Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 3.4.2 released by Grinding Gear Games.[1]

Delve Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where some players were unable to find certain chests in their mine.
  • Voltaxic Sulphite deposits now only grant Sulphite proportional to the number of nearby players when they are first discovered. This brings it in line with how other reward systems work.
  • Fixed further cases of non-functional stairs in City Outposts that were not fixed in patch 3.4.1b.
  • You can now click your last-visited Delve (indicated by an arrow) on the Subterranean Chart to teleport to the Crawler.
  • Party members can no longer see hidden paths when in another player's Azurite Mine.
  • Party members no longer see an incorrect depth level when viewing the Subterranean Chart in another player's Azurite Mine.
  • Fossils can no longer grant Elemental Resistance prefixes. They now grant new mods for various item slots.
  • Lucent and Shuddering Fossils now have special modifiers that can be rolled on shields.
  • Poison mods are now considered Chaos mods for the purposes of Fossil crafting.
  • Bleeding mods are now considered Physical mods for the purposes of Fossil crafting.
  • Made improvements to the Necromancer Delve encounters.
  • Increased the life of Rogue Exiles in Delve Encounters.
  • Increased the damage of the totem beams in the Kurgal, the Blackblooded encounter.
  • Adjusted the hitboxes of the beam attack used by Kurgal, the Blackblooded to be more accurate.
  • Additional Projectile modifiers no longer increase the number of projectiles in the Beast Burrow encounter.
  • Sutured Aberrations can no longer be desecrated.
  • Fixed a bug where Solar Guard Spectres could prevent the Beast Burrow encounter in the Fungal Caverns from completing.
  • Fixed a bug where some Bestiary encounters would not spawn chests.
  • Fixed a bug where the "Complete Maps with Eight Mods" challenge was giving credit when using White and Yellow Maps, rather than only Red Maps.
  • Fixed a bug where players sometimes received a challenge reward more than once.

Other Improvements

  • Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Scourge Arrow": Additional Projectiles now apply to the primary arrow instead of the thorn arrows. The number of thorn arrows at lower levels has been increased to compensate. Pods are now distributed evenly among all primary projectiles.
  • Added a PvP T-value of 1 to Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Toxic Rain".
  • Level Downscaling now saves your chosen setting.
  • Using the new Zana mods now retains any Quality on the Map.
  • The Ranger can now buy Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Void Manipulation Support" as a quest vendor reward.
  • The Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Herald of Agony" skill gem now has a Chaos tag.
  • Reduced the cooldown of Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Righteous Fire" to 0.3 seconds. This should improve the use of Righteous Fire Totems.
  • Fixed a bug where Shaper's Strongholds could not spawn in Standard league.
  • Fixed a rare bug where Shaper's Strongholds could not spawn in all leagues.
  • Fixed a bug where Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Herald of Purity" would snapshot increased Buff Effect modifers.
  • Fixed a bug where Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Smite" was not able to apply Curses when supported by Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Hextouch Support".
  • Fixed a bug where Instant Skills prevented triggerable spells from being triggered when supported by Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Cast while Channelling Support".
  • Fixed a bug where monsters that trigger skills when taking damage weren't actually triggering skills.
  • Fixed a bug where Melee skills could not deal damage to a target if you were standing directly on top of the target.
  • Fixed a rare bug where Voidspawn of Abaxoth monster packs would not spawn in some Zana missions, preventing completion of the mission.
  • Fixed a bug where Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = The Coming Calamity" unique did not consider Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Herald of Agony" and Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Herald of Purity" as Heralds.
  • Fixed a bug where a Vaal Side Area in The Wetlands did not have an interactable entrance.
  • Fixed a memory leak.
  • Fixed a client crash when a Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Barrage" Trap was triggered.
  • Fixed three instance crashes.

Hotfixes

The following hotfix was deployed after the 3.4.2 patch:[2]

We have deployed a fix for Heralds not applying curses on hit.

This should be fixed for any new instances without updating your client. Restarting your client will update your client to display the correct information on skills.

  • Fixed a bug where loot allocation options did not correctly save.
  • Fixed an instance crash with the Aegis skills granted by the unique shields Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Invictus Solaris", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Vix Lunaris" and Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Magna Eclipsis".
  • Fixed a client and instance crash with Scourge Arrow and multiple projectiles.

This has been deployed without a restart.
