Elden Ringcame into being when FromSoftware combined their Dark Souls formula with an open-world take. The game was immensely successful both commercially and in the eyes of critics. It also bagged the GotY title in 2022 at the Game Awards.
SinceElden Ringis as old as it is, one doesn’t expect any more updates to it, now, most issues about it have been fixed by the dev, who has taken player feedback seriously. However, a year later, there has been a new update for the title, but players aren’t amused because that is not what they want to be added to the title. The update was shipped on January 11, and patch notes were released.
Elden Ring Update 1.10.1 offerings and how people reacted to it
The update is labeled 1.10.1 for the title; official patch notes can be foundhere. As mentioned, the update comes much later thanElden Ring‘s release date and came at a time when most of the glaring issues with the title were fixed. Hence, it wasn’t a very elaborate one.
The update went live and targeted theElden Ring‘s release on Steam, the most popular platform for video games on PC. The update also serves as a means to strengthen anti-cheat measures in the game’s Easy Anti Cheat service to ensure fair play and a better experience for players on PC. This makes sense because the PC is the platform more prone to seeing players indulge in unfair means.
The update’s sole offering was described as:
Easy Anti-Cheat update to support the Steam OS update.
Also, it was promised by the developers that improvement updates will be provided now and then to ensure that the experience remains smooth and comfortable for users. As is the case with most updates, it is necessary to download and install the update before playing online.
It can be understood that at the stage at whichElden Ringis in its lifecycle, a minor update to do away with or at least possibly limit the possibility of people cheating and making the experience worse should be okay. However, some may be disappointed because of the fact that the studio has set a very tough benchmark to meet in terms of updates they have rolled out. Various features that have shaped the gameplay experience have been shipped as updates.
It has been known for a long time thatElden Ringis set to receive its DLC title, Shadow of the Erdtree, for quite some time. It was announced in February 2023, and has been almost a year since an update. Fans are getting visibly impatient as they want to continue their experience.
Some content has been released about the update, but the team in charge has not received word about the release date. Also, not even a trailer that would give some details about the update has been dished out by FromSoftware. Some rumors have stated that the update will be making its way in February 2024, but since there has been no official word about the same, one should take this with a pinch of salt.
This is how users reacted to the Tweet by Elden Ring’s official Twitter handle:
What about DLC
this isn’t dlc
No DLC news in 11 months but the anti cheat has been improved
Why are we having a team of people working on updating this game when its already fine, when they could just be working on shadow of the erdtree with the rest of the Elden ring team so we can get the dlc before 2026
As seen from their Tweets, fans seem visibly impatient, and some are also frustrated with the lack of updates received by theElden Ring‘s upcoming DLC. Also, some users complained about the title’s performance on next-gen systems such as the PlayStation 5.Elden Ringseems to have some issues to fix apart from delivering the DLC, which, per fans, is now long overdue. Only time will tell when the ace studio will reveal something about it.
