2026-08-16 patch notes

Since today, chat options have become a bit wonky. The "world" chat keeps becoming active on my General chat tab even though I explicitly turned it off there to allow it on a separate World chat window.

Every time I log in, I have to again disable world from the General chat window. Could this be fixed so the settings are saved upon logout? It was working as intended yesterday and I have made no changes at all in regards to addons and the like.

for me it was lazypig. if you go /lp and mute world chat, it stops printing in the main window. but yea, didnt happen before update.

• Added compact group and raid frames that remember where you place them

The in-game default compact group raid frames still reset their position after logout. Please, have a look at this!
