Path of Exile 2’s developers have released a substantial update, version 0.1.1c, addressing several key issues and introducing some welcome additions. The patch notes detail improvements across various aspects of the game.
Notable Fixes and Additions:
- Cartwalker Machine Accessibility: Resolved a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after transferring characters from solo league.
- Local Cooperative Mode Improvements: Fixed multiple bugs in local co-op where Player 2 would inappropriately access Player 1's UI elements (such as high-level maps) and experience difficulties navigating between control points.
- Increased Revival Attempts: Up to five revival attempts have been added in several challenging areas, depending on the difficulty level:
- Distorted Possessions
- Olroth, the Source of the Fall encounter
- Essence of Nonexistence realm. Dying before defeating the Host in The Mists now results in revival within the boss arena, restarting the fight.
Additional Improvements:
- Character Renaming: Players can now rename their characters conveniently through the official website.
