Elden Ring went on sale in a far from perfect condition – primarily on PC, which explains the surprisingly low ratings at first for Steam users. FromSoftware is working hard to fix bugs in its latest game.

We just received another post-launch patch for Elden Ring. marked this time With code 1.02.2. The patch was released with PC and PS5 in mind (Xbox owners have to wait for their update to be released).

The most significant changes relate to the problematic version on gaming PCs. FromSoftware in the announcement released that the patch improves the use of graphics cards, which resulted in annoying animation jams on release day and with patch 1.02.1 (more on the issue here).

On PS5, the patch basically improves Elden Ring’s behavior when the game is closed. Our progress should now be saved correctly – even if we don’t use Exit to the main menu in the options.
