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 in their recent announcement.
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. Several local cooperative mode bugs have been squashed, including issues where Player 2 could unlock Player 1's UI elements (like high-level maps) and experience difficulties navigating control points.
-
Increased Revival Attempts: Players now have up to five revival attempts in challenging areas like Distorted Possessions, the Olroth encounter, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm, the number varying based on difficulty. A crucial addition is the revival system in The Mists; death before defeating the Host now restarts the boss fight in the arena.
-
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 consistently improving the game is evident in this substantial update.
