Because Users don't know to to want what is GetDisplayName() bug and wants theirs addons work without some work, here is a little guide to get your settings back :

So, ESO 1.2 introduce a bug called as GetDisplayName() bug, resulting the loss of your addon settings in June when this update was released. And as this bug has been corrected in 1.3, we lost our settings again. So if you got an addon with a whole bunch of datamining or personnalization, this could help :


All you need to do is:

1. Go to your Documents folder (the same one that you had to use to install your addons)
2. Go to your Elder Scrolls folder
3. Go to your Live folder (or liveeu for european users)
4. Go to your SavedVariables folder
5. MAKE A BACKUP OF THIS FOLDER!
6. You should see a listing of files for each addon you used. They will be named [AddOnName].lua
7. You can open those files using any text editor (just use NotePad). Right click the file name, choose Open With and pick whatever editor you want to use
8. Start to search (Ctrl+F) for string ["@Username"] (replace Username with your ESO Username), if not found, go to line under, if found, go to the Post Scriptum section
9. If you didn't find ["@Username"], somewhere close to the top of the .lua file will be a line that says [""] = (generally line 5)
10. Change that to replace [""] with ["@Username"]
11. Save and close.

Do this for each of the addon .lua files that you have in that folder. Once you've done all of them, you should be able to log into the game and not lose all your settings now.

Relog and try your addon again?
If it didn't work, please replace your addon settings file from your backup.

PS:

Okay, Your addon settings already got ["@Username"]
First, please take note that is for advanced users only !

1. Start to enlarge notepad window to full screen, it will help.
2. Then, you will need to find the whole block of settings under ["@Username"] this block contains all your saved settings before ESO 1.2 - and/or if you already patched and launched game, your new settings.
3. This block must be deleted (with ["@Username"] too and closing brackets too !), read exemple under !
4. Then, find the line (Ctrl+F) with [""] =. It must be changed with ["@Username"] =
5. Save and close.

Example : Lines in red will be deleted, Line in green will be changed :

SN_FS_SavedVariables =
{
    ["Default"] = 
    {
        ["@MyAcountName"] = 
        {
            ["Ayantir"] = 
            {
                ["SN_FS"] = 
                {
                    ["debug"] = true,
                    ["version"] = 1,
                    ["stack_on_insert"] = false,
                    ["configVersion"] = 1,
                },
            },
        },
        [""] = 
        {
            ["Ayantir"] = 
            {
                ["SN_FS"] = 
                {
                    ["debug"] = false,
                    ["version"] = 1,
                    ["stack_on_insert"] = false,
                    ["configVersion"] = 2,
                },
            },
            ["Victoire"] = 
            {
                ["SN_FS"] = 
                {
                    ["debug"] = false,
                    ["version"] = 1,
                    ["stack_on_insert"] = false,
                    ["configVersion"] = 2,
                },
            },
        },
    },
}

Resulting in :

SN_FS_SavedVariables =
{
    ["Default"] = 
    {
        ["@MyAccountName"] = 
        {
            ["Ayantir"] = 
            {
                ["SN_FS"] = 
                {
                    ["debug"] = false,
                    ["version"] = 1,
                    ["stack_on_insert"] = false,
                    ["configVersion"] = 2,
                },
            },
            ["Victoire"] = 
            {
                ["SN_FS"] = 
                {
                    ["debug"] = false,
                    ["version"] = 1,
                    ["stack_on_insert"] = false,
                    ["configVersion"] = 2,
                },
            },
        },
    },
}
