• Fixed a common crash in heavy endgame areas
• Fixed a common crash that could occur when interacting with items
• Fixed a bug that prevented Dancing Dervishes AI from getting to some targets
• Updated Neversink Lootfilers to version 8.5.2

Improvements

• The Corrosive Hunger debuff in The Infinite Hunger boss fight now provides -1% Physical Damage Reduction and -1% Chance to Evade per stack (previously -400 to Armour and Evasion Rating per stack).
• Corrosive Hunger stacks are now lost when The Infinite Hunger drowns you and teleports you away.
• Oil that has been set alight is now treated as Burning Ground, and applies a Burning Ground debuff, rather than Burning Oil.
• The Incendiary Archnemesis modifier now gives the monster less duration of Ignites on self, rather than reduced duration on Ignites of self.

• The Vaal Omnitect and Atziri, Queen of the Vaal are now also untargetable whilst they are invulnerable, preventing Minions from prioritising them over other monsters.
• Further improved level generation of Blighted Maps so that they fail to open less often.
• Added a short cooldown to the triggered spells of Morgrants, the Deafening to prevent enormous numbers of Skill triggers against Player Minions.
• Aura Skills that have had their Reservation changed to a cost through Divine Blessing Support can now be supported by Arcane Surge.
• Trial of Ascendancy Portals now detail what kind of Offering they contain when you encounter them in Maps.
• Updated the description on Divine Blessing Support to state that it cannot support Stance Skills.
• The Invisible Buff Effect Microtransaction can now be applied to Plague Bearer, allowing you to hide its visual effects.
