Last Epoch Patch 1.2.5 is now Live, with a post sharing Patch Notes from Eleventh Hour Games. This patch fixes numerous bugs, especially with Skills, Visuals, and UI, and adds quality-of-life improvements for Controller support, Performance, and the Bazaar. It also resolves several display issues and includes some changes to improve visual and audio feedback across the game. Check out our Key Takeaways below for the biggest highlights of Patch 1.2.5.

Key Takeaways

Bugged Skill Fixes - This patch fixes several skill-related bugs, especially visual ones. It corrects an issue where effects meant to recover a flat amount of cooldown were instead recovering a percentage. Dive Bomb received multiple fixes, including several focused on the Birds Aren’t Real passive node.
General Bug Fixes - There is a wide range of bug fixes across Visuals, UI, Monoliths, Dungeons, and Controller gameplay. Most fixes address visual or display issues. One major fix resolves a bug that could make players immortal under specific conditions in Offline mode.
Visual and Audio Improvements - There are several changes targeted at visual clarity at a glance - there is now a VFX when you have over 999 stacks of an ailment, and the Marked for Death effect now disappears properly when it ends. You can also see your Corruption level in an Echo at the bottom of the modifier list. The patch also updates sound effects for certain enemies and changes the sound when picking up Memory Amber.
UI and Input Improvements - This patch includes improvements to controller navigation and targeting. Loot filters can now distinguish between different variants of Uniques like Scales of Eterra and Pearls of the Swine. You can also now access your Stash directly from the Bazaar listing panel.
Performance Improvements - There are some fixes targeted at reducing performance hitches, including when opening the MTX store with a controller and during loot showers. It also improves performance when opening Stash panels.

The team is already aware of some issues that are visible in this Patch. We are working to fix these issues as soon as possible.

Minions and Companions don’t have portraits in the top left corner.
Some Loot filter UI issues, such as Rules showing the wrong order number, introduced after our extensive optimization pass.
- These issues are purely visual and the filter itself is working as intended.

Bug Fixes

Skills

Fixed a bug where effects which recover a flat amount of remaining time from a skill’s cooldown were recovering a percentage of the skill’s cooldown as if it had no sources of Increased Cooldown Recovery Speed.
- For example: if you triggered an effect which recovered 2 seconds from Teleport’s cooldown, it would always recover 40% of its cooldown, even if Teleport’s cooldown was reduced to 2 seconds by sources of Increased Cooldown Recovery Speed. Now, if Teleport has a 2 second cooldown, that effect will recover 100% of the cooldown.
Fixed a bug where Rive, when used with a two-handed weapon and shield due to Forgemaster’s Might, would use the two-handed visual effects, rather than the one-handed effects.
Fixed a bug causing Raptors to be summoned above the Companion Limit when the number of available skill points for Summon Raptor changed, while also having summoned other companions.
Fixed a bug where the visuals for Harvest would not scale in size alongside the increased area of Harvest.
Fixed a bug where Acid Flask Traps created from sources of extra projectiles would sometimes appear visually to be floating.
Fixed an issue with navigation that could lead to players getting stuck when using Evade with the Flames of Midnight ring equipped.

Divebomb Changes

Made a number of changes related to Dive Bomb and the Birds Aren’t Real node:

Fixed a bug with Dive Bomb where Shadow Falcons would use Featherfall, despite Featherfall explicitly stating Shadow Falcons would not use it.
Fixed a bug where the primary hit of Dive Bomb would not provide stacks of Dusk Shroud when both Flock of Crows and Birds Aren’t Real were allocated.
Fixed a bug where the Shadow Falcons from On Wings of Shadow would not provide stacks of Dusk Shroud from Flock of Crows unless Birds Aren’t Real was also allocated.
The Birds Aren’t Real node has been slightly reworked. Previously, allocating Birds Aren’t Real would cause Dive Bomb’s damage to always scale with the the Player’s stats. Now, allocating Birds Aren’t Real will cause Dive Bomb’s damage to scale with the Falcon’s stats if it is summoned, or the player’s stats if not.
Updated Birds Aren’t Real tooltip to clarify the mentioned rework.
Dive Bomb will no longer visually display the Minion tag if Birds Aren’t Real is allocated, and there is no summoned Falcon.

Controller

Fixed Quick Move prompts for Nemesis Egg Panel.
Fixed controller issues that could prevent users from interacting with the environment after killing Aberroth.

Monolith, Dungeons

Fixed chest in the Monolith rest zone not giving loot after a Quest Echo
In the Woven Echo, Tomb of Vessels, Majasa no longer dives into the sand at all, and summons the crystals through a spellcast instead.
Fixed an issue where discovering Tombs could auto-complete a location’s objectives, including unrelated quests.
Fixed a bug where Soulfire Bastion Dungeon objectives would appear twice on the minimap instead of once, as intended.

UI

Fixed an issue where loot filter numbers did not visually refresh when reordering them.
- Some causes of this issue still exist, as explained at the top of this post, we are working to fix them as soon as possible.
Fixed the alignment of the loot filter icon in the loot filter settings.
Fixed some text inputs incorrectly allowing rich text to be inputted. These locations should still accept the same text as before, but will display it as typed.
Fixed an issue where skill node respecs caused by the loss of extra skill points would not trigger the red circle UI on nodes and notifications properly in multiplayer.
Fixed a bug where opening the Weaver Tree while a social panel was open caused those interfaces to overlap.

Visual

Fixed ailment icon text wrapping when it show 999+ stacks.
Fixed a visual bug where environment decals could be applied on top of Heorot.
Fixed a visual issue with the Husk of the Living.

Other
