Blizzard has just rolled out a brand new update for Diablo 3 on the PC and Mac platforms, taking it to version 1.0.8a and fixing a few different bugs.

The patch also increases the stack size of gold in the real-money auction house to 10 million, after it was decreased during the controversial glitch last week.

Diablo 3 was released to the world one year ago and Blizzard has decided to greet active players with a fresh update that takes the game up to version 1.0.8a.

There aren't a lot of new things included in the patch, but the issues addressed are quite important, such as the elimination of rubberbanding when using Tempest Rush, Strafe, or Whirlwind, or the improvement of other features.

What's more, after the controversial glitch that affected the Auction Houses, Blizzard has decided through the new patch to once again increase the size of gold stacks in the real-money marketplace to 10 million, after they were temporarily decreased to 1 million.
