Path of Exile News

Last week we released the new Polaris Mystery Box. Designed in a futuristic style, this Mystery Box instantly became one of the most popular ones we ever released! As an appreciation for your support, we're making the soundtrack of the Polaris Mystery Box available as a free download.

To download the Polaris Mystery Box soundtrack, click (or Right-click, “Save link as”) on the file type you prefer: .flac or .mp3.

Speaking of soundtrack: we've updated the Hideout Music Player with five themes of new Conquerors and Tane's Laboratory theme. You can find them under the 'Expansions' section.

If you enjoy music, created by our composer Kamil, check out his Soundcloud here or YouTube channel.

The second week of the Metamorph League has begun. It's also the start of the holiday period at Grinding Gear Games and many of our developers are finally getting some rest and relaxation after an incredibly busy year. This week is also one of the busiest weeks for gaming in the year, so some of our developers have staggered their holidays until later so that they can be around to maintain Path of Exile while their colleagues take some time off. In this post we'd like to outline our plans for the remaining weeks of this year.

Here is a list of high-priority issues that we're working on at the moment and are keen to fix as soon as possible:

• Not enough eyes are dropping in the Metamorph encounters.
  
• On Windows 7, the game consumes too much memory.
  
• Non-boss unique monsters in maps are able to drop Metamorph organs.
  
• Sirus' storm can sometimes appear at the entrance of Oriath.
  
• Metamorph bosses can't be frozen.
  
• Various rare instance and client crashes.
  

You can find the rest of the known issues here. We're also continuing to review your feedback regarding the Sirus fight and will be making necessary improvements where possible.

Thank you for your continued feedback!

We're proud to finish this year not only with the launch of 2019's biggest expansion, but also with the release of the year's biggest set of Supporter Packs!

Inspired by the look of five new endgame Conquerors, these five new Supporter Packs contain a lot of exclusive cosmetic microtransactions as well as tons of points to spend. In addition, the higher-tier ones include physical items, such as the new Conquerors of the Atlas Cloth Map, Path of Exile Gamebook and a pack of signed Path of Exile art prints!

It's been five days since the launch of the Conquerors of the Atlas expansion and the Metamorph Challenge League! The team is continuing to go through your feedback and reports, as well as working on patches with improvements. In this news post we want to give you an update about some of the issues that we are working on fixing as soon as possible.

These are the issues which have been fixed internally and are currently being tested:

• Players with AMD GPUs sometimes crashing when encountering Tane Octavius.
  
• Crash with Pestilent Strike being used on a Metamorph.
  
• Crash when throwing dynamite in the Azurite Mine for Windows 7 users.
  
• The Watchstone Altar can cause loot to be trapped inside of it.
  
• Placing a Metamorph Sample in the Anoint Items UI causes a client crash.
  

The following issues are still being worked on and have high priority.

• Citadels sometimes can't spawn on the Atlas.
  
• Issues with migrating characters from SSF.
  
• Issues upon converting Legacy maps into new versions in the Map Stash Tab.
