So the metamagic feat known as Irresistible Spell is from a campaign setting known as KoK (Kingdoms of Kalamar) a relatively unknown setting. If you have the metamagic feats Envelop the Wall (another KoK feat) and Maximize Spell and also have a Spellcaster level 7+, you can qualify for this feat.
Irrestible Spell has the following benefit:
Spells you cast that normally allow a saving throw do not allow a saving throw. An irresistible spell uses up a spell slot 4 levels higher than the spell's actual level.
A friend of mine says that there was an errata about it that changes the effect so that it instead add a +10 to the DC instead. Does anyone know where this errata can be found or is called?
I cannot for the life of me find any reference to it.

The feat was printed in its altered form in KoK: Player's Guide to the Sovereign Realms
A bit of googling turned up this post in a GiTP thread where the mystery is helpfully explained by user ZamielVanWeber:
And indeed, on digging up a copy of the Player's Guide to the Sovereign Lands, it features the altered version of Irresistible Spell. The short description in the feats table still states it allows the caster to "forbid saving throws" (as can be seen in the free preview of the book), but its descriptive entry in the full text only has it add +10 to the DC.
What makes it "unofficial"?
The "official" vs. "unofficial" distinction owes itself to Kenzer & Company's complicated legal history with Wizards of the Coast. During the 3/3.5e era, Kenzer had a licence to produce D&D material using the KoK campaign setting, branded with the WotC logo (stating "official licensed product"). Kenzer made a lot of these books, mostly in the 2001-2003 period; the 3.5 revision came out in the middle of 2003, and so the latest of those "official licensed products" indicate use of the 3.5 revision in their text.
The original KoK: Player's Guide, however, was published in 2002, before the 3.5 revision, and an updated version wasn't released during that period. KoK: Player's Guide to the Sovereign Lands came out much later in 2006, does not bear the official WotC licensed product brand, and in fact takes care to note that it does not contain any material reprinted from other D&D sources, unlike its predecessor. It seems that by the time Kenzer wanted to print the 3.5 update for the Player's Guide they had abandoned or terminated the licence for some reason, so Kenzer simply published material in such a way that they figured they were legally in the clear without using WotC's copyrights (Kenzer has a lot of form for this, having previously published unlicensed KoK supplements for AD&D and going on to publish material for 4e without conforming to 4e's GSL).
The takeaway is that the original version of the feat as printed in the KoK: Player's Guide is technically from an official Wizards of the Coast 3e product, albeit only via licensing and written/published by a third party. The 3.5e revision from KoK: Player's Guide to the Sovereign Lands is not, so for a table that cares about whether or not books have the WotC brand, the 3.5e version isn't official. It was, however, all written and published by the same company and the same people, who actually own the Kalamar setting.
