The achievements may not force you to play the highest difficulty, but when you get a game for a precise purpose, and that purpose turns out to be bad! It's a little disappointing. And KOEI's customer service? They wouldn't even humor my idea of PNG. #CustomerSupport #KoeiTecmo #SamuraiWarriors4DX

■Your original message

I am using the “Register Image” feature in Samurai Warriors 4 DX on Steam. The feature works correctly with JPG and BMP files, but it does not accept PNG files. This creates a usability problem because most modern artwork, icons, and character portraits are distributed in PNG format, especially when transparency is needed.

I have a large number of PNG images that I would like to use for crests, kanji symbols, and portraits. Converting each PNG manually to JPG/BMP is time‑consuming and significantly reduces the usability of the feature. PNG is the standard format for high‑quality images and transparent backgrounds, and the current limitation makes it difficult to use the image registration system as intended.

I would like to ask whether PNG support can be added to the PC version of Samurai Warriors 4 DX, or if there are technical reasons preventing PNG import. Even partial PNG support (non‑transparent PNGs) would greatly improve the feature’s usability.

Thank you for reviewing this technical limitation. I appreciate any information you can provide.

Samurai Warriors 4 DX can only do JPG and BMP image formats not the most commonly used PNG. Remove the images background, turns a JPG to a PNG, I sent a request to KOEI TECMO CUSTOMER SUPPORT and of course it was denied. Bad multiplayer and bad image formatting. #Game #SamuraiWarriors4DX #KoeiTecmo
