It's just a web browser they use to show web pages in-game. The launcher and BLTC for example are web pages. You likely won't even notice the change. The surprising thing is... no beta? I'd expect a beta after the new version of CoherentUI they switched to back in July broke the game for some people.

dXfile.2863 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Wait, we won't notice any impact? I thought it was supposed to make the BLTC/TP run a lot smoother (I could be wrong). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was supposed to make the BLTC/TP run a lot smoother (I could be wrong). Visible impact. As in, it'll look the same. Hopefully it'll run faster though. I had no idea those other parts of the game that_shaman noted pulled stuff from the web. Makes perfect sense why they're so sluggish though...

Guess I interpreted "any visible impact on the player experience" like "any noticeable changes for you" or something. If they meant that there won't be any impact in the graphics, that's fine, I understand that no one should be expecting that. I'm just actually excited for the BLTC/TP to run smoother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, this time with the UI change, Steam has a vested interest in getting it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin.8501 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Hopefully makes the market run smooth. Coherent UI never worked well... in any game it is in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycookie.3247 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) CoherentUI has a memory leak since the last July change and crashes the my game after a switching the maps/using the trading post a few times. I hope the switch to chromium fixes that for me. Edited March 3, 2023 by crazycookie.3247 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
