Addons out of date but not upgradable?

bobdrad · 12:32AM

I haven't seen any information of add-ons available to update in the options menus for a while now. But I am getting notifications that some are out of date. I do notice that some say they are out of date in the "Manage My Add-ons" menu, but they don't show as updatable in the "Browse add-ons" menu, and uninstalling/reinstalling them has no effect - they still say out of date. I feel like I'm no longer seeing accurate updatable info in the Browse menu, since things used to show as updatable often and now they never do.

The author probably hasn't updated the mod yet. On PC, most of our addons are always "out of date" but they work fine.

What does "out of date" even mean if there's not a newer version available??

It's not confirmed to work in the current version, eventually out of date addons can stop working but it's usually fine.

Add-ons come with a file that doesn't contain any actual code, but things like title, description, author, and the version of the client it's compatible with. If the version number of the client goes up and the addon keeps working, a lot of developers don't bother to upload a "new" version where the only change is the version number in that file. The mismatch causes eso to flag it as "out of date".
