Moreover, further support for NVIDIA Reflex has been introduced. Players can visit the in-game settings menu of Diablo 4 to enable the feature. Beyond these changes and a new dungeon, version 1.2.3 of the game also implements a plethora of bug fixes to ensure a better overall experience.
Accessibility issues in Diablo 4 where the Screen Reader didn’t announce the required pacts for Vampiric Powers and malfunctioned on the Steam Deck under certain circumstances have been resolved. For dungeons, a bug that prevented the Mechanical Box from respawning if the player was killed by the boss in Bastion of Faith has been resolved.
Other problems such as the avoidance of debuff effects in the Fallen Temple, enemies from the Sole Survivor event spawning behind closed doors in Hallowed Ossuary, improper reset in Nightmare Dungeons once all revives were exhausted during local co-op, and Elemental Damage discrepancies in certain content have been fixed.
