Diablo 3 Patch 2.2.1 patch notes

By Anne Stickney

A new Diablo 3 patch has been released today, and although there aren’t a ton of changes listed, there are quite a few bug fixes that have been addressed. Patch 2.2.1 includes plenty of item fixes, including a correction to an issue that was preventing players from receiving BlizzCon 2014 cosmetic items, an issue preventing belts from being able to roll bonus Armor as an affix, and an issue incorrectly allowing players to equip and use unidentified Legendary Potions. In addition, some UI issues were fixed — Seasonal tabs will no longer incorrectly show up on Achievement and Leaderboard screens when there’s no season actually active, and the Greater Rift Completion screen should now be able to be closed with the Close All Windows hotkey. The full patch notes are below.
