Path of Exile has now deployed a new patch that addresses various bug fixes and game improvements. Most of these are minor quality-of-life things, but there are a couple of noteworthy pieces of information to digest. Let’s take a look at the Path of Exile August 25 patch notes for update 3.15.3.
The Path of Exile August 25 patch notes add an option to stop items on the ground from rendering if they are hidden by your item filter. It is a decent quality of life change, considering the sheer amount of loot in this game. It makes the item models not render, but the nameplates will still exist when pressing the alt key. In turn, this should increase game performance for high-density runs.
Additionally, a bug causing Heist Rogue to not be affected by increased Job Speed Modifiers was also implemented. It may be a nice change for players who farm a lot of Heist. Finally, an audio bug causing Sevet Tetherein to deafen a player’s audio as if they were dead has also been fixed. There are many more minor patch notes below.
