CurseForge Support (2024)

The CurseForge app is connected to the same repository as the CurseForge website, and allows many mod authors to upload their projects to it and share it with the world!

If you're using a mod that cannot be found in the CurseForge app or website, it can mean:

1. That the mod is pending review by CurseForge's moderators, and should be available once it's approved (check out the working hours of the moderation team here).
   Or
2. The project is not available in the repository, and therefore will not be detected by the CurseForge app.

Why don't certain mods get uploaded to CurseForge?

Mods and addons in the CurseForge repository are submitted and managed directly by their creators.

Some authors prefer to host their addons and mods in other sources, in which case their projects will not be available in CurseForge.

If you would like to see an addons or mods you enjoy in CurseForge, contact the authors and submit a request to them.

If the app's screens take too long to load or do not load at all, it can as a result of a connection interference, caused by Intel Killer Networking Software (or a different program similar to it).

If you have Intel Killer Networking Software installed, please make sure to install the latest available updates, then relaunch CurseForge.

If you don't have it installed, or if you require further assistance - please contact us and we will do our best to help!

To solve this issue, please open the menu to the right and select 'Repair folder permissions':

You may notice this warning message for certain addons that you currently have installed. This warning indicates that the installed addon does not match the game's current instance, or that there may be something wrong with the addon's files.

To resolve this issue, simply right click the addon and choose 'Reinstall' (or 'Update'):

If reinstalling the mod didn't help, please delete it, make sure you are currently set on the right instance (if you have more than one installed), search for the mod and install it again. If you are unable to find the mod when searching for it, it means that it's not available for your currently set instance, and is meant to be installed for a different one.

**Please note that mods in 'Modified' or 'Working Copy' states will not get automatically updated. This is not an issue, but rather made intentionally in order to protect these mods' files from getting overwritten or deleted by updates.

***As of May 19th, 2021 a new instance of the game named 'Burning Crusade Classic' - These instructions are relevant for this new instance as well. Follow the Tooltip box instructions and click 'Update All'.

If you're experiencing any graphic glitches in the app like flickering, visual artifacts, grainy texture or a completely blank black screen, disabling hardware acceleration could fix that.

Please try the following solutions according to the CurseForge app you currently have installed:

• Overwolf

• Standalone

  1. Right-click the app's shortcut

  2. Select 'Properties'

  3. Select the 'Shortcut' tab

  4. Copy the following argument (including the leading space):
     --disableHardwareAcceleration

  5. Paste it to the very end of the Target line
