Weakaura wont open up - Ingame (TBC anni) | WeakAuras Community | Page 1

Hi all.

Last night when i logged in, my WA acted wierd and wouldnt show my installed weakauras properly.
When i typed in /WA to enter config, it wouldnt open up.

I have tried updating the addon, reinstalling and even deleting and installing again.
Beside that i have disabled all other addons, but it still wont show.

Any ideas?

Works if I roll back to the last version

Without a bugsack output there is no chance to fix the issue

Is this the only error? That should not make it so you cannot open /wa

deft smelt Apr 4, 2026, 12:36 PM

#

that is what popped up

#

these boxes who up on my screen and /wa doens't work

proven barn Apr 4, 2026, 12:36 PM

And is previous / next clickable? That would indicate more errors

#

Do you have clickable auras

There can be a few reasons why that update didn't work,
wrong folder,
not fully extracted,
Wrong file downloaded

I downloaded the one linked to me in this chat, correct folder placement. previously it was handled via the curseforge app.

currently using the previous version , 5.21.2 and everything works. 5.21.3 bricked the whole mod. Even with all other mods turned off /wa would not open it and all wa's were absent form screen

that's "5.21.3-1-g1e7b009", it should fix the first lua error you posted

#

there might be other problems though, clear your bugsack and post whatever new errors you are seeing

Will that fix /wa not working?
