It's not just about the visuals. The vanilla client is 22 years old now and doesn't run well on modern hardware (stutters, frame drops, memory limit crashes). The client they were developing had a classic graphic mode for people who preferred the classic look but it (if finished) still offered better performance and addon support and overall a more polished experience. VS having to deal with all these modded exes plus DLL and binary patches conflicting with each other causing crashes and bugs and addons all doing their own UI things instead of being standardized.Dwarfwarrior wrote: Sun Aug 02, 2026 2:42 pm Hopefully not, classic has such a timeless and iconic art style. Unreal engine is just the same trash over produced slop and exaggerated lighting
