Latest Patch - v1.0.5.3
WARNING
 * Save game conversion is permanent and irreversible. Please be sure to backup your My Documents/My Games/Darkout folders contents before running the update. This will avoid the possibility of losing data that does not convert properly.
 * EDIT: OLD WORLDS or CHARACTERS
 * We would like to stress that the Data conversion is not full proof, and though we tried our best for everyone to keep their old worlds and characters it is becoming clear through most of the new bugs submitted that it does not always work.
