Elden Ring’s new spin-off has another update just a few days after release. There was already a day 1 patch, which fixed some issues, but also highlighted that some modern graphics cards don’t run the game well. Even with the games’ relatively light system requirements, RTX 40 and 50 series owners reported the low performance that FromSoftware had begun to investigate.

Now that patch 1.01.1 has been released, we were expecting to see something to address the graphics card problems, but it might just be too soon for that. Instead, the patch mainly adds support for solo players, offering a revival upon death and an increased rune count for solo expeditions.

There are also more general balance adjustments, but also plenty of bug fixes, smoothing the game out. Even though this is a general patch for each system, there is also a Steam-only adjustment. Fixing some graphics rendering issues with the low-quality settings. So if you’re still experiencing graphics issues, you might have to wait even longer for an official fix.
