- Added Simplified Chinese localization
- Added Native Steam controller support
- D3D errors don't crash the game but show a message box with the proper error code

Please note :
When you use Steam Controller, only button prompts for the actual Steam Controller will be shown, never prompts for Dual Shock 4 or other controllers supported by Steam Big Picture. You might end up not seeing button prompts at all if using Dual Shock 4 or other controller via Steam Big Picture.

Patch #4
Changelog
19th December 2016
- Crash on start fix : Game displays a Message box in cases where the steam client fails to provide a save data Api. You need to update steam or reinstall steam to resolve this - or play without saving.
- Abyssal armor was not carried over into a new game if the new game was not started in the same session. Please note : If you *have* a save with abyssal armor already then load that game, save again and restart the application.
- Screen saver should no longer kick in when playing with some game pads.
- Reticle was small (sometimes close to invisible) in any texture Quality other than highest. This has been fixed.
- EXP between Harvester and Scythe was not correctly transferred, fixed now.
- PS4 controller could not be reconnected after disconnect, fixed now.

Stay tuned.
Your THQ Nordic Team.

New Feature : Force saved data import
This allows more control over importing saved data from the original
game into Darksiders Warmastered Edition saved data.

Instructions for Force saved data import
1. Open the file %appdata%\kaiko\darksiders1\config.ini
2. Add the line 'force_save_data_import=true' to the [game] section.

When starting the game it should now always ask you whether or not
to import saved data, given it finds original saved data. Please note
that all slots that your original save contains will get overwritten in
the WME savedata. You can remove unwanted slots from the original saved
data before importing, these are files either in
%userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Darksiders or
%userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Darksiders\[YourSteamID].

Please backup your darksiders1 WME saved data before force
importing, but make sure you store your backup outside of the steam
cloud folder, otherwise the game can't save any more.


We are looking forward for your feedback!
