Diablo 4 ‘s next major patch is scheduled for release on March 12 on all platforms. With update 1.3.4, Blizzard plans to finally tackle the Malphas meteor death bug, a glitch that has plagued players in recent weeks.
The bug in question appears to have started affecting the Season 3 endgame boss in February. Players would emerge from the boss battle victorious, only to continue taking damage from a dead Malphas’ ice meteor attack.
Diablo 4 March 12 patch note 1.3.4 promises a fix for the Malphas boss fight
In addition to fixing the Malphas boss fight issue, Diablo 4’s March 12 update will also address bugs currently affecting accessibility, dungeons, and UI.
A dungeon-specific fix will eliminate a bug blocking progression in the Sirocco Caves. Meanwhile, for UI adjustments, Blizzard has targeted season path display errors, leaderboard filtering issues, and more.
