Hollow Knight 1.1.1.4 (Hidden Dreams) Patch Notes

[wilbop]

Hi everyone, Hidden Dreams is here! Let's jump into some notes about what's new in the technical side of things.

NEW LANGUAGE: ITALIAN

Hollow Knight can now be played in Italian, thanks to the help of a fantastic, dedicated bunch of fan translators!

CONTROLLERS: NATIVE INPUT MODE (BETA)

Some players have been having issues with their controllers not being recognised by the game, or behaving weirdly. As a step toward fixing the issue, we've added this alternative control mode to the game.

If you're having issues with your controller, go to Options > Game Options and turn Native Controller Input (Beta) to 'On'. This should hopefully solve the issue.

Note that this feature is still in Beta and will need some more testing before it is fully stable.
Some testers have a reported an issue where quitting to the main menu causes the game to crash and close, but they report that this happens AFTER the save occurs so no data is lost - it's a just a bit inconvenient/jarring. We'll collect everyone's feedback on this feature and integrate it into the game fully in future.

It's an automatic download and is simply integrated into the game.

We'll also leave 1.0.3.7 on "public-beta" for now; in case people need to revert or don't want to update just yet.

If only this update can be alternative. I am reaching the middle stage of this game, I worry this update might cause me confused of the places I already explored.

Was wondering why it wasn't updating, but well, is for the best!

Also, I just saw someone posting about performance improvements in the Trial of Fools with the update, I hope it carries for the MAC version as well.
