Diablo 4 Update 1.66

Blizzad Entertainment has released a very minor patch for Diablo 4 today, and it’s available for download on all platforms. Those on last gen will see this as Diablo 4 update 1.66, while current-gen (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) will see this as update version 1.064.

What’s New in Diablo 4 Update 1.66 (PS4, XB1) and 1.064 (PS5, XSX, PC) This October 21:

BUG FIXES:

  • Various stability improvements.

Yep, that’s about it. This is quite understandable, as we just got a patch last week that housed a good number of changes. Some of the big changes included updates to the UI and User Experience:

User Interface and User Experience

  • The crafting notification for Runes now displays what’s being crafted instead of the Runes used.
  • The recipes for crafting random Runes at the Jeweler now include what Runes are needed for each recipe.
  • The tooltip for swapping Runes and Gems in sockets now says “swap” instead of “socket” when in that context.
  • Tooltips for Runes and Runewords have been updated to better communicate their effects.
  • The tooltip for Masterworking now indicates that the item must be Tempered twice before it can be Masterworked.
  • Various tooltips and icons for crafting materials have been updated for improved readability.
  • Infernal Hordes and Kurast Undercity will now be at the top level of activities in the Party Finder menu, alongside activities such as the Pit and Dark Citadel.
  • The icon for Glyph Sockets has been adjusted to make it more visually distinct in Paragon Boards.
  • The Non-Physical damage stat has been removed from the Character Stats window.

Developer’s Note: The Non-Physical Damage stat consists of separately listed stats of all included elements, such as Fire Damage. This stat was also incorrectly listed as a standalone entry and has been removed. Its impact on the individual elements has not changed.

  • Combat text for damage numbers are now abbreviated.
    • e.g. 10000 damage now displays as 10k damage.
  • New Nahantu-themed loading screens will now appear in-game.

Head on over here for the complete list of patch notes which we’ve put in a table for an easier read.
