Legacy Client getting removed?

Motıon·Dec 7, 2016·1 votes·1,716 views

For those of you who haven’t yet opted into open beta, we’ll be releasing a big chunk of files (~500 MB) later on in the patch. This download (and similar downloads with our normal patches going forward) will split the updated client into smaller chunks, reducing the final download size when it’s time to deprecate the legacy client. If you’ve opted into open beta, you’ve already downloaded these files, so you’ll be pretty much unaffected.

Does this mean they will be getting rid of it?

Eventually I'm sure they will but I hope they wait until they've at least zapped most of the bugs and made it run smoother. As of now it's a laggy pos with tons of bugs.

I don't have lag issues, but I have a mid+ range pc. Have you tried the low-spec mode out yet to see if it offers any improvement?

There's a low-spec mode?

First box in the General Options. Was added in this patch. It reduces some of the animations, and they intend to make it reduce other things more in the coming patches to help people with performance issues.

Ty, I'll try it and see if I'm able to accept matches now.

It's expected they would eventually. Personally I hope they make the new client less buggy before hand. Old client skill has the Mac crash problem.

They said from the start that the intention of the beta client is to eventually replace the legacy client completely. It won't be for a while yet, as they still need to fix a lot of bugs and add features, but that is the intent.
