Path of Exile addresses major disconnection bug, plots new content

Not content to rest on its laurels after this month’s The Awakening expansion, Grinding Gear Games has penned a quick post revealing precisely what it’s working on now for Path of Exile.

Chiefly, the studio has hammered out a fix for the disconnection bug that was booting players off the server at peak times. “The changes late last week helped,” Lead Developer Chris Wilson writes, “but now no one is getting disconnected at all due to database load.” An incoming patch will address loading spikes as well as difficulty, drop rate, and balance adjustments, and the studio is working on still more fixes for still more types of disconnections.

GGG has new content planned already as well. “We are also working on a 2.0.1 content update that introduces more content for both Warbands and Tempest, among many other changes. We’re aiming this at late next week.”
