Radical Heights’ new patch brought in a Scanner Gadget, Core Issues remain unfixed

For a game in this stage, Radical Heights and Boss Key Productions should focus on something different than just releasing new and totally unreliable content in the game. It is not appropriate, having into consideration the poor optimization the game has so far. Even after multiple core issues encounters, the developer has decided to release new items and cosmetics instead of dealing with the core issues.

The annoying green flickering is still there when the game is played in Full Screen. Instead of fixing it and allowing players to opt-in full-screen and allow lower gaming rigs gain some FPS, the developer somewhat ignored it and left it in the game even after the second “major” update.

No matter how many new items the game received, the remaining of the core issues are still quite bothering. It may be the reason Radical Heights’ popularity drowned in waters. Is this the very reason? It’s like the developers want the players to ignore their ignorance on purpose. It frustrates all the players, despite the already given pain from which Radical Heights misses squads.

However, there’s something new. Radical Heights has decided to add new Gadget, a scanner in the game. It is useful to scan an area for opponents and discover their last position. However, as the game’s popularity goes off, in the end, we may remain and play only against bots.

Overall, it doesn’t feel like a good patch at all, and below you can find the notes:
