Elon Musk approves: Path of Exile 2 has received a major update and a handy name change feature

Path of Exile 2's latest update, 0.1.1c, addresses several key issues and introduces notable improvements. The Grinding Gear Games team has detailed the fixes and additions implemented.

Key Bug Fixes and Enhancements:

  • Character Transfer Fix: Resolved a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after transferring characters from solo league.
  • Local Co-op Improvements: Addressed various bugs in local co-op where Player 2 could inappropriately access Player 1's UI elements (e.g., high-level maps) and experience hindered movement between control points.
  • Increased Revival Attempts: Up to five revival attempts have been added to challenging encounters: Distorted Possessions, the Olroth boss fight, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. In The Mists, death before defeating the Host now results in revival within the boss arena, restarting the battle.

Additional Features:

  • Character Renaming: Players can now rename their characters via the official website.

Ongoing Success and Development:

Path of Exile 2 remains a Steam chart-topper despite initial launch challenges. Grinding Gear Games continues its commitment to addressing player feedback and improving the game's overall experience.
