Blizzard has rolled out a client Diablo 4 hotfix for patch 1.2.0b across all platforms, which addresses player privacy concerns among other things.
Some players were concerned about their privacy due to screen share unintentionally showing a player’s full name. You can imagine that some weren’t too happy with this, and this hotfix addresses this issue. “Fixed an issue where the Real ID name of players was displayed locally in the Clan menu by default”, the official release notes for this hotfix read.
Other fixes included with this patch hotfix are various bug fixes alongside stability improvements. Also included is a fix for the Season of Blood Battle Pass not awarding the correct amount of Platinum, and bonus items from the Blizzcon Collection being granted early and showing placeholder content. You can find the official patch notes for this new Diablo 4 hotfix on the official Blizzard forums here.
Diablo 4 is available globally now for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. The game’s second season, the Season of Blood, kicked off some days ago. Aside from the season 2 launch, Blizzard also released Diablo 4 on Steam. Unfortunately, the game was instantly review bombed through Valve’s platform. Do you agree with these bad reviews on Steam? Hit the comments below. Here’s what we thought about Blizzard’s latest Diablo entry in our launch review from some months ago:
“Diablo IV completely does away with that system, allowing for freeform customization of each class. Granted, you do have to start with unlocking a Basic skill, but then you’re entirely free to skip Core skills and Defensive skills if you want to focus on Brawling skills, Weapon Mastery skills, or Ultimate skills. There’s a lot of room for experimentation between active skills and passive skills, not to mention that the former skills also come in five ranks each, so you’ll have to figure out exactly how many points you want to spend on any selected ability.
Chances are you may get it wrong the first time, the second time, and possibly the third time, too. That’s the point, though: the system is wide open, which comes with the downside of potentially bad builds, but the upside of much greater freedom in tailoring your own playstyle. Diablo IV is a remarkable improvement over the previous installment in this area.”
