Torchlight 2 online co-op comes back to Steam after frustrations with the classic ARPG’s new third-party solution

Torchlight 2’s online co-op has returned to Steam account sign-ins after players encountered problems with the TapTap service introduced in September. The change removes the need to create a TapTap account and restores the game’s previous login method.

The update is now live across all versions and does not alter other game content or multiplayer services. Players who used TapTap will need to add their friends again through Steam, as friend lists do not transfer between services; single-player progress and local saves should be unaffected. A separate, optional beta branch is still being developed with quality-of-life improvements, including controller support, faster loading and fewer crashes.
