Patch Notes 1.9.0

We know that using League Broadcast hasn’t always been a great experience, and issues in many areas have prevented the experience from being what it could be, and the entire software and resulting productions have suffered because of it.

We’ve been hard at work at tackling those issues, reducing crashes, weird behavior, and hopefully the resulting frustration.

A full UI overhaul on the most sketchy elements, fixing things that kinda sorta worked for too long, and bringing clarity to those. From the side bar, its layout, to the app status, game setup, caster mode buttons, and so forth.

We also have a couple really exciting new features included and coming up. One of those being our revamped style editor. We’re still in the process of adding all our features to the new style system, and it’s not 100% ready, so for now, its an experimental opt in. Existing overlays will continue working as usual, but for those who want to test the new system and give us feedback, it’s only a toggle away!

We have a few more very exciting features and news coming very soon, so stay tuned!

🆕 New & Updated

• Redesigned Tournament, Teams, Players, and Seasons views
• Broadcast flow UI: League Broadcast shows you what you need, when you need it, with the most important actions highlighted and a click away instead of burried within setting pages or multiple clicks away.
• Rebuild in-game and post-game Caster Mode with hotkeys, create-your-own buttons, per-button configuration, and reliable reset logic.
• Style Editor v2. A fully rebuilt overlay editor with a live layer tree, per-property panels, drag/snap grid, overlay silhouette guides, and undo/redo. Currently experimental, enable via the existing editor or settings.
• Basic Tier: Cinematics. Add score, team names, logos directly into the world! Including editor and creator for cinematic camera sequences everyone is used to and knows, with additional tracks for in-world objects. Embedded editor available for free.
• Match switching. Quickly change which match you will spectate without abandoning your current match.
