Patch 1.12.2, a new update for ELDEN RING that delivers several calibration updates to the 2022 action RPG’s newly released expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, improving its gameplay balance, is now available for download, developer FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco have announced. A bug where raytracing settings may be automatically enabled has also been confirmed; a fix for this, including other balance adjustments and further bug fixes, are planned for a future patch, the companies said.
Calibration Update 1.12.2 changes include:
- “Attack and damage negation curve scaling of the Shadow Realm Blessings has been revised.”
- “The attack and damage negation has been increased for the first half of the maximum amount of Blessing enhancements, and the second half will now be more gradual.”
- “The attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased.”
- “The calibration update can be applied by logging into the multiplayer server.”
Graphics settings (PC):
- “We have confirmed a bug where the raytracing settings are automatically enabled if you have previously loaded saved data from previous game versions.”
- “If your framerate is unstable, please check in the ‘SYSTEM’ > ‘Graphics Settings’ > ‘Raytracing Quality’ settings from the title menu or in-game menu to check if it has been unintentionally set to ‘ON’. Once set to ‘OFF’, Ray Tracing will no longer be automatically enabled.”
