As we close out 2021, we wanted to give you an idea of what to expect at the beginning of 2022 with Path of Exile's next big expansion. We're currently expecting to launch the 3.17 expansion in early February. This means that the Scourge League will be extended by at least two weeks. As per usual, our livestream announcement will take place about one week prior to the expansion's launch. We'll make sure there are some juicy Twitch Drops for viewers, of course.

We will confirm the exact dates as soon as we can but we do know that there's at least a two-week delay from our usual schedule so far. We want to give our staff the freedom and flexibility to take time off over the New Zealand summer holidays and recharge for the year ahead. Once our team resumes, we'll start to nail down the exact dates and will let you know.

Some players have been asking when we expect to start early testing for the experimental mode temporarily known as "Hard Mode". We had mentioned in the past that we were going to start some testing before 3.17 launches, but as we have been prioritising 3.17's development, it's now slated for sometime after 3.17's launch.

If you're looking for something to play alongside Scourge in the meantime, the Atlas Invasion event is still running for a few more days. We also have the Delirium Everywhere Event starting this weekend! Twitch Drops will be enabled for the first day and there are many awesome prizes up for grabs. For more information about these events, check out the full event post here. Of course, there's also plenty of time left in the Scourge League to jump in and earn your challenge rewards!

If you want to look fancy over the holiday period, please check out our new Core Supporter Packs we released recently by pressing "M" in game!

Thanks so much for your support. We look forward to sharing what's next for Path of Exile early next year!

Our game doesn't load slowly! Your game loads slowly! We don't even have the time to make our game load slowly. Besides that, you can't prove it and the sheep are lying!

• Fixed crash on Windows 11 on 12th gen Core
  
• Improved level load times by 6 times and added a loading progress bar
  
• Reduced memory requirement on low-end systems
  
• Bug fix for Kitchen level unlock

This update implements the following changes:

• Added indicator that shows which model is currently loaded in the model selection bar (useful if you have multiple versions of the same model and you're too lazy to change the name).
  
• "Reload Microphone" hotkeys now have an option to toggle the microphone on/off instead with the hotkey.
  
• There are now button on model config UI items and hotkey config UI items to minimize/maximize them.
  
• You can now press the ALT key while scrolling to rotate/scale items or the model slower.

The following improvements and bugfixes were also made:

• FPS value is now saved correctly for animated items in item scenes.
  
• Item scenes with an empty item group now aren't deactivated if another item scene with an empty item group is activated.
  
• Items can now be re-added to an item scene after they have been removed once from it.
  
• Minimum size limit for items has been decreased so you can make items smaller.
  
• Item and model scaling is now more "linear", meaning it doesn't get "faster" the smaller the item/model becomes.
  
• Hand pose "Hand Tracked" now works for left hand too (was only working for right hand before).
