Officially acknowledged

Crucible Season 1 end date shown incorrectly

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Patch 7.57’s Known Issues section says the Season 1 Crucible Rankings end date is incorrectly listed as Early December. Its season description instead says late November 2026 and notes that start and end times may change. Do not treat the erroneous displayed date as the schedule. [1]

Resolved

Beastmaster subcommands became unusable after speaking to Lauda

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Patch 7.57 addresses beastmaster subcommands becoming unusable after speaking to Lauda before accessing the Master’s Bestiary. The order of those two interactions is the trigger described by the notes. [1]

Resolved

Timed knockback froze a Crucible enemy and stopped battle

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The same resolved-issues list covers a specifically timed knockback on a great wisp piece summoned by an ogre piece. The enemy could freeze and prevent the battle continuing. The patch records that particular Crucible encounter defect as addressed. [1]

Officially acknowledged

Character-settings backup omits several local data types

Platforms: PC, PlayStation, XboxEvidence checked

The UI guide excludes screenshots, appearance data, item-sort settings and inventory location data from Character Settings Backup. Shared macros also need Client Settings backup. A downloaded character-settings backup therefore does not restore those excluded items. [2]
