Patches are promised to fix the stuttering, mouse, and Easy Anti-Cheat problems.
The release of Elden Ring was preceded by « universal acclaim » from reviewers and a Metacritic score of 97, but the PC version is definitely not up to the same standard as the console releases. Of the current 27,594 reviews on Steam, over 15,000 are « Mixed » mainly due to the performance shortfalls the game is experiencing. The game stutters and struggles to maintain the promised 60fps even when the resolution is set to 1080p and the game is being run with an RTX 3080 Series graphics card. Publisher Bandai Namco has acknowledged there are problems and apologized « for any inconvenience this may cause and ask for your patience.
