New patch in Diablo 2 Resurrected fixes over 110 bugs: “Is the torment finally over?”
On December 2nd, Diablo 2 Resurrected received a new update for PC, Xbox and PlayStation. Patch 2.3 came with a short server down and fixed a bunch of problems and made improvements. There is one thing that makes players particularly happy: snakes, which now cause poison damage
This is the situation:
- Diablo 2 received a long-awaited update with patch 2.3
- Some of the most talked about changes are bug fixes for grave vipers and a “nerf” for the sorceress
- In general, the patch is well received – players are now waiting for the “ladder” to appear.
What’s in the patch? The official patch notes contain well over 110 bug fixes and other improvements. The update was eagerly awaited as Diablo 2 struggled with problems after its release. It was released on the evening of Thursday December 2nd.
Part of the community was of the opinion that Diablo 2 was not yet ready for upcoming content in this state. With the major update 2.3, many problems have now been resolved. One thing stands out in particular and is discussed again and again.
Patch fixes annoying snakes and nerft popular class
This is particularly popular: The grave vipers in the halls of Vaught (Nihlathak’s Temple, Act V) now do poison instead of physical damage with their clouds. This change provides some relief for many players.
The reactions range from: “Can’t wait for my servants to stop dying” to “Is the agony finally over?” Before that, there was another mistake with the vipers that caused them damage much more often than planned.
Why was that so important? The halls are a popular farm spot for magical items. The Vipers, however, took a toll on all players, as they could easily destroy characters as well as servants and mercenaries.
Because damage has been done too often, almost everything has been destroyed by the clouds. In addition, physical damage can only be reduced by up to 50%. Poison damage can be reduced up to 95%.
What is changing about the sorceress? The update also changed the effectiveness of the sorceress, one of the 7 classes of Diablo 2. A bug has been corrected here that caused stacked walls of fire to cause more damage than planned.
However, according to gamers, this bug was a way to make more builds playable. The “Nerf” makes it more difficult to kill bosses like Baal (via reddit.com). However, corresponding builds are not completely unplayable because of this.

Better performance and accessibility
This is still in the patch: The developers have fixed some bugs that have led to crashes so far. Diablo 2 should now run more smoothly on all platforms and cause fewer problems, especially in multiplayer.
The controls have also been improved. Errors, for example with filling the belt when using the controller, should no longer occur. Functions such as the / nopickup command now work correctly when using the controller on the PC.
You can now also activate another skill bar with Quick-Cast via the settings. Already at the release there was a big discussion about the hotkeys in the game. This is especially true for PC gamers. On the console you can now set a higher level of difficulty in offline mode.
In addition, Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is now supported. With the appropriate settings, you can improve your graphics and performance if your device supports the feature.

What’s next At the moment fans are still waiting for the ladder – the seasons of Diablo 2, so to speak. They should be delivered after the release, but are still missing. So far, the community was of the opinion that the game wasn’t ready yet.
With the patch 2.3 a big step towards the ladder has been taken. The near future will show whether there are still further problems to be resolved. Until then, however, a number of hardcore fans will find enough to do even without a ladder:
