FromSoftware has just released Title Update 1.16.1 for Elden Ring and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new patch brings to the table.

From what I can see, this is a really small patch. To be more precise, it fixes two bugs/issues. The first was a bug that could cause the wrong affinity or status ailments to be applied to some weapons when performing specific actions. The second bug would let players bypass being blocked by another player on any platform through unauthorized methods.

And that’s it. No new tech features, no QoL improvements, no more fixes. So, in a way, this will be a nothing-burger for a lot of Elden Ring fans. It sucks because it’s been a while since we got a patch for the base game, and not for Nightreign.

Speaking of Elden Ring, there are some other cool mods that you can try. The first must-have mod is the Seamless Co-op Mod. Then we have this mod, which brings to the game a parry system like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. Now, if you don’t want to use the MGRR Mod, you can try this one that adds Sekiro-like deflection & dodge mechanics. You can also find an unofficial Survival Mode mod. Make sure to also check out Primeval Balance V3 for new character classes with cool moves. And don’t miss the fantastic first-person mod. NVIDIA RTX owners can also use this mod to enable DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution. There is also an AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation Mod. And finally, if you want to improve its graphics, there’s a huge 25GB HD Texture Pack for over 4500 textures.

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

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
