Beyond the general polish, we've specifically added missing translations for numerous in-game elements, including skill popups, weight tiers, controller buttons, and unique item descriptions, ensuring a truly localized experience.[/p][p]To further enhance your localized experience, from now on, when you launch Dark Envoy for the first time, the game will automatically detect your system's language settings. If we've localized the game into that language, it will launch directly in your preferred language, saving you the hassle of manually changing it![/p][p]Beyond translation, you'll notice several quality-of-life improvements throughout Dark Envoy, including streamlined game menu, enhanced UI and character customization refinements.[/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]Patch Notes[/h3][p]Version: 1.7.0.73927; download size: 25.7 GB[/p][p][/p][p]Major Improvements:[/p]

[p]Translation Changes:[/p]

• [p]Upon the first launch, the game will now check the system language and select the game language accordingly.[/p]
• [p]Added translations for the loading screen.[/p]
• [p]Added missing translations for popups displayed during draw path skills.[/p]

[p]\[Known issue: some gamepad controllers may occasionally cause a crash window to pop up when closing the game (to be resolved in next update)][/p][p][/p][p]Why the Large Patch Size?[/p][p]This patch is large because of the extensive changes made to core game systems. These changes required replacing many core game files, resulting in a significant download size. Once again, we felt it was more important to deliver a comprehensive fix than to try to deliver a smaller patch that would have left many issues unresolved. [/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]We're immensely grateful for your continued support for Dark Envoy.

[p]Hello Dark Envoy Community,

We're pleased to announce that Dark Envoy now supports Italian localization, which is included in our latest Update 1.6.2, "Italian Job" (download size: 85.4MB).

This extensive localization effort was made possible through the incredibly dedicated work of Mr. Rocco Pezzullo and the entire Language Pack Italia team. Their passion for bringing Dark Envoy to Italian-speaking players truly shone through every step of the process. From meticulous translation to rigorous in-game testing, their commitment ensured a high-quality and immersive experience.

We extend our sincerest gratitude for their significant contributions and collaborative spirit.

You can learn more about Language Pack Italia at their website: https://languagepack.it. You can also join their Discord community here: discord.gg or reach Rocco directly on Discord (his nickname is ".freemont")

To celebrate this exciting new addition, and for a limited time, Dark Envoy is now available with a significant discount! This is the perfect opportunity for new adventurers to delve into its unique blend of magic and technology, and for our Italian-speaking players to experience the world of Dark Envoy in their native language at an incredible value. [/p][p][/p][h3]Our Commitment to Italian Localization[/h3][p]As many of you know, our first title, Tower of Time, was also localized in Italian. Given the positive reception and our appreciation for our Italian-speaking players, it was important for us to extend the same commitment to Dark Envoy. We believe offering Italian localization enhances the game experience for a significant portion of our community.

As such, we invite our Italian fans to experience Dark Envoy in your native language. We've worked hard to ensure a quality translation. If you notice any areas for improvement or have feedback, please share it with us directly in our Discord channel: #bug-reporting.

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink] [/p][h3]Upcoming Improvements to Dark Envoy[/h3][p]We want to assure you that we are actively working on a major update to address game freezes and crashes experienced by some players. Our team is focused on resolving these technical issues to provide a stable and smooth experience. We anticipate releasing this significant update by the end of June 2025.

But that is obviously not all and you can expect some surprise. Your input, including feedback to Italian localization, is valuable as we continue to refine the game and all localizations. That final Polish to all languages is planned to be included in the June update.

This is not our final word on the game, and Dark Envoy version 2.0 is in the works.
