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 changes implemented in this significant patch.

Here's a summary of the key fixes and additions:

  • 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, preventing Player 2 from inappropriately accessing Player 1's UI elements (e.g., high-level maps) and improving movement between control points.
  • Increased Revival Attempts: Added up to five revival attempts in challenging areas: Distorted Possessions, the Olroth boss fight, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. Dying before defeating the Host in The Mists now restarts the boss battle.
  • Character Renaming: A new feature allows players to rename their characters via 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 enhancing the game is evident in this substantial update.
