Summary
Blizzard has revealed the official patch notes forDiablo 4update 1.3.4. The upcoming release will introduce over two dozen changes to the game, most of which will arrive in the form ofDiablo 4bug fixes.
Blizzard has treated its hit action RPG to over 30 patches sinceDiablo 4entered early accessin June 2023. The 1.3.4 update will be the game’s 34th such release to date. The patch is scheduled to roll out on Tuesday, March 12.
Diablo 4 Patch 1.3.4 Will Fix a Bunch of Issues With Seneschal
In the meantime, the developer has already shared the update’s full patch notes ahead of its launch, keeping in line with its typical practices. The new changelog contains 29 items in total, the vast majority of which are bug fixes. Half a dozen of those are specifically targeted at theDiablo 4Season of the Construct, which kicked off on January 23. The robotic companion Seneschal introduced in Season 3 is going to benefit from multiple fixes, including one that allows players to use the Sacrificial Glyph while having it in their party. Namely, the latest version of the game still marks Seneschal as a minion instead of a pet, rendering this skill which requires an empty party unusable.
As previously noted by multiple players, the process ofupgrading Seneschal inDiablo 4is also not problem-free, on account of the descriptions for the next rank of its Burning Support ability being inaccurate. The 1.3.4 update will address this issue as well. Other problems pertaining to the pet that will be handled by the forthcoming patch include the Protect ability’s barrier not triggering the Conceited Aspect damage bonus and Seneschal Stone Caches being uncraftable with a max-level Duration Support stone.
Some visual fixes will also be part of the package, including one that resolves an issue causing the Meteor animation not to match the ability’s damage radius. Likewise, Rogue’s Volley arrows should no longer turn invisible following update 1.3.4. The upcoming patch is also set to introduce a bunch of improvements to theDiablo 4accessibility features, specifically its Screen Reader functionality. Among other things, the reader will no longer ignore the View button after opening the Trials interface, and will correctly vocalize the contents of various drop-down menus.
