I'm running the latest version of everything... I've tried reinstalling/downloading Questie... I've cleared WTF folders... I can't get it to initialize.

Hi Muehe,
I am having the same issue as mentioned above. I note the workaround but do not know how or where to add this.
Can you please advise?

Same for me. Happened today

.

Exactly the same for me. Wow Classic Era -Questie v6.9.0

I tried 'Recompile DB'. The re-compiltation succeeded, but then still get the Error during initialization.

@peidshjt @dagid4 @wilsoncpw I can not reproduce, but with the help of Yoman on Discord I found a workaround:

diff --git a/Database/Corrections/QuestieEvent.lua b/Database/Corrections/QuestieEvent.lua

Muehe, many thanks. That worked great!

Hmm, the only thing I can think of right now is that you might have been in the wrong directory if you have both Classic SOM and TBC installed, as the workaround seems to have worked for all other affected users so far.

Edit: Or you didn't save the change?

@Nikkun59 First close WoW, then:

1. Go to the WoW directory. This is usually at C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_, but there should be an option in the Battle.net launcher to go there.
2. Go to Interface\AddOns\Questie\Database\Corrections
3. Open the file QuestieEvent.lua in an editor
4. Search for ["Children's Week"] = {startDate = "1/5", endDate = "7/5"}
5. Change 1/5 to 7/5 and save the file

Hi Muehe,
I have shut down wow, and followed your instructions -
QuestieEvent.eventDates = {
["Lunar Festival"] = { -- WARNING THIS DATE VARIES!!!!
startDate = "23/1",
endDate = "10/2"
},
["Love is in the Air"] = {startDate = "11/2", endDate = "16/2"},
["Noblegarden"] = { -- WARNING THIS DATE VARIES!!!!
startDate = "13/5",
endDate = "19/5"
},
["Children's Week"] = {startDate = "7/5", endDate = "7/5"},
However, when I restart wow I get the same error as shown in the screenshot above

Not able to access settings.. it doesnt really load at all

If you can still access the Questie settings there should be a "Recompile DB" option that might help.

If you haven't already you can also try to completely delete the Questie directory and then installing again. Remember to close WoW before you do so.

@dagid4 I guess you didn't Recompile Database after 8f29c1d ? That would get automatically done as Questie version changes when user updates to new Questie release.

My apologize, I haven't recompiled, didn't know it is necessary.

You were correct, I had not updated the Classic_era_ directory. Didnt realise that classic era was the actual Classic and TBC comes under the Classic directory.....
Thanks for your help with this.
Have a great day/Night.

People experiencing the bug,
What langauage your WoW installation is?

Got the same issue in SoM, installation is in english on windows10.

Fixed it by adding the following to [...]\AddOns\Questie\Database\Zones\zoneDB.lua

213    local questsToSplit = zoneMap[QuestieDB.sortKeys.SEASONAL]
+       if questsToSplit == nil then
+           return zoneMap
+       end
214    -- Merging SEASONAL and SPECIAL quests to be split into real groups
215    for k, v in pairs(zoneMap[QuestieDB.sortKeys.SPECIAL]) do questsToSplit[k] = v end

Cheers.

Thanks @joothly, your workaround works. I have first tried the 8f29c1d, but it didn't solve the issue.

That would get automatically done as Questie version changes when user updates to new Questie release.
