It contains additional improvements to the web-based client such as borderless windowed mode, additional hotkeys, not being tied to your web browser to play and cursor lock to window not lagging.

This project is completely open source. Feel free to fork and make pull requests, additionally please report any issues or bugs here.
This client is still in beta! As much as I try to make a bug-free program, the client can and will still have bugs. If you are a developer and find any issues, please feel free to make pull requests with the fixes.
If updating from versions below 0.8.0:
Versions 0.8.0+ are not compatible with previous versions. The libraries required to run the program have been updated and a full update is needed. Download the complete package from below, and replace your previous files with the updated files. Do not use update_64/86.zip file to update. The data and settings folder can be kept so as to not lose any of your previous configurations, e.g. downloaded replays or login cookies.
Grab the lwg_clientx64.zip file from the latest release. Click here for easier access to the download.
Settings for the client can be set and altered through the settings/{profile_name}.ini file. If the settings are changed in-game, these changes will be reflected on the ini file and viceversa.
To run with a certain profile add the command line argument -profile and the name you want the profile to have:
LittleWarGameClient.exe -profile name
This will also let you run multiple instance of the game at the same time. The default profile name is main.
The OpenGL overlay is enabled by default. You can change the overlay to use Direct2D, or turn the overlay off completely. The overlay allows steam overlay integration, as well as notifications, e.g. Download progress of replays.
Plugin support has been added to enable custom Javascript functionality for the game. Please note that if the game server is updated, your custom functionality might stop working. If you are a developer of a plugin, please update the plugin and send a pull request to the LittleWarGame Plugins Repository.
