Ahh that would explain why my cursor was going nuts randomly hopping between regular and loading arrows every couple seconds.

I can't even access the new launcher - the option to select it in the launcher Config is greyed out, although I suspect that the new launcher uses DX11, where as I'm still a 32-bit/DX9 hold-out. I guess this will finally kill off 32-bit access to the game for good.

Ah well, it was to be expected, so I cannot complain.

EDIT: and a FC mate suggested it may be that the new launcher is using Microsoft Edge's API under the hood (which I don't have installed on this Win 7 machine), where as the old launcher uses Internet Explorer. Guess I'll have to finally join the year 2015 and upgrade.

There is nothing wrong with it. If they made the launcher black people would have screamed they wanted white. You cannot please these people EVER.

Wow, that's hyperbolic lol.

I just like dark themes, they're easier on my eyes. I'm not gonna take any drastic action or anything over the launcher changing though.

please can we have a dark skin version of this new launcher it hurts my eyes looking at it too long it may only really be a problem on patch days or there is interesting news on it but this sums it up for me:

Definitely squirm from eye strain, I'll yield if I'd have to see it every time I need to log on at night XD

As someone who suffers eye migraine. A dark mode would be very appreciated before the old launcher is removed for good..!

I mean, it's fine the way it is. The reason all of you have melting eyes is because your screens are brighter than your rooms. Your monitor should be the same brightness as your room to prevent ..
vision loss and eye strain....

I mean, turn on a light?
