Is this typical of what everyone else is seeing? Does it just need some work? Or is Archy just dead now?
The problem I am having and it's the most important to me because I have vision issues is that there are no longer dig sites showing on the main map so I don't know where to go. The used to be orange in color but they are no longer there. Please fix this if possible. Otherwise the program functions okay.
I'll wait for a fix but as of the time of posting I no longer have the following:
1. Digsite window
2. Minimap arrows pointing to nearest digsite
3. Shovel icon on world map showing general area where a digsite is located in zones.
I can locate digsites, its just I have to travel over every inch of a zone till I find the digsite area show up on the minimap.
For 1 and 2: Do you have BugSack so you can see and report Lua errors?
For 3: Blizzard removed this functionality from the game.
1 & 2: No errors at all, just no functionality.
3: What the actual fun, what a dumb move.
I'll give removing the Archy savedvariables file a go to see if that fixes 1 & 2 for me.
Tried removing the saved variables and when first loading into Order Hall (Paladin) I had the digsite window show up but when going into legion zones it stopped showing up, no errors popping up either.
2. the two windows come and go especially the digsite window. If this window appears it is only after combat and it disappears for while after next combat not reappearing until several mobs have subsequently died. When it next appears it shows only the three buttons across the top. Otherwise it is blank. The distance indicator is grey. The solution progress window functions correctly.
I installed the alpha 4591417. There is still some weird interaction with combat. I had the windows up and working until I went into combat and then never again. The Tom Tom arrow is back though.
I'm using 7.1.0.2, just running it and Bugsack/BugGrabber. The latter two don't show any errors, hovering over the BugSack minimap icon says "You have no bugs, yay!", but pressing the Archy button only shows up the Artifacts window, not the Digsites window.
I'm wondering if this is related to the same "locations" problem that Rarity is having. Check the Curse thread on their mod site, but it appears it's something on Curse's end and they said they'll look at it Monday.

Weirdest thing: when I activate Archy in Vanilla zones, it works (with the Alpha), but Azsuna is still busted.
I can't believe Blizz actually thought making Archaeology somehow worse than Fishing would be a good idea. Whoever decided to remove shovels and such from the map needs a good firing.
I found out what my problem was, somehow the digsites got disabled on the world/mini map.
To fix my problem I opened the World map and in the top right corner i clicked on the magnifying glass and selected "Digsites". After that I was getting the digsite window showing, shovels on the world map and arrows on the minimap pointing to digsites.
What I am getting from bugsack are ones for locale such as " 11x Archy\Locale\zhTW-Traditional Chinese.lua:282: unexpected symbol near '=' " This is with the latest alpha

Curse Premium7.1.0.2
numerous issues
1. no tom tom arrow anymore
2. the two windows come and go especially the digsite window. If this window appears it is only after combat and it disappears for while after next combat not reappearing until several mobs have subsequently died. When it next appears it shows only the three buttons across the top. Otherwise it is blank. The distance indicator is grey. The solution progress window functions correctly.
3. bugsack contains no errors.
Thanks
I installed the alpha 4591417. There is still some weird interaction with combat. I had the windows up and working until I went into combat and then never again. The Tom Tom arrow is back though.
Works great in older content but in Broken Lands it's not that great :(
I'm using 7.1.0.2, just running it and Bugsack/BugGrabber. The latter two don't show any errors, hovering over the BugSack minimap icon says "You have no bugs, yay!", but pressing the Archy button only shows up the Artifacts window, not the Digsites window.
Three more notes:
I do have the 'Display' box ticked in the 'Dig Sites' section of the Options.
The hover-over on the minimap icon doesn't display dig sites, but does display artifacts.
Both the regular digsites and the hover-over reappear if I go to Pandaria.
Please let me know if you'd like more information and/or screenshots.

The digsites in Archy are handled via a manually maintained table.
Once the current digsites are added, the digsite frame shows as usual.
If i can figure out how to contribute to Archy, i can provide the team with the updated digsites (as far as i know them)
Ohhh, so it's just this fortnight's digsites in Azsuna? That totally makes sense.

Curse PremiumBugSack does not show anything because it is not a bug in LUA as such.
Thing is that Archy finds the digsites in Azsuna (the currently only available one afaik) but there is no data in Archy for these (YET!).
So, Archy says that there are no digsites therefore no digsite frame is necessary.
Only try this if you have any idea what you are doing :) :
You can add these yourself by copying them from
/archy debug
to the <wowinterfacefolder>/archy/Database/Digsites.lua
There are already entries there.
You can always just wait for the next update to come, which would be safer i guess.
EDIT:
Once the digsites can be found, the digsite frame will reappear and have all its functionality. The minimap arrows will be back as well. :)

Is there alpha somewhere that is newer than 7.1.0.2?
Confused a bit after reading latest comments :)
What I am getting from bugsack are ones for locale such as " 11x Archy\Locale\zhTW-Traditional Chinese.lua:282: unexpected symbol near '=' " This is with the latest alpha
So is Archy stable yet? Or should I start looking for an alternative?
