Target of Target gets disabled.
Tutorials get re-enabled.
The CVAR to show status text on character frames get set back to 0.
There may be more, but these are three of the more noticeable.

10.2.6 also just turns on ALL chat channels in all chat tabs.
Do you have any way to fix the status text back to 1? Even if it’s a manual option we have to do when we log in, it’s better than having nothing at all.

This has been so frustrating for me as well. My guild/party/raid chat only window keeps reverting and turning all those channels back on.

ROFL no wonder!! So they launch a completely different game than wow. And if you play it, it messes up your wow settings. Absurd!!

I have also noticed this re: chat settings. Right clicking the channel number in General to move it to a new tab doesn’t work… because it’s already IN a tab, AND displaying in the main one. Having to close the tabs each time just to be able to set them aside again.
Hope this gets fixed soon!

AdvancedInterfaceOptions addon has a cvar browser. Just type “status” in its search bar, and it should be the top option. You might be able to write a macro for it as well, but I haven’t tried it yet.

If they don’t want to install AdvancedInterfaceOptions or another add-on, they could use a simple one like this to toggle between having it on and off.
/run SetCVar("statusText", not GetCVarBool("statusText"))
If you just want it on and no toggle
/run SetCVar("statusText", 1)

I compared my config-cache.wtf files between before 10.2.6 launched and after it launched and I ran Plunderstorm. I can confirm these 3 things changed.
52a52
> SET showTargetOfTarget "1"
53a54,55
> SET showTutorials "0"
> SET statusText "1"
This shows that prior to 10.2.6 launching those were the 3 settings and post 10.2.6 launching they’ve been removed from the config file.
Oh and not sure if it’s related or not, but somehow my profanity filter got toggled on as well.
Added them to my Addon to auto toggle back to where they belong on login.

Yeah, I’m not sure actually playing Plunderstorm resets these things. The chat channels for example are re-joined in every chat frame on every login regardless of whether I connected to the Plunderstorm server or not. As mentioned above, the other settings which are missing from the config file seem to just no longer be saved at all which explains why they only stay for your current game session.
In a way I’m not entirely surprised that their work on a game mode which allows virtually no UI modification had all these things slip through to retail. However, this should be a top priority to fix.

Well the 3 I mentioned above save fine and don’t need resetting as long as I don’t launch Plunderstorm. If I do, it resets them. This is completely different from the Chat issues.

I use AdvancedInterfaceOptions. It has a setting in its main tab to “Enforce Settings on Startup” which forces it to remember all of your current settings and re-apply them after you initially log in. Can confirm that for the unit frame status text, it is a viable workaround.

Which addon are you using? I tried Advancedinterfaceoptions and checked “force settings on launch” and it didn’t work.
Does anyone have a macro for all 3 of them like
This?

You can just use this.
/run SetCVar("statusText",1)
/run SetCVar("showTargetOfTarget",1)
/run SetCVar("showTutorials",0)edit: am fatigued and misspelled run as rum…

Yeah, I have my own addon (it’s not published) that has a bunch of things like this running on the PLAYER_LOGIN event.
I’m confident you could ask ChatGPT to create an addon to just toggle those 3 CVar’s. I might test this once I get to work.
To get it to work, you have to find the cvars in AIO’s cvar browser and manually change them. If they still say “last changed by [some random interface path that isn’t you]” on mouseover, then it won’t enforce the setting. I just double-clicked in each and re-entered the same values to get that part to clear.
The issue im having is its turning off all nameplates beyond about 50 yards. This makes pvp nearly unplayable, as i cant see enemy nameplates until im practically right on top of them. same issue happens whether its auto-detect dx or with dx11L, setting graphics level to either base or 10 has no effect, nor do any sliders related to view distance.
this appears to be associated with the clip distance for certain on map assets like wagons, fences barrels etc. These type assets and the NPC/PC nameplates both clip out at the same range when i have graphics quality set to base game.

Came here in hopes to find a fix, or at least a blue acknowledgement since I’ve been experiencing this since the Plunderstom launch.
The settings don’t reset as long as I don’t play Plunderstorm
