EDIT: 0.8.2c has been released to additionally fix a bug that caused some players to have a blank login screen, which prevented them from logging into the game. This primarily affected new players that started in 0.8.2.

0.8.2b Patch Notes:

This hotfix brings fixes for a number of bugs and some additional polish to the UI and Monolith. We’re eager to hear your thoughts on 0.8.2, so keep it coming!

I’m very sorry about this! We’re working to resolve this problem.

Please keep an eye on these threads for updates and possible workarounds:

Very sorry about this! We’re actively investigating this problem.

It would be very helpful for us if you provided your log file so we can look into this.

I’d also like to keep this to one thread, so please post here: ...

Hi everyone! We’re actively working on this problem.

If everyone affected could provide their log file and say whether you’re using the Steam or Standalone version that would help us a lot.

They aren’t a guaranteed drop from the monolith reward chest anymore, but you can find them as a guaranteed reward from certain Echoes, as long as you don’t die. I’m not certain if Arena Keys can drop randomly from the reward chest or not.

Changes

• Introduced a number of new chat-focused error messages.
• Improved existing error messages used by our chat system.

 
We’re working on a substantial number of improvements targeting our in-game chat system, the experience of reporting chat messages, and the customer service experience. We have not yet determined whether some of these can be implemented prior to Patch 0.8.2.

 
NOTE: Patch 0.8.1h was only released on Steam as it fixed a bug unique to the Steam client.

There’s a known issue with Supporter Badges that affects newer users. You’ll have your badge once the system is updated on our end. Sorry about that!

Changes

• Fixed a bug where on kill effects would proc if the player brought themselves below 0 health.
• Improved the font for certain characters in chat.

Known Issues

• Chat messages sometimes appear twice. This is a server-side issue and we plan to deploy a fix very soon.

Social Features

• Social Features (including account linking, chat, cosmetic pets and the ladder) are now re-enabled.
• Greatly optimized chat performance. We will continue to monitor this.
• Fixed a bug causing a “Your account is in use on another device” notification to be displayed at incorrect times.

Known Issues

• Chat messages are sometimes displayed twice. We believe this can be resolved without another game update.

@e_stab @ex-ratt A fix for this is live on Steam now and will be on the Standalone later today. Sorry about that.

Changes

• Temporarily disabled social features.
• Fixed Gaspar’s Insight having two Void Resistance affixes instead of one Void Resistance and one Cold Resistance affix.
• Fixed a minor graphical issue in Risen Lake.

We had been aware of the bug and were looking into it for some time; it was difficult to track down because it would only happen under specific conditions. We didn’t just decide to fix the bug because streamers might encounter it-- we put out the fix as soon as we found it.

Regardless, you should be able to login to any characters that were affected and play them as normal. Sorry about the wait!

This isn’t related to the hotfix; chat latency is due to increased load from having many more concurrent users than we have had previously.

We’re looking into the problem and will likely be able to improve the situation without a client update, though it will take some time.

Uniques

We’re aware of the forge/shatter bug, but unfortunately our attempts to look into it haven’t gotten very far. We haven’t experienced it breaking every 5-10 minutes as you describe, and even when it does happen it’s difficult to debug. It’s still on our radar though.

We have a fix for chat issues not appearing properly which will be in our next patch and are monitoring for other issues with the system (we’re experiencing a peak number of players at the moment).

I haven’t heard of the filter button not working, could you please upload your log file if you experience...

Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the report.

These are all fixed internally. Thanks.

Arena

• Fixed a bug where Arena layouts were not properly selected at random. This caused the Desert Arena and Solarum Arena to be more common than the others.

Endurance

Aims

• Bring Endurance more in line with other defenses, by making it more difficult for endurance threshold to be close to or exceed your maximum health, which would overcome its balancing factor.
• Reduce how much the effectiveness of Endurance varies with maximum health.

Changes

• All characters now have endurance threshold equal to 20% of their maximum health (from 40 + 2 per character level).
• Reduced the value of endurance threshold affixes (by up to 30% at higher tiers).
• Root Shields grant 45 to 70 endurance threshold (from 70 to 100).
• Reduced the value of endurance threshold on blessings by around 33%.
• The Druid’s Hideskin node now grants 15 health, and 1% of max...

Could you provide a screenshot of the bug and your Storm Totem tree? It’s working the same as in 0.8d for me (to be fair, it does say Storm Totem and not Thunder Totem).
