A minor patch has been deployed for Bloons TD Battles 2. Update 1.3.1 mostly contains bug fixes, including a major fix for alt-tabbing in fullscreen mode.

If you’re playing Bloons TD Battles 2 in fullscreen on PC and running into an issue where alt-tabbing doesn’t work, you must update the game immediately. That’s because Update 1.3.1 has brought a much-needed fix that resolves this particular problem. This is a pretty good one because you can now use alt-tab to go to your web browser in between matches, for example.

Speaking of PC, if you’re having disconnection issues when playing the game with crossplay, you will be happy to know that the developers also implemented changes to minimize their occurrence.

In addition, the new Star Map, introduced in a previous update, is now available on all game modes.

While Update 1.3.1 focuses on providing some bug fixes, this patch does bring two balancing changes as well. First, the Dartling Gunner’s base cost has increased slightly from $825 to $900. Second, the Banana Farm’s xx5 Monkey Wall Street upgrade has its cost increased from $37,500 to $42,500.
