Elden Ring: Update notes Patch 1.03

We are distributing this new update to fix a bug in patch 1.03.

Fixed a bug in the balance adjustment of the boss "Starscourge Radahn" in update 1.03, in which the power of some attacks was unintentionally reduced.

Seems like they've made Radahn a bit too easy if they're pushing this fix out on it's own so quickly. I haven't fought him since the nerf, so I don't know. I was fine with the original difficulty to be honest. Such an epic fight needs to be a proper challenge.

The one thing I've noticed, that needs to be fixed asap, is the performance in Ordina Liturgical Town. I'm pretty sure it only happens when using a certain torch, because the first time I've been there I didn't notice any major issues. But going through it, yesterday was by far the worst performing part of the game for me.

I'm also curious if the passive status effects on weapons work as intended. It seems odd to me that bleed and poison scale, but other status effects don't seem to scale with anything. At least that's according to my own limited testing so far.

yeah i solo'd Rahdaan with out online help and before the nerf and with using a horse; i only died like 5 times, i don't get why people think he was so difficult. Especially to nerf him so much. Sigh

ChubbyBlade1432d ago

He really wasn’t very difficult. He’s very hard for people trying to solo him but the fight is set up as a summon battle. You’re supposed to call in AI summons for the “festival”. Soloing him was very tough but doable but that’s not how the fight was designed which was where the difficulty came from.

IanTH1432d ago

I agree that he seemed easy. I'm interested in trying him again in a new playthrough, since I'm going to do no summons the next time through. Radahn went down the first time I fought him, and I just felt like it was mainly due to how much of his attention I could get to be on other people. I also feel like I had my dodge game on point, and that also helped a ton (note - this is not a common occurrence lol).

I think my second run is going to involve exponentially more pain than I've accrued so far in this one lol.

SDuck1432d ago

Just fought him yesterday and I agree he was a bit too easy. Defeated him on my 2nd try (because I didn't know I could summon allies in my 1st try) and this is my first FS game and I suck. For the spectacle that left my jaw dropped, this boss should've been harder for sure.

Instead of focusing on balances, focus on performance especially the pc version lol. I'm not playing the game again until they fix the stutters and fps drops. Balance seems fine as it is and be least priority.

spirited1433d ago

They won't fix it. If u look at their history every game has performance issues and they neglect it.

SyntheticForm1433d ago

Same engine as Bloodborne; basically a last-gen game.

There are downsides, but the upside is that they're really familiar with this engine and have mastered it.

saint_seya1433d ago

Im only like 10hrs in the game, just cuz i find stupid having to use a mod (that makes me play offline) because the enemies are invisible (and my horse too) without it. And the game runs fine with the mod, so i can tell isnt my computer (there is a lot of people having same issue).

AKS1433d ago

Most of my technical issues are stuttering and freezing. I have a 2080 Super and a friend has a 3080, and we both had problems running it. It also seems like the freezing happens way more often if you Alt-Tab, which is pretty obnoxious given you often want to look up bits of info regarding complex questlines and whatnot. It still runs pretty poorly currently, and the widescreen situation is an additional source of irritation. It obviously can run in widescreen because with a mod it does that, but you can get banned if you use it online, a significant aspect of the experience. I think a team like Insominac would have most of this fixed and dramatically improved within a day or two. FROM could really use some improvements on the technical front. Creatively they are superb, among the best, but the PC version wasn't ready for release and is still in a rough state.

Stanjara1433d ago

I can't wait for someone to remaster this game.

Snakeeater251433d ago

They should fix the multiplayer I can let find the signs of my friends and am lvl 140

Obelisk921433d ago (Edited 1433d ago )

Did you try using a password? Or maybe you just can't summon anyone anymore because you already beat the boss of the area.

Obelisk921432d ago

Weird, I had no issues with the multiplayer so far.

Despite a blockbuster hit which surpassed their own sale expectations, it is highly likely and saddening that performance issues will never be addressed.

VersusDMC1433d ago

Been enjoying the PS4 version on PS5. 60 fps is a must for me. Was hoping the PS5 would have been fixed by now and i could switch over...100 hours later still nothing.

tombfan1433d ago

I'm starting to think it's also part of their gameplay difficulty method hahaha if you can pass the frustrating performance issues while playing, then you're truly a from fan.

Awesome! Well deserved for this masterpiece and easily the best game of last year in my opinion. Also the soundtrack is beyond incredible and I find myself listening to it often ever since playing the game.

Juancho5145d ago

It definitely had my vote for best game. What a moving story and wonderful voice cast. Seriously a joy to have been able to enjoy this game.

Alos8845d ago

Imagine pulling this off with your first game lol

andy8545d ago

Well deserved. Highest player rated game of all time so it's no surprise

Goodguy0144d ago

Turns out that making a game with love and just making it great is all you need. Especially implementing some of gamings greatest mechanics that were once loved but forgotten. Sandfall deserves it.

badz14944d ago

Yeah but even the worst CoD or FIFA game still make heaps and bounds more money than this ever will. Investors don't care about awards, they care about monetary returns.
