all the things it loaded.

DreamyLu · April 5

Just an add in case it can help some others: I uninstall then reinstall, and in my case it went worse: Minion couldn't detect any addons, even when I was specifying the folder. So I gave up.

One hour later, I started ESO to play a bit, and while at computer, decided it's worth retrying with Minion: it went trouble free as if nothing happened before!

So, it looks like in my case, having ESO opened before to open Minion was the trick to get things back on track.

GLP323b14_ESO · April 5

That didn't work for me DreamyLu.

Still stuck on it saying Loading...

Meanwhile I did the ipv4 command line thing from the Troublshooting guide. It successfully ran the command but that didn't fix anything.

And now I'm left wondering if that strange command may have created some unnecessary hole in my PC security (or performance) that didn't fix the problem.

GLP323b14_ESO · April 6

I wound up resetting the various detections and that fixed things.

After a bit of finagling; restarting the app and messing around with those resets a bit.

Minion's certificate ran out. You have to uninstall Minion and the appdata folder for it, then reinstall. Do not forget to go into the tiny gear settings top right after it is installed and tell it to deep search to 6. Then close and reopen Minion. Works again for me after I did that. Hope this helps

You will not lose your addons as those are stored on your computer not with the minion app

It just uninstall all of my mods... I'm too tired to find all of them again. I'm gonna stop with that :')

Monroe585 · April 11

Minion won't detect mods for updates. I have to click the redetect mods button, exit out and reopen it for minion to detect updates.

Thee_Cheshire_Cat · April 15

SO thankful for this forum and those who take time to help. Was upset when minion wasn't working and thought it was my new router. Followed the directions here and all is well again. Thank you!

ClowdyAllDay · April 16

there is a workaround: Java version, but not an .exe file still works
Java version of Minion is downloadable https://minion.mmoui.com/?download
you download zip archive, unzip, double click Minion-jfx.jar and voila!

Thanks ! Only thing that worked for me !

tuxon · May 17

same here

Shara_Wynn · May 18

Awesome. Had neglected to update Minion for some time and found it not working.

Thanks @TomCat for the excellent fix that even computer illiterate I could apply!

TheOriginalMrT · June 6

its still broken

i completely removed it and tried to reinstall 3.0.12 but now that process won't even complete. It just keeps loading. "Fetching global configuration" I don' t know what to do

roqueforty · June 8

Gods, wtf is this...

Now, the game itself sees the addons, but the folder is empty.
Do we have a better alternative to this... app, that actually works?
