02/05/2025. The headline says it all. I looked around and can’t find anything. Two gigs is fairly large update for a game this age. So whats up? Thanks
You know as much as we do.
From what has been shared, its possible it changed how the game uses memory enough to mess with the botting programs and such.
I didn’t really see any in-game changes per say, though some have said it made it play better, and those on Mac have ran into issues with the game even running now.
So they apparently did some back-end work, is the best guess at this point. But if that’s the case, we won’t get any details or confirmation on stuff like that. It will be called “performance fixes” or similar if we hear anything.

2 Gigs for back end work? It’s my humble opinion that at 2 gigs of programing they should at least say something as to what they did. I am not a anti Blizzard person like some but I can understand why some are so frustrated.
why though? they havent cared for years and years. they dont even make new season stuff anymore, so what incentive did they have to combat botting in D3?
i mean, if they did, i would have to reflect on my criticism a bit. possible testing for D4 bots? my only conclusion is it would have to be somehow related to D4.
My current hypothesis is that it was to fix some small error people were having after the season ending fiasco carrying stuff over, very small error, and they just have such terrible coding that the fix was 2gigs.
D3 has become Blizzard’s PTR for D4 (?).
(Just a thought).

Could have been something they have been working on for a year or more, who knows.
But a 2GB update is pretty significant for a 16ish GB game install.
And I read (I think in post on here someplace) that some botting tools no longer were working after the update.
Also someone had commented that their game was running better than it used to after the update. I personally didn’t see a difference, but that doesn’t mean anything.
I also haven’t been in D3 much at all this season yet, been spending too much time in D4.
On a side note, I’m surprised you are even talking to me. lol

OP here. I wear headphones when I play and I noticed that there may be an improvement in some of the quality in the games music and even some different sounds. The violins have near natural sound to the strings and some of the music sounded a little different here and there. It could be me but it was noticeable. Also there was a moment when I was playing and I could not transfer back to town till I was done with the battle. That has never happened to me before. Skyrim does that but not this game till now. Then I noticed on start up that the opening page that gives you game hints, stated that the, Monk, Barbarian and the Crusader have an 30 percent life advantage over the rest. Have I missed that in the 600 plus hours I have played this game or is that something new? Either I am showing my game ignorance here or there have been changes made after all.
I’m not going to watch a video from you without some context. So no thanks.

Yep, that has been around a long time.
What I keep seeing is Downloading Additional Content every time I switch between two Heroes.
What is this Additional Content?
Perhaps it is taking extra time to ensure that gear, mats, and Paragon transfer correctly.
