FromSoftware has released a new patch for Elden Ring this October 17 called v1.16, and this brings a short list of bug fixes, but there’s no weapon adjustments or balance changes made. Read on for the Elden Ring update 1.017 patch notes available below courtesy of Bandai Namco.

What’s New in Elden Ring Update 1.017:

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where temporary boosts to player stats would remain even after closing and restarting the game.
  • Several other bug fixes.

Possible unstable performance fixes

  • For the PS5 version of the game, unstable framerate may be improved by using the “Rebuild Database” option from the device’s safe mode.
  • In some PC versions, Ray Tracing may be unintentionally enabled and cause unstable performance. Please check the Ray Tracing setting in the “System” > “Graphics ” > “Ray Tracing Quality” from the title screen or in-game menu.
  • In the PC version, the message “Inappropriate activity detected” may appear without cheating. To fix this issue, please verify the integrity of the game’s files before restarting the game.
  • In the PC version, unstable framerate may be caused by third party applications that control mouse behavior.  Deactivating these third party applications may improve performance.

Will we see a proper performance patch for the PS5 version released in the future? We certainly hope so. In related news for the game’s publisher, speaking of Bandai Namco, the company is said to be laying off hundreds of employees and cancelling multiple projects.
