New Blade Kitten Build! 60fps! (OpenBeta branch)

Hey everybody!

So… We’ve got a new build of Blade Kitten ready to go with a few fixes!

We’ve not pushed this live to the standard branch at this point as we want to do some more testing first, but decided to push it live to an open beta branch so anybody can use it if they want to, as we know some of you are hanging out for the 60fps option.

To access the Open Beta, you will have to:

  • Right click on "Blade Kitten" in your library and select properties
  • Go to the BETA tab
  • Change the drop down of the Beta you'd like to particpate in to have "openbeta" selected
  • You may have to quit Steam and reload it to see the Beta
  • Using the Beta is at your own risk :)

If you have any problems that are SPECIFIC TO THIS NEW OPEN BETA BUILD, please add a note to this sticky discussion:

60 fps selection

  • There is an option to set “60 Hz” on and off in the graphics menu now – to unlock to 60 fps
  • 60fps is the new default setting

Language Selection

  • The game now selects the appropriate language, based off the Steam language setting (in Steam Preferences -> Interface)
  • If Steam is set to a language that doesn’t exist in the game, it will default to English
  • The game supports English, French, German, Spanish and Italian

Borderless Window Mode

  • As a work around for those people who are having full screen resolution issues, we have implemented borderless window mode, as a command line option
  • In the Properties panel for Blade Kitten, click “set launch option” and use the following commandline: noborder x=0 y=0
  • This will create a window at the top left of your screen, at whatever resolution you have set as your “window” resolution in the graphics settings
  • You can then use the x= and y= offsets to change the position of the borderless window
  • It will not remember the last window position, so that you don’t accidentally “lose” the position

Background gamepad support

  • There’s another command line that will turn on background gamepad support – so you could (eg) run the game on one screen with gamepad, while somebody else is doing something on the 2nd monitor with keyboard/mouse
  • Add the following to the launch options (with a space between any other options): MKBackgroundGamepad

Happy gaming!
