Elden Ring Update 1.15 Releases With New Shadow of the Erdtree Fixes

As a seasoned Elden Ring player with countless hours spent navigating its labyrinthine world and defeating its formidable foes, I can confidently say that update 1.15 is a breath of fresh air. While I was initially skeptical about yet another bug fix patch, the improvements in performance and stability have been nothing short of miraculous.

Today marks the launch of version update 1.15 for Elden Ring on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC systems. Following the release of Shadow of the Erdtree earlier this summer, FromSoftware has consistently been making updates to Elden Ring. Previous patches were primarily focused on new content from Shadow of the Erdtree and made some of the expansion’s bosses less challenging to defeat. The latest update, however, is more about fixing bugs within the game.

Currently available for download, the latest update (version 1.15) for Elden Ring is relatively modest in size compared to previous updates. As previously stated, the primary focus of this update is on squashing bugs that players have reported. These bugs range from issues specific to certain weapons or locations within Elden Ring, to problems with sound effects and even the credits. Additionally, FromSoftware has implemented some enhancements to improve stability and performance in Elden Ring.

To comprehensively understand all the changes made by Elden Ring’s update 1.15, feel free to check out the detailed list of modifications provided below.

Possible unstable performance fixes

For the PS5 version of the game, unstable framerate may be improved by using the “Rebuild Database” option from the device’s safe mode.
In some PC versions, Ray Tracing may be unintentionally enabled and cause unstable performance. Please check the Ray Tracing setting in the “System” > “Graphics ” > “Ray Tracing Quality” from the title screen or in-game menu.
In the PC version, the message “Inappropriate activity detected” may appear without cheating.

To fix this issue, please verify the integrity of the game’s files before restarting the game.

In the PC version, unstable framerate may be caused by third party applications that control mouse behavior. Deactivating these third party applications may improve performance.
