PS4/Xbox - Necromancer Hotfix

Heroes,

We just pushed out a hotfix patch for Xbox, (releasing on PS4 shortly) including a fix for the progression issue! Here are the patchnotes:

Tweaks

  • The Icon of Death no longer shows a outline on sacrifice target skeletons unless hovering them. Sacrificing skeletons without hovering them picks the oldest skeleton.

Fixes

  • Fixed console progression being reset.
  • Fixed the overcharge VFX not showing up on Necromancer for other clients.
  • Fixed crash when skeletons attacked a Gutter Runner while all heroes were invisible.
  • Fixed bug where “Mistress of the Stave” challenge worked on non-elite enemies.
  • Corrected weapon diagram info and weapon tags for the Soulstealer Staff and the Ensorcelled Reaper.
  • Fixed crash when a client Necromancer sends a command to her skeletons and they die (or target enemies that die) before the request reaches the host.
  • The Soulstealer Staff’s Soul Rip attack now scales with attack speed.
  • Fixed crash if Skeletons die at the exact same moment as when you sacrifice them.
  • Fixed rare crash that happens when the target enemy gets dies at the exact same moment as a Necromancer commands attack on it.
  • Fixed crash for Sister of the Thorn when reaching full overcharge and letting it decay to the first threshold mark.
  • Fixed crash when dying as necromancer while wielding a potion.
  • Fixed crash caused by Necromancer bot being replaced with a player or a Necromancer player leaving while being chased by a soul from the ‘Soul Harvest’ talent.
  • Fixed rare crash from skeletons being in mid swing attacking a Gutter Runner while it dies near the Necromancer.
  • Fixed crash from long sessions where we added more than 511 synced buffs to a player in the same session.
  • Fixed issue with Soulstealer Staff not proccing certain ranged weapon traits.
  • Fixed bug where Coruscation staff needs twice as many stacks of the ‘Soul Harvest’ talent to function than it should.
  • Fixed Skarrik not jumping down after his initial speech in ‘Into the Nest’
  • Added the missing ‘base’ weapon illusions for Ensorcelled Reaper and Soulstealer Staff
  • Fixed several issues with FoV when using the Soulstealer Staff’s Soul Rip attack.
  • Fixed Necromancer fire effects being colored orange for clients if hot joining and replacing a non-Necromancer Sienna bot.
  • Fixed missing sounds for the Ensorcelled Reaper when using certain weapon illusions.
  • Added a few more failsafes for Twitch Mode not working.
  • Fixed occasional host crash from skeleton targets dying.
  • Fixed perk names in the old talent menu being the career name instead of the respective perk names.
  • Fixed crash when joining a match with a Necromancer using the ‘Lost Souls’ talent.
  • Fixed crashes related to French localization.
  • Fixed crash when a Necromancer bot uses the Soulstealer Staff’s Soul Rip attack.

Is this hotfix going to be coming to PC as well? Mainly the crash fixes. Its quite hard to play a full mission with a necromancer on the team without someone crashing.

I have received the update and all my progress is now back so thank you, but is it safe for me to buy necromancer (I am on Xbox x)

when will the hotfix come out in ps4?

I believe we have a hotfix coming out in the near future. Getting the console fixes out is the priority at the moment due to the progression issues they’re having.

It should be yes!

Hopefully later today if all goes well! We’re just waiting on the green light in certification!
