I want to wish all of you who soon will be taking on the mantle of the Tarnished and are venturing into the Lands Between, well on your quest. May you vanquish all evil, recover the Great Runes, restore the Elden Ring, and take your rightful seat as Elden Lord.
Importantly, may you all remember to sustain yourselves properly in this realm whilst you wrestle with demons in that world. A handy squire or handmaiden by your side to deliver regular hydration and sustenance boosts, and to offer regular rest and repose to ensure your IRL health stats stay high may be required.
When you emerge from the Lands Between, I look forward to your words of high and low review.
Digital Foundryās look at performance across PS, XB and PC. Seems there are a handful of issues, but nothing game breaking for most. May the performance patching be quick and soon if you do have any hiccups.
Any PC players (other than @Shrike who is still waiting for his download to finish ) able to give some feedback on PC performance yet?
Steam reviews (thereās over 12000 of them already!) are sitting at 59% Mixed at the moment and the majority of negatives that I glanced through point towards issues of optimisation. Frame rate dips and stutters, freezes in the middle of boss fights, crashes, and a lack of support for ultrawide monitors seem to be the most common.
There are still a ton of positive reviews too, so hopefully the issues are few and far between, and none of you are sufferers.
90+ percent from the reviewers - 59% from the reviews on Steam. Seems to be the norm for major releases these days. And itās often the performance issues that are the cause.
I tried for a bit and it seems okay to me so far. A little bit of stuttering here and there but nothing major yet. Itās mostly over 50fps as far as I can see.
I play on a pretty medium to low spec PC so I as long as there are graphics sliders I can pull down before a boss fight, I will be ok. I get quite used to pumping the sliders to full to take a good look at a beautiful open world and then down again for the big action.
I have noticed some texture and or asset pop-in while exploring the world, but that doesnāt seem to be related to distance rendering as it has happened quite close up. Mostly just instances like plants and grass.
Iām already at the rage quit point. Tried 4 diffferent classes. I canāt get anywhere. I find lots of bonfires and new areas but get wrecked everywhere I go. Done for today. Brilliant game though.
Haha, donāt let me dissuade you man. Despite my love for these games I am really terrible at them. The only way I made it through most difficult bosses was by summoning people. Itās just that Iām having no luck summons in Elden Ring, itās launch day so there will be online issues for sure. And Ćām struggling to find a starting class that I feel I can stick with and build upon. I usually tend to play warrior / knight classes in these games but Iām trying out a mage class now. I did initially start with 2 different melee classes but both of them donāt really use shields and Iām not great at rolling in combat. If I donāt come right with mage Iām just gonna go back to traditional strenght based knight with a shield and sword.
Right there with you. Iām fascinated by the premise and lore of the game - and the previous Souls, FromSoftware, and Souls-like games - but playing it? Nah, not for me. Iāll even spend hours watching other play. But I just canāt. All power to those that can and do though - I have much respect for your tolerance for self-inflicted pain
I play games for fun and to relax. And sure, I like a bit of a challenge every now and then. But the level of intensity, focus, and skill needed for something like thisā¦? Nope.
One of the reviews I watched showed it. Actually, I think that extended trailer also mentioned stealth if I remember correctly.
) able to give some feedback on PC performance yet?
