We’re back with yet another Hotfix! We’re already busy working towards Patch 1, which will bring some massive changes and improvements, but in the meantime we wanted to get another update out that mainly focuses on smoothing out the experience for players.
We are aware of remaining stutters and are investigating them. If you do encounter any performance issues (stutters, leaks, etc) please create a post on the forum including a video of the issue as well as your datastore and log as it will help us look into them better!
Performance:
Generally improved performance in multiple scenarios
Improved certain stutters when loading areas
Quality of Life Improvements:
Chest stack size increased from 99 to 999
Bug Fixes:
Fixed crash when entering Lowland Meadows during a pestilence outbreak
Fixed damage sometimes being applied repeatedly on enemies in the Crucible
Fixed Marin Woods & Lowland Meadows being unable to trigger a pestilence outbreak naturally
Fixed Marin Woods & Lowland Meadows being unable to change which faction controlled the area
Fixed getting showered with Traces and XP in the Crucible
Fixed being able to become invincible after completing the Crucible with multiple revive echoes
Fixed enemies being immune to poise damage during hit reactions
Fixed health bars being visible when they shouldn’t be and getting stuck on screen
Still no fix on Nith Grovebinders and increasing actual chest capacity. Stack size is NOT the problem.
Oh yeah, how about removing the blinding purple haze that burns your eye while playing in the only somewhat challenging environment left in the game. The pestilence fog is making it unbearable.
Is it me or the Stamine cost / Focus gain have been unified for a same weapon type? I had a few wands in my storage with different stats and they are all 9 / 10 now.
I’m now able to enter Lowland Meadows again! Thanks!
I’ve seen people saying this patch fixed stutters for them, but for me it got even worse. Stutters and low FPS now happens constantly in Sacrament and while exploring. The only place it seems to be gone is inside my house in Sacrament. I have a pretty beefy computer and stutters weren’t as bad on Hotfix 3, although present.
-increase the amount of space in the chests
-include dedicated item chests (mineral chest, wood chest, jewelry chest, etc., so there would be no need to increase the size of the chests, similar to the consumables chest)
-increase the level of the monsters to lvl 40 (even if we only stay up to 30) when we are in plague lvl 4 (or add plague lvl 5)
-add another crucible realm or +10 floors (and a second boss)
-fix the option to exalt golden items that have fixed phrases (since we cannot exalt the phrases, the item never becomes exalted)
-allow the choice of exalting the red/negative lines more or less (sometimes the build needs the reduced max focus to be too much or too little)
