Titan Quest II - Early Access Content Update 2 - Hotfix 2

[p][/p][p]Heroes![/p][p]This is a hotfix update that fixes a lot of issues that were reported with the Forge Mastery update. This is our last planned update in 2025. Thanks for your support and we have[/p][p]more in the cards for 2026![/p][h2]General[/h2][p][/p]

• [p]Increased number of full-screen resolution options, beyond the native aspect ratio[/p]
• [p]Systems running the game without DirectX 12 Ultimate support will now show a more helpful error message instead of Unreal's default message[/p]
• [p]The game now detects pak files added by mods during startup. Any crashes in games with detected mods will cause the crash reporter to show a "please update or remove mods" message instead of sending the report, as we cannot provide support for third party mods[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Masteries[/h2][h3]Forge Mastery[/h3][p]We really enjoyed watching you play with the new Mastery and hearing your feedback. It became clear that Bladetrap and Sentry both shipped in a state that was not exactly where they should have been in regards to damage, when using certain Modifier combinations. We have made some minor adjustments to address this via Hotfix.[/p][p]Blade Trap[/p]
