Description

As title suggests all my WA and plater profiles erased themselves - I loaded into game, went into plater profiles to change it and upon reload of UI I got the following errors. The LUA and .bak files in ACCOUNT/xxxx/SavedVariables now read as 1kb.

Even the default group templates are missing.

Just wondering if anyone knows what might have happened, and if the profiles are recoverable. Absolutely devastated :'( so many hours of work.

Haven't updated WA2 on retail since the last time playing. Althoug have updated WA for TBC classic.

The addons can't actually corrupt the Saved Variables files in that way. This is either caused by a wow bug or by a hardware/software problem on your side.

The WA companion can make regular backups of your WeakAuras settings.
