Since 8.1 became available, this character has not had a properly functioning quest/achievement tracker. It only happens on this character and no others.
When I get to a World Quest, receive a new quest, or manually choose to track an existing quest, it doesn’t show in the tracker UNTIL I log out and back in again. Also, any displayed quests do not update unless I relog as well. This is most noticeable on multi part quests where you would get the prompt to complete and accept the next step, as I have to relog twice to see the next step. Also, tracked achievements don’t show no matter what I do.
First I tried disabling all addons; then I tried renaming the cache, interface, and WTF folders; then I ran scan & repair; then I deleted and restored the character; and after each attempt it still had this issue, and again, ONLY on this one character.
Lastly, when logging in I get an error referencing …ObjectiveTracker.lua, though I did not get that error when I renamed the folders, and it still didn’t work.
Minor update: I just found that it also updates when I ‘/reload’, though I still can’t see achievements.

Thank god i thought it was only me. it’s been happening since yesterday mini update or whatever and it’s on ALL my toons. I just keep typing /reload and it fixes it after every quest. I also originally thought it was an out of date addon but have turned off all my addons and it’s still broken.

Found a fix! From a 2+ year old post …

Ok, so I’ve followed Blizzard’s UI resetting guide and found out that the culprit was within WTF folder. To avoid loosing all settings I’ve played a detective and narrowed it to WTF/Account/“acc name”/Server/“char name”/config-cache.wtf file. Deleted the line:
SET trackedAchievements (and whatever was after it)
and my tracker was finally empty.
Writing this in case someone runs into similar problem in the future.
This fixed my missing achievement tracker AND the quest tracker.

Thank you so much! This worked for me as well. So weird that it was just this toon and not my others.

I followed the steps and deleted various achievement and quest strings on the WTF folder but my quests still won’t track.
