Diablo 4 Patch 2.1.4 Update Notes - Mainly Technical Upgrades
Recently, the developers announced the content of next patch 2.1.4 for Diablo 4. This update has minor changes, but there may be new changes that PC players need to adapt to.
First of all, in terms of technical changes, the developer introduced support for Intel Xe Low Latency Technology (XeLL) and Xe Super Sampling Upgrade Technology (XeSS), which means that the game is more responsive and the player’s gaming experience will be better.
In addition, this update also adjusts some graphics settings. After installing the patch, the game enables resolution scaling by default, and the selected scaling method will depend on the player’s hardware. So you may need to adapt to the situation where the picture suddenly becomes blurry.
In addition to all the technical upgrades, the patch also fixes some bugs, making various performance, stability and visual improvements to the game.
Next, let’s take a closer look at the content of this update.
Support For Intel XeLL And XeSS Frame Generation
The biggest new feature added in patch 2.1.4 is support for Intel XeLL and XeSS frame generation. Diablo 4 already supports the graphics upgrade features of these two technologies, but soon it will also support frame generation. The technology is designed to minimize input lag and improve game responsiveness, making players more comfortable in the game. PC players with supported hardware will be able to find XeLL and XeSS settings in the graphics menu of the updated version of the game.
The improved game responsiveness also allows players to earn Diablo 4 Gold faster and more efficiently. You can participate in activities or complete battles faster without worrying about long loading times.
Resolution Scaling Be Enabled By Default
After installing the patch, the game will enable resolution scaling by default.
In other words, the game will not run at the native resolution by default. The default resolution scaling setting will depend on your hardware configuration. The developers hope to improve the baseline performance of Diablo 4 with this update. However, players can still manually adjust these settings and choose the resolution they are comfortable with.
Bug Fixes
In addition to all the technology upgrades, this patch also fixes a few bugs.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Scour event from completing.
- Fixed a bug that caused Herb node mini-map icon to disappear on the map during the same event.
- Fixed a bug that allowed Cocoon to destroy Druid Boulder projectiles.
- Fixed an issue that interfered with the sounds released by Treasure Goblins in Treasure Hunts.
- Fixed a bug that allowed Inquisitors to teleport to towns.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented renaming equipment when Mature Language filtering was disabled.
2.1.4 is a smaller patch that does not have a big impact on the gameplay itself. It mainly upgrades technology and fixes some bugs, while making various performance, stability, and visual improvements. Looking forward to this update to bring better game enjoyment!
