PoE2 Name Change: Major Update Approved by Musk

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

Key improvements include:

  • Character Transfer Fix: Resolved a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after transferring characters from solo league.
  • Local Co-op Enhancements: Addressed multiple bugs in local co-op, preventing Player 2 from accessing Player 1's UI elements (like high-level maps) and improving 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. Dying before defeating the Host in The Mists now restarts the boss battle.
  • Character Renaming: Players can now rename their characters via the official website.

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