No idea. BUT, if you download patch and try again and it has not been fixed yet, throw it back into the link they have given.

1. Epic login overlay APPEARS now when im launching it in the usual version (without epic crossplay), whereas before the public beta - when versions separation was added - it didn't appear and it was really great...
2. Check your sets bonuses, please. Guan Yu's Full Set gives player -30% Physical Damage AND -20% Elemental Damage... What's wrong with you!?
3. Divine Artifact "Essense of Anubis' Haste" completion bonus gives player -4% to movement speed AND it's steals affixes from "Set's Envy" whereas it should have unique affixes. + to that ALL the completion bonuses on these new lvl 55 artifacts are severly underperforming and outclassed by literally every other artefact in the game. I made a thread about this issue yesterday.
4. I just wanna play old good titan quest, why did you make it look like diablo. It's not a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ diablo! remove these garbage vases littered all over the levels OR do a proper *FAST* animation of shattering them LIKE IN THE DIABLO. I don't want to wait for a stupid vase to drop hundred gold. And for god's sake fix these Monster Infrequents' (Northerner's Axe, Red Coast Helmet, Ceremonial Axe, Atenite Spear, Desert Dweller's Club, etc.) drops already! The problem is NOT their setup or affixes... They just shouldn't drop from every enemy every second.

But big props to the devs for fixing the Item tables though.
Wow, legendaries are really dropping now!
MANY THANKS!!!

Edit: These madlads also fixed the Aionios drop chance!
Just got this shield for the first time in a lifetime from the sarcophagus in the Burial Vaults!!! WOW! It's just insane..
Edit 2: Nevermind, that trash youtuber mr. fæ got this shield from this very sarcophagus. It's rigged & there's nothing satisfactory in such a drop. Now my mood is ruined.

What about Bao?

2.i thought guan yu is taoist god of war and in relic guan yu described himself as only fights when there is no other options maybe this is why -damage but i agreed with u 3 of 5 new dlc sets bonus really useless/ weird compared to orginal game
3.anubis and sets completion bonuses needs seperate agreed but new artifacts completion bonuses mostly %15 elemental resistance old ones %18 not that overperforming +new artifacts more powerful than most old ones for me

Outclassed by every other artifact in the game eh? Some of the new artifacts are actually very strong. If you're only complaining about the completion bonuses, there are other artifacts with "meh" completion bonuses, such as Poseidon's Net. The set with the +35% attack speed bonus is actually rare, only 3 artifacts can get it. As for some of the new artifacts sharing completion bonuses, that's totally normal. Many vanilla artifacts do.

Since the new artifacts have strong base stats, they would be overpowered if they could get really strong completion modifiers. E.g. Orb of Sihai Longwang gives 60 physical, 60 cold and 60 lightning damage, and +20% to all those types. If you added +35% attack speed modifier to that, it would be insane.

The only thing they're lacking is some form of proc. It's a hallmark of Divine artifacts that they come with an extra ability or proc. Doesn't have to be overpowered, just something flavorful that reminds you which artifact you're using. Only one of the new artifacts has such a thing, it's a toggled aura that's very strong.

So? What build needs 60 physical, 60 cold and 60 lightning damage exactly? Its already hard enough to get res. in this game, so why would you gimp yourself with such an artifact.

Well Poseidons Net is kinda garbage too... But it also has a lot of its powerbudget in its spell, which you should have mentioned. Most old legendary artifacts come from another time. Some are outdated and some are weak. Elemental Rage is a greater artifact that can roll 35% attack speed and is easily as good as the new artifacts...

Of the 6 new artifacts, the completion bonus that grants 15% ele res is by far the best. Sucks it has a 1% chance to roll, so in reality you will never see that. Besides 8% phys res here and there, the other bonuses are USELESS.
