Developers are looking into it but in the meantime, you may need to reduce your graphical settings if your PC is suffering frame rate drops.
Elden Ring Nightreign won’t be out for a few more hours—3 pm PT, 6 pm ET, or your local equivalent, here’s the full rundown of all the Nightreign launch times—but the first patch is here. Which is to say, the patch notes are up on the Bandai Namco website, along with a heads-up that the PC version of the game may suffer frame rate drops on some setups.
The patch notes for Elden Ring Nightreign version 1.01 are, well, vague:
Improved handling of playable characters
Soundtrack addition and adjustment
Text adjustments
Balance adjustments
Added character scenarios
Bug fixes
It’s not much to go on—hopefully we’ll have a clearer picture of what „improved handling“ and „balance adjustments“ mean fairly soon.
