Patch #2

Changelog

7th December 2016 -VRAM / Memory leak issue fixed that made the game use up all RAM, then crashing. -Russian voiceovers added -Settings should now save correctly if Windows user name contains non-ANSI characters -Crash when corrupt Key mapping was read fixed. We don't know yet how corrupt Key mapping files are written. -BFA Achievement should now unlock correctly (should unlock on game start if you have already earned it) -The tutorial text explaining how to throw objects was showing the wrong button for keyboard / mouse users.

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  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.

 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!
