Halls of Torment’s Oct. 26 Hotfix Will Fix a Training Grounds Loading Bug
The scheduled patch will also correct gamepad navigation, The Lost Archives ability effects, progression unlocks, and display errors.

Chasing Carrots plans to patch Halls of Torment on Oct. 26, fixing an overworld loading hang after players leave the Training Grounds, a gamepad issue when returning to the overworld, and several ability and progression problems, according to its Oct. 26 Steam announcement.
Several fixes address content added with The Lost Archives update, which launched Oct. 22. Signet rings will correctly affect Judging Light, while Arcane Splinter and Lightnings will apply their multistrike bonus on Sacrifice. Blood Rite and Radiant Aura will also benefit from fragile and affliction chance. The Mark of Sacrifice and Judgement will unlock Blood Apostle traits and Primal Energy, respectively.
Other changes cover item descriptions and displayed statistics, including missing Phantom Needles upgrade stats and incorrect Sanguine Grips percentages. Chasing Carrots said few new crash reports came in over the weekend, which led the developer to believe most issues may have been addressed. Players who still encounter crashes are asked to send crash dumps and log files using its crash-report instructions.
