Summary
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtreehas received a surprising new update that addresses a stat boost issue that was affecting players, along with several other bug fixes. While the developers have left some ambiguity about the specific bugs that were fixed, the community has quickly found out some of the changes introduced in theElden Ring1.16 update.
It’s been a while since theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC was launched, and many players are still exploring every nook and cranny of the Land of Shadows to uncover its secrets. In fact, one player recently discovered aninteresting detail inElden Ringthat could solve one of the biggest mysteries. Meanwhile, the developers have released an update for the DLC, addressing some pressing issues.
Bandai Namco has revealed the complete patch notes for the latestElden Ringupdate. TheElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree1.16 Update primarily focuses on fixing several bugs in the game. However, the only issue that has been explicitly mentioned is related to stat boosts. Apparently, temporaryboosts to player stats inElden Ringwould persist even after the game was restarted, but that will no longer be the case after this update. Apart from that, the patch notes also mention that the update addresses several other bugs, but the developers have not elaborated on those specific issues.
Thankfully, avidElden Ringfans have found an additional bug that was fixed in the update. The fix is aimed toward theGrafted Blade Greatsword inElden Ring, as players will no longer be able to enjoy extended stat boosts due to the weapon’s Ash of War,Oath of Vengeance Skill. This was one of the most frustrating bugs to face in PvP, as it gave the opponents a huge boost in certain stats like vigor, mind, and endurance for an extremely long duration, giving them an unfair advantage.
Apart from that, the developers have also outlined a few solutions for unstable performance. For PlayStation 5 users, rebuilding the database seems to do the trick, while PC players are advised to check their ray tracing settings and ensure that it is turned off. Additionally, the developers recommend that PC players should turn off third-party software that controls mouse behavior. Lastly, players who are getting the “inappropriate activity detected” message on their PC can try verifying the integrity of game files through Steam. While the update brings some important fixes, fans are a tad disappointed that thelast twoElden Ringupdatesdidn’t introduce any substantial changes as such.
