Killcounter main screen summary gone

[tinythinker]

The little UI element with kills/streaks etc that you can move around the screen that appears when you are in a PvP area. On one of my characters I moved it to the edge of the screen once while moving other UI elements over a year ago and its' gone. Tried another add-on to make UI elements change size and similar tricks to find it, but, for that character (and only that character) it is seriously just gone. But I can pull up the menu to see various stats. Any way to fix this without a total uninstall/reinstall and wiping the saved data?

The addon's name is KillCounter?

Logout first!!!

Then have a look at the SavedVariables folder at c:\users\your windows username\documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live (or liveeu)

Inside this folder there could be a file named KillCounter.lua storing the settings for the addon.
Make a backup of this fileso you are able to restore it later if something breaks the addon.

Open it with a text editor then and search for the charactername where the window is not shown anymore.
It should look like this

["Your Character Name"] =
{
...
},
...

Between the { and } there are saved the settings for your character.
Look for something like x or y coordinates or top and left positions and reset them to 100 so the window will be shown at the top left corner with 100 pixels margin to the edges.
Save the file.

Login again and try if it works.

Found the file, the character's listing, and under that two variables called "offsetX" and "offsetY". Changed them to 100. Restarted game in Cyro. Counter is still absent. Tried a value of zero since I saw that on a few. Also nothing. Sounds like it ought to work. Also tried a slight largely value of 428. Nothing.

Thanks for taking the time for such a clear response though. It's just a weird situation.

And for some reason, when I tried logging in with that character today, it worked!

Yourre welcome. At least its fixed now
Maybe the variables were not updated properly until you changed them manually and after logout they got saved the correct way again to the SavedVariables.
The next login they got loaded and it worked again.
