I can understand that. I just feel that for some things like combat add-ons it creates an artificial problem that has to be designed around. I believe Blizzard even acknowledged they have to design around those things.
Looking at fight complexity for when you compare Vanilla to something like Mythic Archimonde or Fallen Avatar for example.
Most of the issues people have with Overwolf tend to come from concerns regarding data collection. While Malware was a rumor that had been floating around for a long time, it seems like more people are worried about what data Overwolf seeks to collect.
There are far more shortcomings with the stock ui that enabling a native âmoveanythingâ could fix.

All those uses and I never even touched using addons like dbm/bigwigs or using dungeon/raid suite packs for weakauras
Calls people ânot tech savvyâ, but posts screenshots of Malwarebytes as âproofâ that something isnât malicious.
I some times wonder how differently the game would be played if we didnât have mods and third party simulation sites to find all the hidden information Blizzard tries to hide from us.
So a windows defender scan would suit you better? yes youâre right malwarebytes is extra protection but used it to show that overwolf is not a big deal
overwolf is using barely 1% of my cpu usage if you have continued reading, so its safe to say there is no âcrypto miningâ you claim it to be
Sure as hell wouldnât be as annoying. Like I could submit some photos but the stock ui for azerite gear and corruptions was just pitiful.
Got sick of it when they bricked the character pane with legion. Shame they stopped putting proc rates for things like they did in mop. Guess they did studies to figure out too much info is overbearing for the avg player.
Game should have a developer flag to fix all the obvious shortcomings/hidden things listed above.
That seems more realistic to me. Every site/company/etc. seems to be falling over themselves to collect as much data about users as possible.
If you want to know why people donât like Overwolf, download a tool that monitors your local network traffic and look at her fly. That thing sends a near constant stream of data. What the heck they need all that constant traffic for, they doing full input logging? Eye tracking? It is really shady piece of software.
For me the ads arenât the issue at all. Iâll deal with those when theyâre implemented on WoWUP if the addons I use currently are hosted there.
The issue is 100% Overwolf and their shady history and the reasons why they were created and what they were created for and the very specific people who created them. As I said before, they were Tik Tok before Tik Tok was Tik Tok. If you understand what Iâm implying there, then you know 100% why Overwolf has bought up the addon/mod distribution for so many games worldwide and why they force their overlay application to run with your chosen addon/mod updating utility. Itâs spyware. Not malware. Spyware.
Oh I understand. Iâve read everything about them and have never used them before. Even heard of the one where they were crypto mining on peopleâs computers without permission.
Canât speak from experience as Iâve only see either curse directly back in the day, twitch or WoWUp as of currently.
It has ads, paid addons(which is against TOS btw), and adware and tracks stuff on your PC.
Overwolf ate two of my lipsticks and is chewing on the cabinets.
Overwolf got into the cubbards. Thereâs cereal and pasta shells everywhere. He tore up the cushion on Dadâs recliner. Thereâs mud everywhere.
Wowup still worksâŚ
Every company is.
Overwolf is coming through the back door!
Heâs coming for the children!
Save the children!
PssshâŚthat is work.
Some of these people donât even check md5 hashes if an option. Overwolf skips this needâŚthey do it on backend. Or at least when submitter for dbm uploads they bank on them having a password for account not being, well, password to be an easy account hack.
Or cba to search for GitHub where some load up as well this. GitHub gave my computer the flu! OrâŚitâs M$, Evil bill gates Tin foil. Dude left years agoâŚ.still the hats remain.
Way I see this overwolf is doing a lot of leg work here, and other parties are repo pulling and leeching really. and they are ending it. Maybe if they gave up some moneyâŚthis would go different.
It has ads. YesâŚ.servers cost money. LAN infrastructure costs money. ISP billsâŚcost money. And they kick back to the devs too. This is why I paid for nexus premium for modding use in other games. Same idea. StuffâŚ.costs money.
it scans your system!!! YesâŚit has user base of varied types. it has the users and the techies. scanner is there for the users.
Put folder in what drive again?
well new user to mods/addonsâŚ
Did you install in c drive or do you have a 2 drive system and a c and d drive?
So whats this about a c and d drive? so confusedâŚ
scanner scans this. If it could talk it sayâŚ
looks like your system builder (or kid/teen a usual in house it support for so called âboomersâ, I am training my son for this to help his mom as I do it enough at work) put this on your d drive to just have c drive the system drive.
Scanner then says I put the Mod installs there, come to this app once a week or so and I even update this no muss no fussâŚenjoy.
hate overwolfâŚmanual says hi. for the but I got 100 add ons crowd going but this is work and takes time. Then they will see why its not a charity lol. Hell maybe you even get an ad you like once in a while.
malware bytes even when it finds stuffâŚhas a high false positive rate.
I know of at least 5 dead common almost standard GPO changes most any company would make that flag in malwarebytes.
One of them relates to standard gpo to push company desktop wallpaper.
You have malware!
No. I have a company wallpaper pushed to this client. Company used this as low level base line before better stuff used. Same couple of false positives I back tracked to company gpo.
Just checked. Ran my batch script multiple times and I wasnât throttled.
Iâm using Chrome as my default browser (Iâve allowed it to automatically save/download), and I have uBlock Origin installed with default options.
