Path of Exile 2's latest update, 0.1.1c, addresses several key issues and introduces helpful improvements. The Grinding Gear Games team detailed the fixes and additions in their announcement.
Here's a summary of the changes:
Bug Fixes:
- Resolved a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after character transfers from solo league.
- Addressed multiple bugs in local co-op mode where Player 2 could inappropriately access Player 1's UI elements (e.g., high-level maps).
- Fixed a bug hindering Player 2's movement between control points in local co-op.
New Features:
- Introduced up to five revival attempts in challenging areas: Distorted Possessions, the Olroth boss fight, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. The number of attempts varies based on difficulty. In The Mists, death before defeating the Host results in revival within the boss arena, restarting the encounter.
- Implemented character renaming functionality via the official website, enhancing player convenience.
Despite some initial launch challenges, Path of Exile 2 remains a Steam chart-topper, demonstrating the game's continued popularity and the developers' commitment to ongoing improvements and player support.
