Version 3.11.2

Patch notes
These are the official patch notes for version 3.11.2 released by Grinding Gear Games.


 * We have massively overhauled how Path of Exile stores its internal data files. This will result in faster patching in the future, preloading improvements (especially beneficial for players without an SSD) and improved texture quality. Please note that due to the nature of these changes, this patch includes a full re-download of all Path of Exile data.
