FromSoftware deployed a brand new Elden Ring patch update on all supported platforms, bringing the game to the patch 1.09.1. At the same time, we have made adjustments in response to some comments made by previous players.

But players should not expect this patch to bring any major changes to the game. The focus of this patch 1.09.1 update is to fix a bug. This bug caused certain Skills, Incantations, Items and weapons’ attack power increases to not apply when the player actually casts them. 

In addition, the previously controversial Jellyfish Shield’s Contagious Fury Skill has also been successfully repaired. As a result, players no longer consistently increase their attack power while unequipping or switching weapons.

Since the game’s official release in February 2022, FromSoftware has released several update patches for Elden Ring, many of which are aimed at fixing bugs, maintaining the balance of the game, and making the overall content of the game story self-consistent.

This patch 1.09.1 fixes some bugs, including that the system can automatically enable Ray Tracing if the player wants to enable it. The developers have made some tweaks to address this issue, as well as some additional workarounds.

According to FromSoftware, once it enabled Ray Tracing, some players with less powerful computers will need to make sure their hardware meets the minimum system requirements if they want to use the same skill. They added Ray Tracing effect to Elden Ring in the last major update released late last month.

After the last update, the developers found that Cursed-Blood Slice’s Poise damage seemed a bit too good to be less effective after this update. After patch 1.09, default in “some circumstances” may enable Ray Tracing and affect the player’s overall performance in combat. Therefore, FromSoftware recommends that players go into the settings to turn it off.

Additionally, if the game is unstable or does not function properly with Ray Tracing enabled, PC players should update their GPU drivers and ensure they meet the minimum and recommended system requirements. Unfortunately, there is no word on whether it will be improved or expanded in the future. As always, we will have to wait for changes to appear in subsequent updates.

This Elden Ring patch also adds some new features to the game, such as a massive Colosseum update that opens up the various arenas that exist in the world for PVP combat. 

At the same time, a small adjustment has been made to Ray Tracing in this patch. Many players may not have discovered the problem of this function before. But anyway, FromSoftware has now rolled out a relatively minor change to Ray Tracing with a new set of changes.

As previously explained by Bandai Namco, this Elden Ring 1.09.1 patch update includes hotfixes and a balance change, as well as adjustments and instructions for PC players when using Ray Tracing. Finally, the latest Elden Ring update also reduces the balance damage of Morgott’s Cursed Sword. Players will feel the changes during use.

Bandai Namco mentioned that if players experience any issues with Ray Tracing feature in Elden Ring, users can turn it off from the in-game menu. At the same time, he also said that users need to meet the minimum system configuration they require when using it, and update the graphics driver at the same time. 

The 1.09.1 patch for Elden Ring is pretty small this time around compared to some of the other updates, but hopefully fans will experience fewer bugs while playing the game.

There is another news in this update that deserves players’ attention. There isn’t much information about this DLC other than it’s currently in development, so fans will have to wait for information on its price and the amount of content on offer. By the time it’s released, players will probably see more changes coming to Elden Ring. I believe that these will definitely meet the expectations of players.

Elden Ring 1.09.1 update patch notes are as follows:

1. Gameplay changes and bug fixes.
2. The previously Jellyfish Shield’s Contagious Fury Skill has also been successfully repaired.
3. Fixed a bug where Skill Contagious Fury from Jellyfish Shield would keep increasing attack power when removing the shield or switching to an unfamiliar weapon.
4. Reduced the balance damage of Cursed-Blood Slice Skill.
5. If Ray Tracing ever turns on suddenly during your gameplay, you can avoid this by setting Ray Tracing to Off after going to System from the title menu.
6. If there is no smoothness or instability when using Ray Tracing in the game, you can try the following two ways to solve it:

• Before using Ray Tracing, please check whether your PC configuration meets the minimum requirements for successful operation.
• Update your graphics card driver and make sure it runs with the latest patch.

Elden Ring fans are still eager to learn more about the game’s upcoming expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. There is currently no release date for this DLC, and we know almost nothing about it so far. It remains to be seen how the story of this new DLC will develop, and what we can expect from new areas to explore and new bosses.

In any case, this patch is constantly improving the player’s overall gaming experience. While waiting for the arrival of Shadow of the Erdtree, don’t forget to continue to upgrade and build.
