UI changes don't persist

Recommended Posts

I have a problem where my chat window changes (filters, creating new ones, etc.) don't save/persist--not only between sessions, but even things like instances and flight paths. It reverts to a pseudo-default state with one General window, sometimes one of my additional windows as a tab, and Combat is gone... Has anyone come across this and/or does anyone have an idea what to try?

Four possibilities immediately jump to mind...

1.  Your save file(s) have somehow gotten corrupted.  These are the files inside the WTF folder of your World of Warcraft installation.  Deleting these files will cause you to lose saved macros, game settings, and any saved variables used by addons.  Risky.

2.  Your cache file(s) may have gotten corrupted.  Less likely to cause something like this, but you never know.  These are the files inside the WDB folder of your World of Warcraft installation.  These files can be safely deleted, and will automatically rebuild when you restart the game.

3.  Where did you install the game?  If it was in "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft" this may cause issues as the Program Files folders are system protected by Windows (er... is this on a Windows computer?).  If this is the case, try moving the World of Warcraft directory to a different location.

4.  You have an addon that is interfering with the game.  What addons are you using (if any)?  Have you tried disabling all of them and seeing if the problem still persists?
