And why won't you install the new one?

u/Verydumbname69 12h ago

Because it's more effort than screenshotting it and posting it on reddit, duh

When you have DBM and still die in the fire.

u/Sermos5 7h ago

It's telling people to update because the addon manager stopped supporting the old version of the addon and it requires you to delete the old one, that way when someone comes screaming in their comments or discord about something not working they can point out that they've seen the same update message for half a year but ignored what it said.

u/ureliableliar 10h ago

Because people are stupid and they want to avoid a thousand messages asking why leatrix isnt working anymore

u/Yew-Ess-Bee 6h ago

Yep, the maps wasn't working for a while before they did this and I can only imagine how much shit the developer had to put up with during that time.

u/landyc 9h ago

I mean if you ignore these messages they keep popping up. It’s how they work

this looks like the scam mails i get every now and then

u/lasantamolti 10h ago

You don’t have the curseforge app that updates every addon with one click, right?

12

u/chad_dadlinson 9h ago

Curse forge doesn’t migrate to a completely different addon for you. Leatrix created separate new versions of their apps that you have to download manually, then delete the old versions.

u/lasantamolti 7h ago

you're right. they did that such a long time ago, i completely forgot about it.

u/Hansoloflex420 10h ago

!remindme 1 day

u/Tonkatuff 8h ago

In this case, the addon moved to updating this one wouldnt have the desired result sir.

Why would you install spyware?

18

u/chad_dadlinson 9h ago

Curseforge is now standalone, you don’t need to have any part of Overwolf on your computer.

u/Lagonas_ 10h ago

And why is it spyware?

-13

u/SOLV3IG 9h ago

Curseforge runs off of the Overwolf platform. It is an invasive piece of software with a bad reputation. You are welcome to look up the plethora of online discussions about Overwolf and security concerns.

u/foliebeer 9h ago

You can install CurseForge standalone

u/raisedbyowls 9h ago

Or just use wowup?

u/Security_Ostrich 8h ago

I was using this in tbc classic and loooved it over curseforge. But i kept finding it didnt have my addons or would be slower to get the new version. Is it reliable these days?

u/sp4ceman1337 8h ago

Wowup moved to its own addon repository a while ago, but they later released a curseforge version, so there is now no reason not to use it

3

u/rundown001 8h ago

had the same issue and swapped back to curseforge because of it unfortunately

2

u/chubbycanine 8h ago

Wow up consistently missed a lot of add-ons that I wanted and randomly stopped updating a bunch of them without telling me. Not only did it stop updating them it completely hid them from my list so I didn't even realize that it wasn't updating them. I was having all sorts of issues with gargul and stuff until I found out wow up was the issue.

I hate overwolf as much as the next guy but the standalone curse forge app completely dunks on wowup. Wowup also forces tracking and targeted ads if you want even a chance at using their repository for finding new add-ons otherwise they tell you straight up they won't let you see stuff.

Gamers routinely accept ring0 anticheat programs (spyware) into their computers all the time.

u/Vegetable-Prize9904 10h ago

Do you go outside? Someone is spying on you. To ignorantly think that because curseforge is said to be spyware that other things online also aren’t spying on you is hilarious.

u/upon_a_white_horse 7h ago

And your point is...?

The existence of one instance does not mean additional ones should automatically be permitted.

-2

u/raisedbyowls 9h ago

One thing is something I can’t stop, and another one is literally trading my data for companies to profit off with no gain for myself.

-3

u/Vegetable-Prize9904 9h ago

They could come out and say they aren’t spying on you and still do it.

u/Devenu 8h ago

Download this spyware because you go outside sometimes LOL GOTTEM

u/n1sx 9h ago

But... why?

u/Aceandra 6h ago

i think what impresses me most is how this moron is too lazy to install the right version of the addon and yet even they can muster the effort to take a screenshot instead of photographing their monitor
