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

ChubbyBlade1483d 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.

IanTH1483d 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.

SDuck1483d 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.

spirited1483d ago

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

SyntheticForm1483d 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_seya1483d 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).

AKS1483d 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.

Stanjara1483d ago

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

Snakeeater251483d ago

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

Obelisk921483d ago (Edited 1483d 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.

Obelisk921483d 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.

VersusDMC1483d 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.

tombfan1483d 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.

why is that dumb? It's the same price everywhere else.

repsahj17d ago

Because it's Nintendo. Post negative first before analizing.

LiViNgLeGaCY16d ago

Because this is the ONLY version you can buy on the S2, correct? I don't think you can buy just the game for $60 like the other platforms. And if I'm wrong about this, then I take it back.

LiViNgLeGaCY16d ago

@repsahj - Dude, shut up. I like Nintendo a lot, actually. I just want the option to get the base game for $60 WITHOUT the DLC. I've done plenty of "analyzing".

Neonridr17d ago

Before anyone complains, this is the same price on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam. It comes with the Game and the DLC.

Elda17d ago

The game is $40 & the expansion is $40 so the price is right.

VersusDMC17d ago

The standard edition physical should have been 40 then with the expansion seperate. Why normalize 80 dollar games? Specially ports of old games.

If people accept this might as well make physical 80 dollar deluxe versions only.

repsahj17d ago

This $80 version is also available on PS5 and XSX.

VersusDMC16d ago

@repsahj

The ps5 has the standard version and the 80$ version so it gives you the choice...on switch 2 physical you can only buy the 80 dollar version.

I guess since they got the data that less than half of elden ring players beat the game and would probably not buy the DLC, they decided to just not make it an option and charge more...

GotGame81816d ago

Like it or not, the vast majority of game sales are digital. Just like movies, and music. At least Gamekey cards are shareable and you can sell them.
