Már több mint egy hónapja megjelent a Titan Quest II Wild Lands frissítése (Chapter 4) és már akkor megígértem, hogy a 0.6.0 Patch Notes jegyzéket is feldolgozom valamikor. Nos, ebből semmi sem lett. Ráadásul azóta három Hotfix javítást is kiadott a Grimlore Games, úgyhogy van mit bepótolni. Most az lesz, mint a mesébe: be is pótolom, meg nem is.
Pont a Titan Quest II Patch Notes volt az egyik oka annak, hogy az Inventoryra telepítettem egy fordító plugint, ugyanis fontosnak tartom, hogy a javítási jegyzékek kint legyenek az oldalon, de időm az hétszentség, hogy nem lesz fordítani. Úgyhogy a nemrégiben kikerült PoE-jegyzékekhez hasonlóan ezek is eredeti nyelven lesznek a cikkekben és lesz hozzájuk egy doboz, amely lefordítja magyarra az egészet. Íme:
Titan Quest II – Early Access Content Update 7 – Build 0.6.0
With this Major Update, we deliver our biggest Chapter to date, called Wild Lands. In addition, as usual there are many other fixes and changes in this update.

- Added a new version of the „Boar Hide” Charm that goes onto Armors with an appropriate effect.
- Charms and Relics will now drop in addition to the number of random items dropped by each enemy, not potentially taking „slots” from other drops as in the past.
- Relics can now drop from lower tier enemies with a lower chance.
- Bosses will now have a much higher chance for Epic items when defeated for the first time. They also have an increased epic drop chance for repeated kills.
- Attempting to sell an item with a socketed charm or relic will now automatically unsocket the charm/relic and only sell the base item.

UI and Other
- Improved auto-sort behavior for rings so they position better in the inventory and don’t block larger spaces.
- Fixed a race condition between game and physics system that could lead some environment objects not to fade out properly when the player stands behind them (e.g. dungeon walls).
- Navigation areas only used by enemies (e.g. water pools in the Skylla arena) are now excluded from the map UI.
- Loot Filter: Added basic functionality for filtering loot on the ground. Currently it only supports filtering by rarity but this feature will be expanded in the future. You can customize your Loot Filter per character in the new in-game options menu „Character” tab.
- Reworked Enemy Telegraphs: Enemy telegraphs now display in a new visual style. They also have an indicator for timing that makes it easier to discern when exactly an ability will hit.

- Changed the color of Vitality Drain effects in the game.

Bugfixes
Masteries
A quick word on Mastery Balance: This update does not contain a huge amount of Mastery balancing changes. This doesn’t mean we think mastery balance is perfect, though, and don’t think changes are needed anywhere. On the contrary! We are currently hard at work on the Spirit Mastery and plan to do larger balancing adjustments where we take an in-depth look at balance and Masteries after wrapping that up.
Storm
- Ice Shards – Frost Explosion: Fixed a crash occurring when using the modifier.
Items
- Charms and relics in your secondary weapon set are now counted properly as currently equipped.
- Health Potion: Fixed that increases to Charge Recovery were factored in twice.
- Hollow Fang: Fixed completion bonus not being properly granted.
Creatures and Bosses
- The Feral Hippokampos can no longer be damaged while it is spawning.
- Bandit Bodyguard: Fixed Taunt ability’s immunity sometimes not being removed from allies.
- Fixed some status effects (e.g. Frozen) not being visible on characters.
- Fixed missing name prefix from some Skeleton Fighter spawns in Northern Beaches.
- Creature: Fixed Centaur Charge abilities dealing damage more times than they should.
Quests and Content

Other
- Uncancellable dialogues will no longer be canceled if started while the player is stunned.
- Fixed an issue that prevented sounds from destructible objects (and some others) from playing.
Performance
Performance is always an ongoing topic for us, since every new feature and content piece potentially adds new CPU/GPU/memory cost. Here are some of the areas we touched this update to improve overall performance and hitches:
- Significantly improved CPU cost of damage application and death events that led to hitches. However, this work is far from done.
- Improved GPU cost of many fog, water and lighting effects.
- Improved CPU cost of character status effect visualization (burning, poisoned, chilled).
- Improved CPU cost of inactive characters.
- Improved CPU cost of input and targeting systems that were doing duplicate scene queries and UI updates.
- Improved CPU cost of the inventory preview scene.
- Improved CPU and GPU cost of various spell VFX.
- Improved CPU and total memory cost of item and sound databases loaded during startup.
Titan Quest II – Early Access Content Update 7 – Hotfix 1
Heroes! With this Hotfix we adress some of the issues we noticed after launching the last major update and include some additional adjustments.
New Features and Adjustments

(Please note that for now this only works with Windowed Fullscreen mode, the regular Fullscreen mode may still cause issues if the secondary monitor’s DPI scale does not match that of the primary monitor.)

Titan Quest II – Early Access Content Update 7 Hotfix 3
Heroes, this patch revises Ukrainian translations and adds a new telemetry feature for performance tracking.
We are aware that some of you struggle with performance issues. While we are already working on improving the situation, we have decided to add more detailed tracking for this to the game. It should help us get more meaningful information about performance problems. To more accurately find out which areas, hardware, and builds might cause the biggest issues. This way we can make our next performance changes have a positive impact for as many players as possible in a more targeted way. Should you have opted out of our Analytics Tracking but want to (maybe temporarily) re-enable it due to this change, you can do so in the „Gameplay” section of the options menu.
Languages
- Revised Ukrainian translations
Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug causing incorrect animations to be selected.
