Issues fixed

Can't update from 1.11 to 1.12 (English version)

A bug introduced in the English version of the game where the game attempts to download the v1.12 update for the Japanese version of the game due to MD5 checksum hashes not matching, not only breaking full controller support, but also can break installation files after the update. This issue was finally resolved as of February 5, 2016.[4]

Certain symbols/Japanese text appear missing

The game's Japanese text and certain symbols even in the English version will not appear due to the game requiring Japanese Unicode settings to display them correctly.
See here for a potential solution.[5]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/214590/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (214590) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
