Bugs Fixed
  • Fixed a bug that made the chat appear when pressing Alt+Enter to enter Fullscreen or Windowed mode.

  • Fixed a bug that made the screen randomly flash during a match.
  • Fixed some visual issues at the acid in the Temple of Sacrifice and some rocks in Metal God Arena.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed players to open the emote’s radial menu while the match is loading.
  • Fixed an interface bug that kept the cooldown cursor appearing while using a gamepad.
  • Fixed a bug that was preventing the skin models’ names appear in the purchase confirmation window.
