Diablo 4 temporarily deactivates fan-favorite feature due to crashing issues
Blizzard Entertainment has temporarily deactivated the Armory feature in Diablo 4 due to issues that arose after the release of Patch 2.1.1.
TheArmory hit D4 at Season 7’s launch, finally providing a feature allowing players to switch between their favorite builds easily.
This quality-of-life addition arrived with a few limitations in tow, one being that it only supports five loadouts per character. However, its seamless integration into the experience made up for most shortcomings.
Unfortunately,Diablo 4’s 2.1.1 updatecaused a breakdown in the Armory’s functionality, such that developers at Blizzard had no choice but to remove it from the game.
Diablo 4 devs forced to disable Armory after new update
Just hours after the 2.1.1 patch went live on Tuesday, February 4, a Diablo Community Manager announced the team had “temporarily disabled” the Armory because of crash reports from users.
The message shared on aBlizzard Forumspost reads in part, “We’ve encountered a volume of crash reports related to interactions with the Armory. We will be disabling the Armory for the time being.”
Notably, this was not the only change introduced in a post-2.1.1 hotfix. Developers have additionallyre-enabled the Twilight Warding Witchcraft Power, which they previously removed in a late January update after players kept dying in Hardcore mode.
On top of fixing the Armory, the next issue the Diablo 4 team plans to tackle is the reintegration of Decayed Augmentation, which Blizzard deactivated on January 31 due to aninfinite damage exploit.
Season 7: Season of Witchcraft launched to widespread praise from the community. However, the seasonal update has been far from a smooth ride given the many bugs that have plagued it.Glitched Unique itemsand gameplay-breaking Witch Powers count among a few of the season’s various hiccups.
