Is It Broke?

Minion worked fine for me this morning. This afternoon I try to run it and it gets stuck at Loading ESO Addons. Closed it, ran it again, same thing. Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled.. same thing. Every now and then it pops up a dialog asking me where the addons are. I point it to the right directory, and it goes back to the blue scanning line. Tried deleting the .minion folder - same issue.

Anyone have a clue what I should do next???

Does it seem like it was temporary? it started working normally again. good luck.

Close, delete minion.xml, check the troubleshooting guide (sticky thread) and follow it.
And at patch days it can also happen that esoui.com,and thus Minion, got more load. Try later again then

Turns out it was working, just REALLY slow. I opened the log in SublimeText, which can be set to update files as they change. I watched it add 5-10 lines a minute, minute after minute. Finally, a half hour later, it finished loading. I updated the few addons that needed it, and it worked normally. And it's still working normally now. First time I've ever see that happen. Next big patch, I'll be a little more patient.
