2.0.1 Reforged campaigns are broken in Classic HD mod

PTR Discussion and Bug Report
1

The new Reforged campaigns doesn’t support the new Classic HD graphics at all. In Reforged, separate animations were made for each model in cutscenes, they have a different scaling, some sounds are adjusted for them, and much more. All this doesn’t work with Classic HD graphics enabled, because many things are simply missing from classic models.
Here are some solutions to the problem:

  1. You need to fully adapt the campaigns to the new assets, which will definitely require a lot of effort.
  2. Just forbid playing the Reforged campaign in Classic HD mode. In this case, the above-mentioned problems can be avoided, but at a rather high price. As compensation, you can allow classic campaigns to be played in Classic HD mode.

Using the example of the The Culling of Stratholme, the video shows what Classic HD graphics looks like at the moment:

THIS!

Reforged Campaign should NOT be playable with Classic HD assets. It ruins the whole experience.
There is a classic version of the campaign already that is better suited for the classic assets.

And please, do add back patch 1.33’s campaign back to Reforged. Those changes were amazing.
It hurts when we know that a better version of the campaign exists, that we simply cannot access anymore.

Better yet, hire the author of the “Re-reforged” campaign - insane Monster, or at least consult with him. I think he’s the only one who understands and knows what to do with the campaign.
