Why is ET: Legacy client superior to vanilla client? Why should you use ET: Legacy client? - ET-Legacy-Competitive/faq GitHub Wiki

ET: Legacy is an updated and modernized client, which aims to fix bugs and security exploits, remove old dependencies, add useful features and modernize its graphics while still remaining compatible with ET 2.60b and as many of its mods as possible. The most important features of ET: Legacy client are as follows:

• a fast, built-in minimizer;
• widescreen support - no more wrecked nerves trying to set the correct resolution - all done via game menu;
• smoother, better performance than 2.60b client - stable FPS;
• an easy to run installer to get you in battle in no time - you don't have to spend 3 hours fixing 2.60b client issues to start the game;
• you only need to install 1 file - there's no need to install and use Rinput, Minimizer and such;
• an updated engine with nearly all known security issues and exploits fixed;
• the game has been translated into dozens of languages - play the game in your native language!
• you can actually search for servers in-game.
