Diablo 4 3.1.2 Build #73020 (All Platforms) Notes (24th July 2026)
The Diablo IV team has patched several critical spawning issues plaguing Season of Death Awakening, plus a Rogue damage fix that should smooth out endgame runs.

Blizzard is rolling out patch 3.1.2 on July 28 to address several friction points in Season of Death Awakening that have been frustrating players. The big one here is the Soul Eater spawning issue. If you froze that boss while it was alive, monsters would simply stop appearing, tanking your run. That's fixed now, along with a related problem where Deathtoll Chamber could complete before you'd actually killed the Soul Eater.
The Altar of Avarice was also spawning too many monsters, and the Whisper icon could block your teleport to Infernal Horde, both of which are addressed. For Rogues, there's a damage calculation fix for the Shadow Play Variant of Dash that was dealing incorrect amounts of harm.
On the quality-of-life side, Blizzard renamed the Mythic crafting Horadric Cube recipe from "Upgrade" to "Craft" for consistency, and fixed an issue preventing Mythic Unique items from being recycled. The full list, including every Deathtoll Chamber and Cosmic Archives Stronghold fix, is below.
