Yesterday was patch day for The Division, meaning fans got to hurry to the game flush with excitement, eager to download the patch and start playing. It must have been a real kick in the teeth if you did that and then found that the patch made your character go missing. Yes, some players are apparently missing their characters altogether, with Ubisoft promising to investigate matters. The company did state that it would not be resolved with the patch hotfix, however.
“What hotfix?” you ask? Well, that one’s a funny story too; it seems that patch 1.1 also inadvertently gave named bosses in challenge modes at least two high-end drops with every kill. That was too good to be true, and it turns out it was a bug as well, with a hotfix patch restoring the drop rates to normal. This is probably not terribly reassuring to players whose characters are in absentia and can get no drops.
