If you use the Twitch client to manage your AddOns, it may install the incorrect version. Please download the correct version from Curseforge.

This is the message that I would adjust.

I considered this when I implemented that warning. I decided against it, because it felt petty to specifically target twitch (even if it is their fault).

It’s one thing to tell people on discord that twitch is terrible, but quite another to commit that to a repository forever.

commented

Replace "Twitch" with "AddOn manager"? Should be vague enough to not step on any toes but still clear for those that actually read the message.

commented

Hmm, not a bad idea. I’ll think on it.

@Stanzilla a quick look at the discord shows that this still happens daily. Can you ask your contacts at curse what the heck is going on?

commented

I do, constantly. They don't know what causes it and how to fix it. Cc @ZeldoKavira

Well, then we should improve our in game message and tell users to contact curse support. That should help them then.
