Diablo 4’s 1.1.2 patch, which arrives August 15th, doesn’t sport quite as many sweeping changes as the previous update. But if you’re plowing hour after hour into the game, you should still familiarize yourself with these changes. So, to prevent any nasty surprises, here are all the Diablo 4 1.1.2 patch notes.
Here’s What Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.2 Changes
One of the biggest changes, though it’s one that may not affect you, is that Diablo 4 patch 1.1.2 fixes the Nightmare Dungeon exploit. By promoting other party members to leader, it was possible for players to repeat Nightmare Dungeons, essentially farming them. Speaking of exploits, Blizzard has also fixed a bug that let players get infinite Iron Skin elixirs.
A trio of Druid-related bugs have also been fixed but there’s no real character-specific nerfing or buffing going on. Blizzard probably doesn’t want to do another short-notice campfire chat. The patch also addresses some quest-breaking glitches, and will stop quest items randomly spawning around town.
Here’s everything that Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.2 addresses.
Gameplay Updates
- The wait time for a Malignant Monster to spawn after activating a Malignant Heart in the world has been reduced from 5 to 2 seconds.
- Players are now in the Trade Channel by default. Navigate to the in-game settings to opt-out.
