We have deployed v1.2.2, focused on party reliability, per-player quest handling, world-generation safeguards and broad spawn coverage restoration across missing maps, bounty override targets and sub-areas.
This update builds directly on v1.2.1 by tightening multiplayer state transitions, reducing reconnect-related edge cases, improving quest isolation in MMO flows and restoring monster population coverage in areas that could previously feel empty, incomplete or unstable during exploration, bounties and live sessions.
What is new vs v1.2.1
Party State & Multiplayer Stability
- Boss encounter popups are now scoped to actual party members only
- Totem popups are now party-scoped as well
- Party auto-dissolve flow was hardened so leftover solo states clean up more reliably
- Party card teardown logic was stabilized to reduce stale or broken roster states
- Pending party invites no longer create false allied / party state before acceptance
- Reconnect handling was reinforced to reduce unanswered invite leakage into later sessions
- Inviter-side cleanup on disconnect was improved for pending party invites
- Additional battle, channel and matchmaking safety checks were added around reconnect and game-start flows
Per-Player Quest & Objective Improvements
- MMO quest progression now tracks current quest and step per player instead of relying on one shared live state
- Quest sync broadcasts were narrowed so players receive only the quest audience relevant to them
- Quest markers now filter against each player’s effective quest state
- Quest and objective flow in shared MMO sessions is now more resistant to cross-player state bleed
Portal, World & Runtime Hardening
- Portal continuity was hardened to avoid empty-world and re-entry race issues
- Shadow of Diablo portal progression was fixed in Act IV
- World generation now guards null entrance-tile / layout edge cases instead of crashing
- Town Portal lookup no longer crashes when expected portal state is missing
- Several NullReference paths were fixed in gameplay, summon, brain and worldgen flows
- Unsupported map-zoom client traffic is now safely ignored instead of creating unnecessary fault paths
Spawn Coverage Restoration
- Missing spawn layouts were restored across previously unpopulated or incompletely covered LevelAreas
- Bounty kill flows that rely on LevelArea overrides now have the required monster layouts behind them
- Bounty repopulation checks now validate missing LevelArea spawn keys safely before attempting monster refill
- This update restores broad monster coverage across campaign sub-areas, random cellars, bounty targets and endgame environments

Additional Stability Fixes Included In This Cycle:
- Necromancer summon-side null crash protections were added
- Game tick handling now guards disconnect-time null races
- World generation now handles invalid adjacent / entrance tile cases more safely
- Bounty repopulation no longer assumes every overridden LevelArea always has a valid spawn layout
- General spawn-generation coverage was audited and extended across missing areas
Why this matters for the community:
- Unaccepted invites no longer behave like accepted parties
- Quest state is more reliable per player in MMO sessions
- Bounties and exploration are less likely to land in empty or underpopulated areas
- Reconnects, portals and world transitions are more stable under live conditions
- Long-running sessions now have better protection against stale state, missing spawns and edge-case crashes
As always, please report any issue including map, activity, timestamp and reproduction steps.
