Reforged Graphics for the Windows Client!
Hello! I just saw the Mac client release and I saw that It supports reforged graphics. Do you guys know if we're getting that in the Windows Client? The thing is there are already mods (like Vision Mod) which improves the Reforged Graphics by a lot and I'll like to use them on the W3Champions ladder. At the moment it works fine in the Blizzard ladder.

The reason for this was the way the client was being launched - Windows uses "offline mode" (which does not support reforged gfx), but for Mac we actually had to use "online mode" for technical reasons (which does support reforged gfx since it means your account is validated to own reforged gfx), and some of the reasons for needing offline mode were fixed along with that. But last time we had time to test "online mode" on Windows, there were some significant bugs and glitches, and we haven't had time to dive into that and polish it up to a point that it's safe to release. It might come eventually if someone spends the effort, but it's a pretty deep and technical thing.
Reforged just isn't made with PvP in mind, honestly. Even after many updates by yet another team (as the original Reforged textures were outsourced), and fan mod fixes, you will never achieve visual clarity on such a lvl, that more than a couple of people would choose to play 1v1s in it over Classic.
If you want something more modern looking, check out "Classic Plus" kenshin mod.
