NEW graphics options and higher quality[ | ]
These options give more control and allow for higher graphics quality. Most modern gaming computers are easily fast enough to set all of these to their highest setting.
- Added Sharpen option.
- Added Supersampling option (this is a powerful type of anti-aliasing).
- Split Graphics Quality option into two separate options: Texture Quality (Low/High) and Backgrounds Quality (Low/Medium).
- Added option for High quality backgrounds (smoother and less noisy/pixely).
- Added option to decrease input lag (making controls feel more instant) at the cost of framerate.
- Removed the old multi-threading option and replaced it with the much more powerful Less Input Lag option.
General[ | ]
- Added two more custom game options: a multiplier for passive health regen (which can also be negative) and shop healing.
- Changed the visual appearance of the Blind status effect.
- Leaving the shop with the B-button of an Xbox-controller no longer activates the B-skill when leaving the shop was bound to another button.
- The indicators for the amplify damage, stun, speedup, snare, slow, silence, invulnerability, weakness, empower and blind status effects have been overhauled so these indicators no longer overlap and to make them easier to check during gameplay.
- The Russian fonts for chat have been updated.
- Increased the size of the randomnauts item popup - it should fit all of the item descriptions now.
- Solar Krab Burgers, heal per coin reduced from 70 to 65
- Droids give 4% more XP per level, making it easier for the team that’s behind to catch up
- Starstorm is now in second place in the map selection list.

- Fixed issue on Mac where an item in the carousel with an ‘&’ in the weblink would not open correctly in the browser.
- Fixed issue between enemy and allied droids. Previously when opposing droids would move up or down a ledge at the same time they would jump over each other and idle until one of the droids was destroyed. Now droids that jump over each other will turn back and fight each other instead of idling.

The airstrike was never designed to reveal hide areas, this was originally a byproduct of its technical implementation. Because the airstrike was overhauled to work on the starstorm map it lost this area revealing ‘bug’. Previously the hide area in which the airstrike spawned was revealed for the entire duration of the airstrike. We felt this revealed the hide area for too long, potentially limiting the enemy team's options for an ambush. At the same time it had limited utility because the airstrike had to be placed inside the area. By making the airstrike reveal all hide areas it hits we expect it to be more intuitive to use. At the same time the airstrike only reveals at the moment it strikes so it no longer just cancels a hide area for long periods of time.
- Airstrike, now reveals all hide areas hit by Airstrike at the moment the strike triggers.
