Diablo 4 hotfix adds Season Journey improvements & Lunar Awakening reward changes

The latest hotfix for Diablo 4 tackles a Season Journey progression bug and introduces reward-based adjustments for Lunar Awakening.

Diablo 4 Season 3 started on the wrong foot, though the 1.3.1 patch quickly addressed several user complaints and widespread issues. The update didn’t solve all of the season’s lingering problems, however. In fact, it seemed to open the door for a few more errors.

Shortly after 1.3.1 went live, players encountered the return of the Season Journey progression glitch that beset the first two seasons.

The Lunar Awakening event recently landed with some issues of its own in tow. Thankfully, Blizzard has deployed a hotfix that improves upon the overall experience.

Season Journey bug fixed in Diablo 4’s newest hotfix

Blizzard deployed a hotfix for 1.3.1 on February 7, which targets multiple bugs. Most notably, players will be pleased to learn that the Season Journey progression glitch has been resolved.

In addition, the hotfix also features changes to the reputation reward caches for the Lunar Awakening event, which ends on Tuesday, February 20.

The full release notes for the hotfix read as follows (via Blizzard Forums):
