    Just wondering how come we have to re-download the client I remember there use to be a little patcher that loads in all the new files for you maybe the coding on that is complex?

    I'd imagine the issue is with individual file version control, and the work needed to do that. It also requires somewhere to host these files for the patcher(compared to just using mega or something), which is not free. It is a nice convenience, and I think there's a lot of other solutions online that allows for the version control to be easily handled for it, but it would still require to host the files somewhere that allows each file to be downloaded individually.

    We've tried similar things multiple times but it comes down to the following issues

    1) The patcher getting interrupted because MapleLegends.exe is getting blocked, causing an incomplete patch
    2) MAC users are unable to open the patcher at all because of course

    With the average internet speed going faster and faster and MapleLegends "only" being 2gb while the official servers are getting close to 30gb (if they didn't already got there), this is just the way it is

    I didn't even consider the issue that issue of the .exe being blocked because of how windows defender works(assume it is the culprit), and I can imagine a lot of .dll files being potentially troublesome as well.
