Diablo 4’s August 13 hotfix addresses the Greater Affix chest bug plaguing Season 5, while also tackling several other glitches.
Season 5 ofDiablo 4launched with more than its fair share of issues, chief among them abug affecting chestsat the end of Infernal Hordes runs.
The Greater Equipment chest that players can open after defeating waves of demons is supposed to guarantee at least one Greater Affix. Yet, users quickly discovered the chests don’t always provide the item as intended. Fortunately, Season 5 Hotfix 3 includes a fix for the error in question.
Diablo 4’s Greater Affix chest troubles hardly count as the only Affix-related hiccup to beset the Season 5 launch. Notably, Tier 4Infernal Compasseswere dropping outside of Infernal Hordes without the proper Affixes in tow.
The Infernal Compasses problem has also been solved in Season 5 Hotfix 3, along with an issue that prevented Runeshards from dropping in Nightmare Dungeon activities.
