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 detailed the fixes and additions implemented.

Here's a summary of the changes:

• Bug Fixes: Resolved a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after character transfers from solo league. Various local co-op bugs causing Player 2 to access Player 1's UI elements (like high-level maps) have been fixed. A co-op movement issue affecting Player 2's ability to quickly navigate control points has also been resolved.

• Added Revival Attempts: Up to five revival attempts have been added to several challenging areas: Distorted Possessions, the Olroth encounter, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. The number of attempts varies based on difficulty. In The Mists, death before defeating the Host now results in a revival within the boss arena, restarting the fight.

• 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 improving the game is evident in this substantial update.
