Path of Exile 2's latest update, 0.1.1c, addresses several key issues and introduces notable improvements. The Grinding Gear Games team detailed the fixes and additions implemented in this significant patch.
Here's a summary of the changes:
-
Bug Fixes: The update resolves a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after character transfers from solo league. Various local cooperative mode bugs causing Player 2 to access Player 1's UI elements (like high-level maps) have been squashed. Another fix addresses Player 2's movement restrictions between control points in local co-op.
-
Increased Revival Attempts: Players now receive up to five revival attempts in challenging areas, including Distorted Possessions, the Olroth boss fight, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. The difficulty level determines the number of attempts. In The Mists, death before defeating the Host will result in a revival within the boss arena, restarting the encounter.
-
Character Renaming: A convenient new feature allows players to rename their characters directly through the official website.
Despite some initial launch challenges, Path of Exile 2 remains a Steam chart-topper. Grinding Gear Games' commitment to addressing player concerns and continuously improving the game is evident in this substantial update.
