Known Issues
These are some of the issues we are aware of and working on to fix.
start-replay-buffer: This might be because of programs such as RivaTuner. Try adding the Archon App to RivaTuner's Application profile properties, then set Application detection level: None- OneDrive and other cloud sync apps lock permissions, preventing users from recording with an
operation not permittederror - Ultrawide errors: Try using the Software encoding option. This is a limitation of the obs library, and hardware encoders cannot support capturing higher than 4k.
- Audio stops working: This is usually with Bluetooth devices where Windows will assign a new slot for the device after reboot. Try deleting and reselecting your device in the app to fix.
Video

Troubleshooting Steps
- Did you have combat logging enabled in-game?
- Try disabling and re-enabling Recording
- If Preview Video is not working, try a Test Video. Sometimes Preview does not work, but if Test Video works, you should be good to go.
- Try picking a different output folder
Common Issues / FAQ
- No video was recorded during my Raid/M+
Did you have combat logging enabled? Video requires Advanced Combat Logging enabled and combat logging turned on in-game. This requires either doing the /combatlog command or using an addon such as SimpleCombatLogger to enable logging for you.
- Permission Issues
The app doesn't have permissions to write to the selected folder (this can especially be a problem if your save folder is a cloud drive folder like OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc.)
Solution: Try a different folder and see if that fixes the issue.
- Encounter Detection
Encounters are detected properly, but it's not recording.
Try disabling and re-enabling Recording.
Overlays

- Hotkeys aren't working
Note: Hotkeys will only work while the game is in focus.
Try registering a different hotkey to check if your specific combo is invalid (this shouldn't be the case, but let us know if it is)
- Group Applicants doesn't work
The event might be down; check the Event Status here. This generally happens whenever a new patch goes live.

- Not seeing anything in-game?
If you right click someone, including yourself, do you have the Copy WCL URL option?
If not: under Escape -> Game Menu -> Addons, are there 2 entries for ArchonTooltip and ArchonTooltip DB?
It's either:
A) You logged in too fast, and the addon didn't finish installing yet. Try a /reload; if that doesn't help, try a relog.
B) You have multiple WoW installs. The Addon tab in the uploader shows you where it's being installed. Adjust the path accordingly, wait for the install, and then relog.
- Still not seeing anything!
Make sure the character you're interacting with has relevant progress: nothing is shown until the character has at least some heroic progress before the last data regeneration as per the parse gates.
Note: For Fresh, the addon is OPT IN for parses. This means you'll only see Progress for characters that have not opted in to show their parses.
- Login message says server data missing
Please post a screenshot (Either on Discord or to our [email protected]) so we can confirm whether you're on a missing server or if something else is going on. There's a good chance you were too fast logging in, try a /reload first!
- LUA or visual errors
Please post a screenshot (Either on Discord or to our [email protected]).
