Diablo II Resurrected Patch Notes 1.18 / 2.4.3
QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
playing style
- Players can now start a new Whirlwind, Leap, or Leap Attack immediately after a Whirlwind ends.
- Changed the logic used to determine how often Whirlwind attacks occur. Whirlwind now includes increased Attack Speed (IAS) from all gadgets. The frames between each whirlwind attack are equal to the attack frame of a normal attack for that character (modified by increased attack speed). When double swinging, the attack frame for each weapon is averaged (rounded up). Overall, Whirlwind attacks should be at least as fast as before. Slower weapons attack significantly faster.
- A new controller skill “Loot to Cube” has been added to the General Skills menu. Using this skill on an item will pick it up and place it in your Horadric Cube, if there is space.
- Added a bindable mouse and keyboard hotkey to directly open the Horadric Cube when it’s in your inventory.
- Added a new shortcut key to open the Horadric Cube from the inventory menu.
- Players can now bulk assign stat points with one controller.
- A confirmation prompt is now displayed when all remaining stat points are bulk assigned on both PC and console. This option is not available when using legacy graphics.
- Added an auto-open automap preference to allow players to set their preferred automap location.
On-line
- You can now double-click a game to join it in the PC lobby.
- Players on Switch can now join a friend’s game from the in-game friends list.
- The size of the game list has been doubled from 20 to 40.
- Playlist details in both the details pane and the playlist now load faster when a game is selected.
- Friends playing D2R are now sorted to the top of the friends list.
- Console players now have an option in the options menu to toggle game name visibility.
TROUBLESHOOTING
playing style
- Fixed an issue where Deckard Cain was unable to identify items in the Horadric Cube. Now he will do this if the cube is in your main inventory.
- Fixed an issue where short-range hurricanes could end without performing a single attack.
- Fixed an issue where Whirlwind would still apply traits and damage from a broken weapon.

- Fixed an issue where leaderboards with six or more digits started overlapping the character name.
character selection
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused recently played characters not to be sorted to the top of the list.
- Fixed an issue where an off-hand front-end flail could not be animated.
language
