Ok any one else hate this new launcher ? It reminds me of epic games launcher and i have to say I am not a fan of it. Why do they have to change a good thing… My motto has always been if it aint broke dont fix it.
I’m guessing you posted this in the wrong forums, because I have no idea what you’re talking about.
The launcher isn’t new, and Epic wasn’t the first place to come up with it.
In fact, I’m pretty sure Blizz had this launcher before Epic, and Blizz wasn’t the first either.

No they updated it today to some thing new. Total Redesign.
It was updated last week actually, just some of us (like myself) don’t close the launcher that often. I didn’t notice it until Friday.
I’ve closed the launcher several times now and have not seen any change. Maybe it’s a retail player problem.

No its classic as well, you have to update it, you will know its new because the background is blue not the normal brown. One of the things i hate about it.
Well, if you have to update it for this change to happen… just don’t update it, probably? Apparently that isn’t something that happens automatically.
Also… brown? The background of the launcher is an image based on the game you’re selecting, no?

At OP launcher updates come out if the launcher is closed or not. This seems more like an issue with your computer then the launcher itself.
The launcher is the same for the entire blizzard/activation player base. Playing retail wouldn’t have an affect on this. You get the same thing if you play Call of Duty, OW or WoW.

What? I’m not seeing anything different. I’ve exited the launcher and reloaded nothing has changed from the past year

Mine still the same, i tried exiting / logging out etc. I can’t seem to get mine to update to what you have. Maybe its being rolled out intermittent? I play classic but i selected Retail to be on the the same launcher playing field
https://imgur.com/a/4rBCXNCAre you signed up for the launcher beta? It is the only other thing I can think of.
Thats exactly what it is. I just opt in for the Beta and i now have the version people are talking about.
Ok then if you want it back to normal opt out of the beta. But I think things will become like this in a few weeks.
well normally beta is good, but im not a fan of this new launcher. Especially the friends section. I wish i could put my favorites on top but it defaults to the people playing wow above my favorites.
Hope they’ll give an option to control the visibility of the friends list
I am sure there is a way to give feedback to blizzard about this, but the classic forums isn’t the place. I think the launcher has it’s own set of forums. You may want to raise these concerns there.
I remember finding something like that when I had to find a way to fix a bug with the launcher a few months ago.
