Radical Heights is a new Battle Royale Game which has been positively escorted by lots of players. The game offers cool mechanics to begin with, and being in an X-TREME Early Access does not stop the developer at all. Well, after discovering a couple of issues, Boss Key Studios had nothing else to do but release a first significant update. Hence, it has finally come.
The First Patch in its timeline is supposed to be good and fix numerous types of issues, so Boss Key Studios have tried removing multiple bugs and issues, while also increasing the FPS by far. Furthermore, the developer has decided to allow Bike Tricks to become a thing of Radical Heights, so abilities to perform multiple tricks are now available.
Despite the performance improvement as one of the most notable patch change, there have been some fixes regarding gameplay. One of them is the corresponding armor color reflects its tier correctly.
Like any other game, Radical Heights did not miss the chance to add more cosmetics to the game. The game has received new dresses so players can further optimize the look of their character. If you firmly remember, there was a FAL weapon on the main menu screen with an explanation that is coming to the game. Well, this patch brings the gun into the play.
One thing’s amusing, and that is the avoidance of the green flickering when played on full screen. The developers have managed to avoid fixing that issue, regardless of the significant amount of performance improvements the patch brings. Below you can find the detailed list with changes.
