Nach dem Stapellauf von Torchlight 2 (ab 29,99€ bei kaufen) ist Runic eifrig auf Fehlerjagd. Wie Travis Baldree im hauseigenen Forum verlauten lässt, hat das Studio mittlerweile den zweiten Patch für das Action-RPG veröffentlicht.

Version 1.12 fixt diverse allgemeine Bugs, bereinigt einige falsche Berechnungen bei Skills, Buffs & Co. und soll auch einige mit dem Mehrspieler-Part verbundene Fehler aus der Welt schaffen. Runic hat außerdem ein paar UI-Exploits ausgemerzt und den Netzwerk-Code etwas optimiert.

Die Entwickler arbeiten derzeit bereits am nächsten Patch, dem versprochenen Mod-Kit, der Mac-Version von Torchlight 2 sowie ein paar "geheimen spaßigen Sachen" für das Spiel.

Patch 1.12.X.7 Notes
