- Last Epoch Patch 1.4.6 Notes - 29 April 2026
Quality of LifeOptimized the logic responsible for updating loot labels on the screen, improving the overall frame times when many items are on the ground.Bug FixesFixed an issue with key based interaction that allowed players to interact with objects while dead.Skills and PassivesAcolyteProfane Veil: Fixed an issue where casting Profane Veil while having the Singleminded node allocated would sometimes cause the player to teleport back to their starting location after the ability is ended.MageShatter Strike: Fixed an issue where indirect casts with the Clash of Lightning node allocated would play the wrong sound.PrimalistSummon Storm Crow: Fixed an issue where when converted to fire crows were still showing a lightning area on cast instead of the intended fire one.RogueHail of Arrows: Fixed an issue where the player character didn't animate correctly when channeling Hail of Arrows.Shado…
- Last Epoch Patch 1.4.5 Notes - 22 April 2026
Quality of LifeCrafting: Added more specific messaging about why an item is incompatible with the Rune of Shattering when an attempt to use one fails.Settings: Renamed the "Loot Filter Toggle" keybind option to "Disable Loot Filter (Hold)".Bug FixesFixed an issue where player cosmetic visual effects could disappear in towns.Fixed an issue where, at high attack speeds, Primalist attack animations would appear to repeat the same swing over and over instead of swapping between multiple types.Fixed an issue where the visual effects on the Idol Crafting station were still present after all charges are expended.Skills and PassivesMinionsThe minion attack command should now more reliably choose high priority targets closest to your cursor, such as enemies with the "Protective" modifier which causes that enemy's other nearby allies to take less damage.Enemies with the "Protective" modifier are…
- Last Epoch Patch 1.4.4 Notes - 16 April 2026
Omen WindowsAdjusted the size of the Omen Windows in the Omen's Veil Woven Echo to provide slightly more space where all three windows overlap.Class and Skill UpdatesSentinelShield Throw: The Sentinel affix which converts Shield Throw to void now behaves more in line with expectations for a conversion. It causes bleed chance to be converted to time rot, physical resistance shred to be converted to void resistance shred, it converts Lava Burst to void, and it causes effects within the tree related to fire or ignite to instead affect void or time rot.RogueBladestorm: The Shadowstorm node can now also be triggered by the thrown daggers from Shadow Cascade's Dagger Dance node.Bladestorm: Added visual effects to indicate when the Shadowstorm effect is triggered.Quality of LifeThe chat window is now interactable while your character is dead.Stat conversion effects will now be reflected in you…
- Last Epoch Patch 1.4.3 Notes - 8 April 2026
Class and Skill UpdatesGeneral Skill ChangesAbility Usage: Channeled abilities now only end when you have insufficient mana for an uninterrupted duration of 0.2 seconds. This resolves a case where Warpath could end due to insufficient mana despite Void Well restoring your mana.The player is now restricted from using any ability while portaling within the Monolith of Fate. This prevents an issue where using abilities with a movement component at the same time as transitions in monolith could result in the player ending up in the wrong spot.RogueLethal Mirage: Mirages now prioritize targeting enemies that are not invulnerable.AcolyteBone Curse's aura mode from the Signet of Agony node on its skill tree now requires a button press to toggle instead of toggling on and off as you hold down the button.Quality of LifeGeneral UIIf an item changes it's properties while the inventory is opened, i…
- Last Epoch Hotfix 1.4.2.2 Notes - 2 April 2026
Bug FixesFixed an issue that could result in audio becoming degraded over long play sessions under certain circumstances. This would sometimes lead to degraded overall client performance as well.Fixed a potential cause of Monolith Echo Complete portals not functioning in certain circumstances in offline.Fixed an instance of an issue that would cause characters get stuck while using Dancing Strikes in online. This may still happen due to a separate bug we are investigating, but should be less common.New FeaturesInput: Added a dedicated setting for WASD to define whether Evade is directed by character movement or cursor. By default, it is set to character movement.Note: We are aware that Shadow Rend targeting has been difficult for many players using the WASD control scheme. The above new setting allows players to treat Evade separately from typical ability targeting so that other movemen…
