New Patch is now live for Titan Quest Eternal Embers.

Below is the long list of fixes.

New features:
Curse Shrines
Curse Shrines would be an area in the gameworld, where unique shrines exist that can place a certain kind of curse on the player in exchange for other rewards.

Once a Curse is activated it will stay active until the player deactivates it via one of the cleansing shrines. The shrines are located in Helos at the very beginning of the game.

A new currency, Electrum, is gained from killing monsters with curses active. The more Curses are on the player the more Electrum is being provided. Electrum is a new currency that players can Transmute later into special Orbs that will give players special gears.

Note: Orbs containing items from any expansion that the player does not own, will still drop items from those expansions. However those items will be unusable until the player has acquired the required DLC.
Description of the Orbs mention a key , this key is not expected to drop for now;

• Fixed: Spellbreaking enemies causing players to lose shrine debuffs/buffs;
  
• Added a modified "trap resists" skill without Mana Drain Resistance. Replaced "trap resists" skill on any summoning Obelisks with this new skill. (The passive skill is just a modified copy of the "trap resists" skill. The one difference being that it no longer grants the Drain Resistance.Not a crucial change, but nice to give skills like Chi Realignment a bit more use. And these "traps" obviously use spirit magic rather than being mechanical, so the immunity is not justified.)
  
• Tweaked obelisk summon skill mana costs. Tweaked obelisk mana pools & regeneration (Now also adjusted costs of summoning to always be above the regeneration rate * cooldown, so obelisks slowly run out of mana and (more importantly) slow down when mana drained. > Collecting enough mana for one summon (if not drained again) takes about 20s on all difficulties.)

• Removed login window in the Main Menu
  
• Fixed an issue where, if the Auto-Party option was enabled on game hosting, a player would automatically return to the party right after being kicked out of the party: if this option is enabled on hosting, the host can now only ban the player from the session altogether; if the Auto-Party option is disabled, when kicked out of the party, the player remains in the game session and stays out of the party, unless invited again

We brought back the Undead resist for them.

Old Item Changes/Fixes:

• Tiresias' Guide, Cestus, Theurgist's Ward, Chthonic Legwraps now form a set
  
• Reduced Cestus armor value by 7 (to match other parts)
  
• Horns of Vorenus, Armor of the Tireless Soldier, Gauntlets of Implacable Will, Dienekes' Iron Boots now form a set
  
• Reduced Dienekes' Iron Boots armor value by 6 (to match other parts)
  
• Light of Wu: Attack damage converted to health stat from 30 to 15 and removed the chance of it happening, now it is a constant.
