We have deployed v1.3.3, a critical security and content update. This patch eliminates a major economy exploit, introduces iconic hero abilities, and expands the Kanai's Cube recipes.
Security & Anti-Exploit
- Synchronous DB Persistence: overhauled the Game Database Session to use synchronous, ordered writes. This fixes the "Fast Relog" dupe exploit by ensuring item deletions and gold updates are confirmed in the database before the session closes.
- Hardened Stack Splitting: rewritten the item splitting logic to validate source, quantity, and destination space. This prevents item inconsistencies and data loss when managing large stacks in the Stash or Inventory.
Hero Skills & Content
- Demon Hunter - Vengeance: full implementation of the Vengeance skill. Transform into an avatar of destruction with all side cannons, rockets, and stat buffs correctly applied.
- Kanai's Cube - Hope of Cain: the recipe to upgrade Rare items into Legendaries is now fully operational, including inventory space validation before transmutation.
- Horadric Caches: complete Act bounties to receive your cache directly. We've also fixed the Act bounty counter reset to ensure smooth farming sessions.
World & Rift Tuning
- Greater Rift Progress: increased the drop chance for Rift Orbs to improve the flow and speed of Rift clearing.
- Smart Monster Spawning: implemented a corridor fallback system and capped spawn density in narrow areas to prevent server lag and "wall-to-wall" monster blocks.
- Quest Persistence: campaign and public quest progress is now saved more frequently, ensuring your position is remembered even after a sudden disconnect.
Expected gameplay impact
- Stable Economy: zero-tolerance for gold/item duplication through relogging.
- Increased Power: Demon Hunters now have their ultimate survival and DPS cooldown available.
- Smoother Progression: more reliable bounty rewards and legendary crafting through the Cube.
If you notice instability, please report hero name, zone, UTC time, and whether .offline was active in Support.
