Technical cant see chat bubbles

[ExSaint123]

on my ally char, i cant see ally /s and /y but i can see horde /s and /y in [orcish].

similarly, on my horde char i cant see horde /s and /y but i can see ally /s and /y in [common]

cant tell when this started happening, but im pretty sure i didnt add any addons recently

help pls

[skullatbash]

in-game menu -> Social -> enable "chat bubble"

[ExSaint123]

yup already did that, still no effect

[skullatbash]

the issue is just the missing of "bubble" above player's head or you are missing their message being displayed on "chat frame" as well?

[ExSaint123]

just the bubble. i can see the "Defile on me" in the chat box, but i cant see the bubble on top of the persons head

In-game setting -> social -> chat bubbles enabled?

[ExSaint123]

yes i have it enabled.

additional information: on another account, i have no problems with the chat bubbles

disabling all my addons before logging in a character doesnt fix it, however, starting a new WTF folder fixes it. yet its very tiring to reconfigure all of my addons since i use a lot. can anyone help me as to why this is happening?

there is no need to lose addons setting, just delete game setting of that account

Before to do it, make a backup of your WTF folder (so make a copy and place it somehwere)

Now, to delete game settings:
Open WoW folder -> WTF -> Accounts ->"Account name"
Delete:
cache.md5
config-cache.wtf
config-cache.old
SavedVariables.lua
SavedVariables.lua.bak

then open "RealmName" ->"Character name"
And inside each character folder delete:
cache.md5
chat-cache.txt
chat-cache.old
config-cache.wtf
config-cache.old
layout-local.txt
SavedVariables.lua
SavedVariables.lua.bak

(do NOT delete "SavedVariables" folder)

wow this fixed it. do i have to keep doing this every time i encounter the problem? or does it permanently fix it? and what causes me to lose my chat bubbles in the first place?

The reason why I said to delete all those files is because I do not know in which one there is the "info" that cause the issue.

Once in a while make a copy of your WTF folder. (generelly speaking is always a good idea for many different reason)

So if the bug occurs again you can replace those specific files with the ones from backup
