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: Resolved a bug preventing access to the Cartwalker Machine after character transfers from solo league. Various local co-op bugs affecting Player 2's UI access (e.g., unlocking Player 1's high-level maps) have been patched. Movement issues for Player 2 between control points in local co-op have also been addressed.

• Increased Revival Attempts: The update grants up to five revival attempts in several challenging areas: Distorted Possessions, the Olroth boss fight, and the Essence of Nonexistence realm. Difficulty level determines the number of attempts. Dying before defeating the Host in The Mists now results in a 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 enhancing the game is evident through this substantial update.
