For the full list of details and to see how you can participate in the Game Performance test, check out the full blog post!
Game Performance
We’re testing out a fix for reported graphical stutters on Steam using the “tech-test” branch.
To help us test this update:
Right click on Brawlhalla in your Steam library, select “Properties”, navigate to “Betas”, and select “tech-test – Testing new engine tech”. Then, navigate to “General” of Brawlhalla Properties, and in the launch options text field enter “-framefix -setfps 240”. (Change 240 to whatever the maximum hz your monitor is capable of, generally 144, 240, or 360.)
Skirmishes
Skirmishes will be a type of in-game event that splits players into several personal preference themed teams called “Factions” to compete against each other for points called “Influence.” Players earn Influence for their Faction when playing Brawlhalla, and players get bonus Influence for their Factions by playing Ranked against the opposing Factions! The Faction with the most Influence when the Skirmish ends is the winner.
Skirmishes will not be a new Game Mode. It’s a whole new thing. When you log in, you will choose a Faction and get Items based on that faction, like a Title and an Avatar. The winning Faction will get special versions of those Items. Skirmishes are limited time Events that will last around 1-2 weeks, and each Skirmish is a unique theme with unique rewards. We are looking to launch the first Skirmish in October and we’ll have more information on it as we get closer to the date.
UI Refresh First Look
Viewers of the stream got a first look at the first ever major Brawlhalla UI overhaul!
After last year’s refresh of our logo and branding we were inspired to link the in-game UI with this new aesthetic. You’ll notice Legend splash arts in Legend select, a brand new look for the top right player menu, new fonts, all new buttons, and many many other things.
Damage Numbers
This highly-requested new opt-in feature will give an option for players to toggle on a view that displays how much Damage their Legend has taken. On-release this option will be available to select in the top right Player Menu.
BCX 2024
We’ve only begun to preview some features coming to Brawlhalla in the near future. There are many more reveals in store to be shown at BCX 2024! Sign up as a spectator or competitor at BCX.LIVE to be among the first to witness these announcements.
