Bandai Namco issues statement on Elden Ring performance issues

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have responded to a number of issues that are reportedly affecting the recently released Elden Ring.

While Elden Ring has already become one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, it is apparently not without its problems. Most of these are minor, easily forgivable bugs that have not changed how people feel about the game, but players have still reported them in the hopes that the experience will become even smoother in the near future.

Less than 24 hours after launch, Bandai Namco has already posted a blog describing the next steps in rectifying the issues with Elden Ring.

The post begins with a standard apology before getting into the nitty gritty of what you can expect to be amended first. Details vary from minor grievances like excessive mouse sensitivity on PC to more readily ostensible problems such as frame rate drops.

Players have also reported issues with saving the game on PS5, which is obviously a particularly impeding factor in that it quite literally prevents progress. While FromSoftware is working on a patch, it recommends that you “quit the game by opening the system menu using the Option button and selecting ‘Quit Game'” to temporarily circumvent the problem.

The post ends by stating that the team is also working to fix some smaller issues, and welcomes further reports from anyone who experiences any complications while playing Elden Ring.
