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.

Here's a summary of the changes:

• Bug Fixes: The update resolves a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after character transfers from solo league. It also addresses multiple bugs in local co-op mode, including issues where Player 2 could unlock Player 1's UI elements (like high-level maps) and difficulties with quick movement between control points.

• Increased Revival Attempts: Players now have up to five revival attempts in several challenging areas: Distorted Possessions, the Olroth boss fight, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. The number of attempts varies based on difficulty. In The Mists, death before defeating the Host will result in revival within the boss arena, restarting the encounter.

• Character Renaming: A convenient new feature allows players to rename their characters directly through 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 continuously improving the game is evident in this substantial update.
