UI

• Fixed an issue where the text for “Accept All” in the Battle Pass Rewards popup was being cut off.
• [PC & Mobile] Fixed an issue with the text for “Includes these Weapon Skins” and “Includes these additional items:” was not displaying correctly in Mallhalla.
• Fixed a bug with the UI refresh where several english letters were missing from parts of the UI including the search bar and other input fields

Localization

• Fixed several spelling errors.

• We are graduating many Windows improvements we have been testing in the Steam tech-test branch!
• The previous Steam Tech-Test beta branch will become the default version of Brawlhalla. This version fully supports 64-bit architecture.
• There will be a new Steam Windows 32-bit branch created called 32bit-windows. This is what used to be the default version of Steam. If you are on a 32-bit OS or have problems with the 64-bit client you should switch to this branch.
• These improvements have already been released on macOS, so Mac players should continue to use the default branch.

Advanced Launched Parameters

• The -framefix parameter to improve 64-bit frame rates is now the default on Windows 64-bit. It is no longer needed and can be removed. There is now a -noframefix parameter that disables this behavior but we do not recommend its use.
• For high FPS monitors we recommend setting your refresh rate with the -setfps <FRAME RATE> parameter, ex: -setfps 144. Going above your monitor’s refresh rate should only be done after experimentation with your PC since some PCs will see a performance decrease.
• We have renamed the -framefixunbounded parameter to -triplebuffer. We recommend using -triplebuffer only after experimentation since some PCs will see a performance decrease while using it.
• We are deprecating the -unlockfps parameter and we may remove it in a future release. It is identical to calling “-setfps 1000” and using it can cause performance problems on some PCs.
