The GW2 Unofficial Addon Manager is an application that seeks to simplify the process of installing various addons and plugins for Guild Wars 2. Here, you'll find information about installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
Make sure your system meets the requirements. If you already have addons or plugins installed, read this.
Steps:
- Download the latest stable release
- Extract the zip file to any location you like
- Run "GW2 Addon Manager.exe"
It's also a good idea to update your Microsoft Visual C++, since some addons rely on it and will crash if it's not available. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
Note that this manager obviates the need to use any other installation process for the addons you install, and attempting to use another installer or manually editing files may break the plugin configuration. Addons are stored in [Game Folder]/addons.
The link above has info about common issues users may encounter and how to fix them or file a bug report.
Note that the program won't work while GW2 or the GW2 launcher is running, as it needs to access and modify files that are locked while the game is active.
- Make sure that the game path is set correctly (the default is C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2)
- Select the addons you want to install using the checkboxes and click the large UPDATE button on the lower right
- The next time you launch GW2, the addons you selected should be active!
