Posted Jan 23, 2026The addon has stopped working for me. I just get a quick outline of a box on my screen for a second that goes away and nothing else.

Posted Jan 21, 2026Found a temporary solution to avoid WIM to be flagged as incompatible...
Been gambling with the lua file and noticed the line with game version stated 120001 instead of 120000, just replaced the value with 120000 and now it works

Posted Jan 21, 2026Thank you for mentioning that toc file. Replacing the version number there worked like a charm!

Posted Jan 22, 2026In reply to yavana238: unbelievable how they suddenly decided to not load out-of-date addons at all, even when you explicitly check "load out of date addons", which didn't use to be the case so far. Thanks a bunch!

Posted Jan 18, 2026I am currently testing add-ons because I have to completely rebuild my interface with Midnight. For this purpose, I have also installed WIM version 3.14.5. However, this is displayed as incompatible on the PTR. The checkbox for “Load outdated add-ons” is selected.

Posted Jan 20, 2026Confirming on Live. It doesn't load.
It seems the "Load out of date addons" is just there, I don't think it actually does anything.
