Grimlore Games has released the first hotfix for Titan Quest II’s Early Access Northern Beaches update, focusing on critical gameplay and stability fixes. The patch, titled Early Access Content Update 1 – Hotfix 1, resolves several key issues that affected combat consistency, item drops, and multiplayer synchronization. Among the most impactful changes is a fix to the random number generator, which previously caused predictable outcomes in damage calculations, affecting the reliability of critical hits.
The hotfix also restores missing Unique item drops, ensures bosses such as Pan can be properly defeated, and corrects a range of multiplayer desynchronization issues. Players should now experience improved session stability, proper quest visibility for all participants, and smoother vendor interactions. Additional tweaks include improved sound effects for new staves and environmental traps, as well as fixes to previously invisible animal models.
