The IGB is not getting updated, once CREST is up to par the IGB will be removed.

By providing the same data... fairly straight forward really.

That would be the idea yea, just trigger the URL to be opened by your default browser.

NO ITS NOT FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD IGB needs to relay WH mapping data besides reading it out. Also focring people into buying another monitor is absurd
There are other options to get a browser in the client such as overlays. You don't HAVE to get another monitor.

It's not just getting the same data, its also the ability to push things to the client via the IGB javascript methods that are functionally important.
CREST can offer both. CREST has the ability to write and can in the future be used to trigger things in the client.

I feel like you're sidestepping the getting data into the client issue though.
You are not reading my other posts.

So a final post, as this topic has been talked about in a few threads (one nice threadnaught) before:
- The IGB is not being removed anytime soon
- It's also not getting any love
- When we do remove it there will be a nice long conversation at that time
- Browsers are a very complicated thing, they receive a lot of updates and change very fast, they are also a GIANT security threat to your machine.
- There are plenty of options for once we remove the IGB still getting a browser in your client, such as the linked Overwolf overlay. Since those things just use your browser, there is no delay for getting updates.
- We could spend our time keeping the IGB, but when things such as Overwolf and other overlays exist, our time is better spent on the spaceship game.
- We wont remove the IGB until CREST can take over the gameplay functionality.
- For those concerns for "no second monitor" or "playing fullscreen" please see overlays.
This will all come up again when we actually go to remove the IGB, so until then, fly safe guys.
