A new fix for Diablo 4 was released this week as Blizzard Entertainment prepares for the release of the first Season of the Malignant in July. The patch notes have been released and provide information on a number of adjustments, including ensuring damage boosts function as intended and, in many cases, eliminating issues that prevented progress. However, a problem that was brought on by Diablo 4 Update 1.0.4 may possibly result in another hotfix being released later today. Nevertheless, the original patch notes are available here.
On July 6, 2023, Diablo 4 Update 1.0.4 and its associated patch notes were released by Blizzard Entertainment. This one came with a lengthy list of fixes for bugs and other problems that should improve the game's enjoyment. The traversal during The Blind Eye has also been corrected to prevent obstructing progress, and the Necromancer's Shadow Mages should now receive additional shadow damage from the Shadowblight Key Passive. A glitch where Cheat Death would not save you while you were on a mount has also been fixed.
It's also important to remember that Blizzard had to take immediate action to stop Uber Uniques from showing up in the game because they were doing so regularly in Helltide Chests.
The developers made a comment about it and said that a patch would be delivered today. The remaining patch notes for Diablo 4 Update 1.0.4 are as follows:
