Now they need to fix the dizziness problem. I get extremely dizzy when playing and another friend of mines does too.

I think this dizzyness issue you speak of only applies to dizzy people in general.

In my case I don’t have a history of motion sickness ( I was in the navy for 12 years and never got sea sick) plus if you do a quick search a lot of ppl have the same problem.. probably some ppl are more likely to feel it but don’t necessarily means you have to be a dizzy person to begin with.

As long as you quit out before going into rest mode there should be no problem with the save issue

Anyone else having issues with input lag? Like I go to take a flask in a fight, it delays half a second, I get hit and then it bloody tries to take the flask when I want to dodge. It’s so annoying.. the same for if I dodge slightly too late, i get hit and then it still does the dodge and I get hit again..

I am working on a side by side comparison video that demonstrates this input lag between elden ring and dark souls 3. Hopefully it will get enough people aware of this issue so it can be fixed

The dodge happens AFTER you release the button, and not on button press. Give it a try. If you press the dodge button, hold a second, and let go – he will dodge. This is by design.

Not as essential as these other issues, but I’ve been unable to use any summons since the beginning of the game. Have the bell and the wolves and it is just greyed out when I equip it to my pouch.

Only available when you’re fighting some bosses. It’s a blue “gate” icon on the left hand side. You cannot spawn it whenever you want

You can only use summons in certain areas and you have to have a certain amount of FP to even summon it. Have you put any points in mind?

When I first played the game it turnt off my console twice now. This has never happened before until I played elden ring.

I found a solution. Use the PS4 version of the game and it will work fine. Then when they update the game with a fix you can do the free upgrade.
