BugCatcher / BugEater / No, thank you!

If you run any of these add-ons and have them set to completely block Lua errors, you may be having errors you don’t even know about! The error messages often contain lots of useful information to pinpoint which add-on is causing issues. Before attempting to troubleshoot your problems, please either turn these error-suppressing add-ons off, or change their options to not suppress the Lua errors.

Blurry Screen or Blank Menus

If all your menus are blank or if parts of your screen are very blurry, it is due to a UI error. Ideally, there would be an error message, but if you’re unable to view it because of the UI being broken, there’s a good chance you have an old version of LibAddonMenu, which you can find the fix for below, in LibAddonMenu Errors.

Invisible Elements

Sometimes you might find that there are invisible boxes on your screen preventing you from clicking on other things underneath it. This will help find out what it is:

  1. Hover your mouse cursor over the invisible box.
  2. Paste this command into your chatbox and hit ENTER.
/script zo_callLater(function() d(WINDOW_MANAGER:GetMouseOverControl():GetName()) end, 500)
  1. After half a second, this command will print out the name of the element your cursor is over.

LibAddonMenu Errors

It’s very common to get LibAddonMenu errors, usually due to an embedded version of LibAddonMenu overriding your standalone install. In other words, some existing add-ons (such as Lazy Set Crafter) come bundled with their own version of LibAddonMenu inside, and those old versions are causing problems when other add-ons ask for LibAddonMenu.

In order to fix this, you need to go through your AddOns folder and delete the extra versions of LibAddonMenu. The AddOns folder is typically in Documents\\Elder Scrolls Online\\live\\AddOns. Also, make sure you have installed the standalone LibAddonMenu either manually or via Minion.

To see your current version of LibAddonMenu, use this command in your chatbox. As of this writing, the latest version of LibAddonMenu is 36.

/script local am = GetAddOnManager() for i = 1, am:GetNumAddOns() do local n = am:GetAddOnInfo(i) if (n:match( "LibAddonMenu")) then d(zo_strformat("<<1>> -- <<2>>", n, am:GetAddOnVersion(i))) end end
