SILKSONG PATCH 4 INCLUDING NEW CHINESE FAN TRANSLATION
Hollow Knight: Silksong's Patch 4 (1.0.29242) is now live for all PC players, and coming soon to console!
This one includes another big bug-fix pass, but the biggest update is the introduction of a new Simplified Chinese translation provided by the talented fan group Team Cart Fix!
Team Cart Fix's translation has been available to the Silksong community (in mod form) for a while now, with many thousands of players having already experienced, and praised their work.
Their translation builds from elements of the original Silksong translation, retaining existing names for most characters and places, except in instances where the original translation was incorrect, or inconsistent with Hollow Knight. Most importantly, this is a translation by fans who are well-versed in the (quite dense) narrative and lore of both Hollow Knight games, and understand the subtle links and connections that should be retained in the text.
A huge thanks to the team!
Additionally, under the hood, we’ve now upgraded to Unity's Input System to provide additional controller support. This one’s been a while coming, as it’s a fairly significant change.
Unity’s Input System is much more fully featured than our previous setup, and is still actively improving. Please note: Though it adds many additional features and controller types, there are still limits, including some quirks around certain bluetooth/wired combinations (eg wired Xbox 360 controllers on Mac will now require an additional driver). If you’re experiencing issues with your controller, please check the support list in the patch notes below.
