FromSoftware has just released Title Update 1.02.1 for Elden Ring: Nightreign and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new update brings to the table.

Patch 1.02.1 comes with some balance tweaks. To be more precise, it increases the performance of the skill “Storm Ruler”. It reduces the time to charge the storm effect, and it increases the speed of the blade unleashed by the attack. It also increases the attack power when not charged with the storm.

Update 1.02.1 also fixes a few bugs. One bug made it so that, in some situations, using dropped items would stop you from doing anything except moving and controlling the camera. Another bug could make the game’s framerate drop during battles with Everdark Sovereigns “Caligo, Miasma of Night” and “Maris, Fathom of Night” under certain conditions. That’s now fixed. It also fixes a bug where special effects from a successful guard wouldn’t work for certain guard moves.

And that’s not all. This patch also fixes a bug where using certain passive effects or repeatedly casting Sorceries and Incantations could cause network problems. It also fixes an issue where, in some cases, the game’s sound might not play correctly. Now, certain relics can be equipped when using specific filters in the Relic Rites menu. Lastly, it fixes a bug where the passive effect “Frostbite Produces a Mist of Frost” was doing more damage to enemies than it was supposed to.

Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.

Stay tuned for more!
