PoE 3.11.2 Patch Notes

(1) PoE 3.11.2 Patch Notes

  • It changes the way that Path of Exile stores its data
  • It requires a complete redownload of the game

Note that you won’t need to uninstall and reinstall Path of Exile. Patching to 3.11.2 will automatically re-download the necessary data.

Why Now? While there may be small issues, GGG hopes this doesn’t occur on Heist’s launch day. Therefore, GGG will be releasing this 3.11.2 patch beforehand so that they have time to fix any minor issues that crop up.
