User Interface Button Icon Overhaul

We are in the process of improving our icon system, and this patch is the start of those improvements. Here are the changes players can expect so far:

• Controller button icons are now universal in look across all screens, and the icons have been reworked to be less distracting for situations when being presented with lots of information at once.

• Controller players with custom binds will now see the correct icon prompt for picking up items.

• Steam:

  • UI prompts for keyboard players with custom keybinds will now show the updated key.

  • Players using PS4 controllers will now see PS4 button icons instead of Xbox 360 icons. In cases where both controllers are being used at the same time, the correct buttons will show for each player.

  • Players using controllers that lack some of the rebindable buttons from the Xbox 360 controller (e.g., GameCube controllers only have one left shoulder button) will no longer see buttons they can't rebind listed on the controller bindings screen.

• PS4:

  • Players using Playstation Vita Remote Play will now see special Vita icons for all buttons.

  • Keyboard players will now see keyboard icons for all buttons.

Malhalla

• New sales items!

Wild Chest has appeared containing 3 exclusive skins!

• Meadowguard Ember

• Lionheart Roland

• Fox Spirit Yumiko

Controller

• Fixed a bug where resetting your controller to the default controls would successfully reset your controls, but the displayed bindings wouldn't update. The displayed bindings will now correctly reflect the defaults before exiting the bindings screen.

Tutorial

• The tutorial preview animation 'Next' button now always visible and starts off inactive instead of just appearing once the animation has completed.

Power Rankings

• Updated Power Rankings for Summer. Increased list limit from 100 entries to 250.

Meet the Legends

• The selected tab under the "Meet the Legends" menu option has been adjusted to be more visually obvious.
