Ahead of the launch of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring Nightreign, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bandai Namco has releasꦛed the Elden Ring Nightreign 1.01🐠 patch notes (even if the game isn't out yet). While the patch doesn't actually give away too much about the game, outside of vague descriptions like "Balance adjustments" and "Bug fixes," it does feature a harrowing warning for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware fans on PC.

"We have confirmed that some PC configu༺rations using the latest graphics cards may experience frame rate drops." the says, adding "In the meantime, If you experience significant frame rate drops, you may be able to resolve it by setting the grap🤡hics settings from the default 'High' to 'Medium' or 'Low' and lowering the screen resolution, as well as installing the latest drivers for your graphics card." The publisher also assures "We are currently investigating the cause."

2025 hasn't been the best year for PC Ports, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rise of the Ronin, and all being varying degrees of bad and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Spider-Man 2 taking the crown so far this year. Hopefully Nightreign isn't on the level of any of those, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bandai Namco pu🧸tting a warning out in advance isn't making me the most hoꦑpeful.

On the other hand, of the game calls it "A bare-bones console port with glitches a-plenty," but also notes that the stuttering issue found in the origina🍷l Elden Ring PC version is "nowhere near as bad." Plus, lighter PC builds are able to play the game at an acceptable standard, albeit after some tinkering in the settings.

If there's one thing about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware fans on PC though, they persist. Dark Souls 1's original PC version was played for years, and that was a shockingly bad port with Games for Windows Live integration. So much so that the DSfix mod was practically required if you wanted to play the game on PC until the Remastered edition released in 2018.

We're counting down the hours until launch with our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring Nightreign release live blog.
