Input settings
Template:Input Settings
- Remappable keys.[6]
- Remapping menu is now added the options menu, as well as the previous location in the inventory menu, accessible with the 'O' key.
- Some keyboard keys cannot be mapped to game commands, like Delete, or num_del, Insert keys. Also, Arrow keys, END, HOME, PGUP, PGDN, etc. are displayed as "UNKNOWN KEY" then setting it again displays as NUMPAD keys. Does not seem too bad, but UNKNOWN KEY can only be bound once. Arrows are functional still after this binding as NUM keys, but you cannot bind any NUMPAD keys as it is seen as already bound. "I" is hardbound to PAUSE, so that is also not "remappable".
- If a key is already bound, you have to remap the action using that key before you can use it. This sends you on a goose chase if you need to remap the majority of the keys.
- Each time you set a key your entire page scrolls back to the very top so you need to scroll all the way back down again (using your w,s,UP,DWN keys that require constant pressing as holding does not scroll, and cannot use the mouse scrollwheel) to get back to the section you were configuring.
- The E key is hardcoded into the game and cannot be bound to certain actions (e.g. Move Horse Forward)
Issues fixed
Stuttering
- Caused by uncapped framerate.
High System Temperatures
- Caused by uncapped framerate.
Stuck After Start Game
- Caused by slowdown in internet connection as game checks for THQ account.
3D Vision effects not rendering correctly
- Using 3D Vision in the game is subpar to what it could be, with effects and shadows not rendering at the correct depth.
Using a 360 controller, only items from the first 3 rows can be sacrificed to upgrade a possessed weapon
No dialogue voices or subtitles
Region locked copies may lack voices and subtitles, when language is changed to anything other than language native for their region.[7]
Issues Unresolved
Freezing While Exiting Pause Or Inventory Screens
If you are using a NVIDIA GPU, go to the NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D-settings (I think, mine is in Norwegian so I translated directly) -> Software settings tab -> Press the "Add" button and find Darksiders II -> When configuring the settings for Darksiders II in the control panel, scroll down to the Vertical Sync settings and set it to "Adaptive".
This should fix the problem.
This fix _can_ cause stuttering, and if that happens you can use this fix:

Just download the .rar and put the d3d9.dll and antilag.cfg into the "\Steam\steamapps\common\Darksiders 2" folder where the executable is located.

Karkinos Does Not React To Eggs Thrown (Thus UNBEATABLE)
The only known "solution" is to get closer before you throw the egg at the soft part. It may be difficult but seems to be the only way to circumvent the problem.
die twice is another way

When getting the Redemption, you can't use it because it didn't load itself. ( You can hear the 'klak' voice but nothing happened!)
- A common, unresolved issue.[8]
