Elden Ringpatch 1.05 has arrived, bringing with it a bevy of bug fixes for the action RPG but few particularly thrilling changes.
The latestElden Ringupdate, which is already live, focuses on improving the game’s stability and balance. Thepatch notesdetail fixes to skills that haven’t been activating or functioning correctly, faulty NPC spawns, weapon glitches, and a bug that caused Malenia to sometimes spawn with low health.
Loading times on theXbox Series Xversion of the game have also been improved, and the online multiplayer connection betweenPS4andPS5players has been made more stable. The game’s text has also been tightened up in places, and a glitch that prevented some players from activating the next Site of Grace after felling Starscourge Radahn has been fixed.
Elsewhere in the patch notes, publisher Bandai Namco lists a few changes that will be handy if you’re on a second playthrough. When trading with the Twin Maiden Husk, certain Bell Bearing items have been changed so that “their liberated status will be carried over” to New Game+ playthroughs.
Additional sound effects have been added too, notifying you when another player’s summon sign appears. The patch has also “added emphasis to the choice of the Sacred Flask and several other options that can be strengthened in the grace menu”, although what specifically has been changed isn’t clear.
Elden Ring hasn’t been short of updates since it launched earlier this year. The patches have introducedmajor balance changes, fixedfaulty bosses, and givenRadahn his groove back. They’ve also been gradually altering Elden Ring’s in-game map without anyone realizing.
