Tatskii commented 2 years ago

lost 1 PC that way not doing that again

SpatenLa commented 2 years ago

if thats the case, why do you download a old version of the addon and where do you download it from? 4.0.3 is the newest version.

Tatskii commented 2 years ago

curseforge auto update

Tatskii commented 2 years ago

and for Burning Crusade Classic is 4.0.2 retail is 4.0.3 or am i mistaken when they but 4.0.2bbc and then 4.0.3

Tatskii commented 2 years ago

because the curseforge auto updater is trying to Download 4.0.2bbc

SpatenLa commented 2 years ago

There is nothing for us to do. This is to the best of our knowledge a false positive.
