Diablo 4 patch notes – 1.1.2 update removes dungeon exploit

The latest patch notes for Diablo 4 demonstrate Blizzard’s commitment to addressing gameplay bugs and exploits in their ongoing efforts to update and improve the RPG game. With changes to Nightmare Dungeons, quest fixes, and various bug resolutions, the 1.1.2 update offers a significant but impactful update. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to dive back into the game and hunt for loot, this patch might just provide that motivation.

Some notable highlights from the Diablo 4 patch notes include reducing the spawn time for a Malignant Monster after activating a Malignant Heart, fixing a popular exploit that allowed players to repeat Nightmare Dungeons, and resolving issues such as strange white lines appearing on the in-game map.

This update also addresses specific gameplay issues related to the Druid class in Diablo 4. Boulders cast with the Aspect of Metamorphic Stone can now deal more than 100% damage, and the Agitated Winds malignant power will no longer activate when breaking destructible objects. Additionally, there are a few other changes specific to Druids, as well as bug fixes related to the UI and other aspects of the game.
