3.28.0i Patch Notes

Why is the STEAM update out and those of us with stand-alone clients cannot update?
Casual Player - who likes microtransactions and hideouts.
> Server maintenance and account system updates.

Need more than that for a 2GB+ client update.

Since the update, I can run around and let my minions kill what they can but if I engage with Holy Strike I get the Buffer underflow icon, frozen frame and immediate game shut down. I have reinstalled, I have tried all of the fixes that I can find, and I am presumably dead in the water... I hope this is being addressed? This isn't a hardware issue.
Since the patch I am getting a buffer underflow when attempting to use holy strike, which means no starting a new templar. I have started a couple new characters to test and all made it past Hillock, only the templar had an issue.

Same, came here to report the same bug, it says buffer underflow and crashes the game.

You're not wrong, I wonder how account system changes broke Holy Strike though. Or are the patch notes incorrect.
Im getting a buffer underflow error the moment i start attacking enemies while in a map ( crashing the game every time ) since this patch. Any fix or help for this would be very welcome. Havent been albe to play the game since the patch. I already ran the packcheck and cleared the chache wich did not fix the problem.
I reinstalled the game and the buffer underflow problem is still not fixed.

Update: removing all MTX from my character fixed the buffer underflow problem. When equiping the MTX again after its still fine.

additional update: When equiping my mtx again i forgot to equip the flickerstrike mtx again. After equiping the afterimage flicker strike mtx i get the buffer underflow crash again. The ghost and demonic flicker strike mtx do not cause the problem so seems to be related to the afterimage flicker strike effect specifically.

removing MTX fixed it. THANK YOU. GGG doesn't want my money :(
It's been a whole day and I still can't log into the Steam version of POE. It keeps saying there's a new update and asking me to update to the latest version.
