TL;DR
Patch 0.5.5d fixes a range of bugs in Path of Exile 2, including Azmeri Spirits manifest behavior, Expedition and Strongbox interactions, Ritual and Delirium issues, tablet handling, several visual problems, and a client crash.
What Changed
- Fixed Azmeri Spirits chance to manifest when released so it is split between each possessing spirit instead of being increased by each one.
- Fixed a controller issue that prevented currency use on Strongboxes in the Barren Atoll Expedition.
- Disease puddles from the Plaguebearer Back Attachment MTX now fizzle away after a short period.
- The Plagueling from Chetza, The Feathered Plague no longer revives in Rituals.
- Precursor Tablets can no longer be Ctrl-clicked into unavailable slots when opening non-regular maps, such as Matriarch/Patriarch Halls or a Grand Expedition.
- Precursor Tablets now give clearer feedback when not applied to the map, including greying out and showing the number in red.
- Fixed incorrect Ritual reward deferral cost values.
- Fixed Delirium progress not pausing while the player was in the Viridian Wildwood.
- Fixed Manifest Weapon being unable to attack enemies while a Talisman was equipped.
- Fixed Cryptic Keys being usable on Buried Strongboxes in Expeditions.
- Fixed Moor of Fallen Skies missing a Verisium Remnant in the Runes of Aldur league.
- Fixed a visual-only issue where a fourth tablet could be quick-moved into a map with only three slots; the fourth tablet was never consumed.
- Fixed cosmetics UI issues affecting Vampiric Mortar Cannon, Artillery Ballista, and Siege Ballista.
- Fixed Spark visuals after passing through a Phantasmal Flame Wall.
- Fixed the Azmeri Noble Deer Pet sometimes appearing invisible.
- Fixed Arachnamagus Portal popping in and out of existence without playing its effect properly.

Compared With Previous Patch
A verified comparison is unavailable because no earlier revision with different patch-note content was supplied. The current and previous evidence text are identical.
Player Impact
- Supported impact: several gameplay blockers and interaction bugs were corrected, especially around Expeditions, Strongboxes, Rituals, Delirium, and tablet placement.
- Supported impact: some visual and cosmetic issues were fixed, including Spark effects, pet visibility, and portal behavior.
- Cautious implication: clearer tablet feedback and the fix to the fourth-tablet visual issue may reduce confusion when managing maps, but the evidence does not confirm any broader balance change.
