Removed Settings
[edit]Show Vertical Upgrades
[edit]The Show Vertical Upgrades setting was added on the 31st of March 2023. This setting was enabled by default, which meant that the game could show you vertical upgrades. However, vertical upgrades would only appear on mobile devices. On computers, the Prefer Vertical Upgrades setting also had to be enabled. When disabled, it would make it so that you have the horizontal upgrade box UI instead of the vertical one. It would also cause the Prefer Vertical Upgrades to do nothing, regardless if it was enabled or disabled.
This setting was accidentally added on the 31st of March 2023 when vertical upgrade boxes were not added yet, which made it useless. Additionally, it only appeared in the lobby. On the 7th of April 2023, vertical upgrade boxes were added, which made the Show Vertical Upgrades setting work. Additionally, the setting could now appear during matches. This setting would later be removed on the 14th of April 2023, so that there would only be one setting for vertical upgrades. With its removal, it is no longer possible to have horizontal upgrade boxes on mobile devices.

This setting only worked for players that first joined the game after 4th of December 2021. Anyone who joined before that date had the setting enabled, but it was not possible to disable it. Despite it being enabled, the cash trails would not be visible. On the 17th of April 2022, this setting was removed, fixing older players not being able to see cash trails.
Damage Values
[edit]The Damage Values setting was added on the 4th of March 2020. This setting was enabled by default, which meant that the total amount of damage dealt to an enemy in a second. This would be displayed by having red numbers appear next to an enemy when damaged, which would increase as the enemy received more damage. After a second passed, it would stop increasing and another total damage counter would appear. It would disappear some time after the count has ended. When disabled, these would not appear.
