The tooltip when I hover over mobs isn’t displaying quest progress (For ex, 0/6 Writs) if I hover over the appropriate mob.
I’ve verified that autoQuestWatch is 1.
What other cvars should I check?
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed that! I know where to go for everything now but it was a pain when it first launched. I don’t know if it was an addon that provided that in the past or stock Blizz ui but I definitely noticed it wasn’t working.
What a PITA Blizz has been lately.
It’s stock UI and has been stock UI since Cataclysm. It works for my friend and not for me. It’s insane. I thought it might be new dailies, everything isn’t immediately indexed for exploration purposes, but nope.
My friend sees below. I see the exact same except the quest progress.

I just checked a different char and it does work so it has to be a setting somewhere.

I haven’t paid attention on my other characters but it doesn’t work on this one and hasn’t since 8.3 launched. I thought Blizz was going hardcore to inflate the time played metrics on us lol.
SET showQuestTrackingTooltips “0”
Check your config-cache.wf file for your character.

Will give that a try. Thanks!
That is what is in there, exactly as you wrote it, I set it to one gonna log in and check it. The only problem is, I’ve already done all the quests today. Hmm I can’t remember if it was doing that in Zandalar and KT as well. I just know it wasn’t working in the 8.3.
Trying to think of a quest to pick up and check lol. It is working on a WQ in Zandalar so I’m assuming it will work in the new zones as well? I honestly wish I would’ve checked in other areas but I already know what to do with everything so I don’t rely on it.
Will definitely report back in the morning when the new quests are up.
I ended up just making a macro
/script SetCVar(“showQuestTrackingTooltips”, 1)
/script SetCVar(“showQuestUnitCircles”, 1)
/script print("Tooltips: ",GetCVar(“showQuestTrackingTooltips”))
/script print("Circles: ", GetCVar(“showQuestUnitCircles”))
One day I’ll just make a master list of recommended settings but by then I won’t have any new chars to make.

It’s working properly in the new zones now and I will use that script on the rest of me toons. Thanks!
check the “ShowQuestTrackingTooltips” value is set to 1
can download AdvancedinterfaceOptions to make this easier, as it has a CVar browser where u can easily change CVars.
