The long-awaited and well-reviewed Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, is out very quickly on all platforms. Nevertheless, in the event you’ve been taking part in Elden Ring on Valve’s moveable PC, the Steam Deck, you might need to attend for an upcoming hotfix to take a look at the brand new enlargement as the sport seems unplayable for a lot of.
From Software program’s Elden Ring was a large hit in 2022 and one of many 12 months’s finest video games. Sadly for a lot of PC gamers, when the open-world motion RPG launched it suffered from all kinds of nasty points. This wasn’t the case on the Steam Deck, although, the place Valve really carried out some fixes to alleviate stutter and different issues. This had the bizarre impact of constructing the Steam Deck probably the greatest methods to play Elden Ring, and consequently, that’s the place many, many individuals performed it. Now, nonetheless, many gamers returning upfront of the upcoming DLC aren’t capable of take pleasure in Elden Ring on Steam Deck.
On June 20, Namco Bandai and From Software program launched replace 1.12 for Elden Ring, which is required to play the brand new DLC. Nevertheless, it appears this replace has damaged the RPG on Steam Deck, with some gamers reporting that they will’t even hook up with the servers to play Elden Ring. Others are reporting an odd bug the place Elden Ring may simply cease accepting inputs in the event you depart your Steam Deck idle for greater than 5 minutes.
On Thursday, the official Elden Ring Twitter account acknowledged the enter bug shortly after the replace went reside. It confirmed that the staff was conscious of the issue on Steam Deck and was already engaged on a hotfix. No launch date or window was offered for when to count on this replace, although the developer did “apologize” to Steam Deck gamers for the “inconvenience.”
I assume many gamers who purchased Elden Ring on Steam Deck have entry to a good PC the place they will play the sport till the hotfix is reside. However for many who don’t have a gaming PC and personal Elden Ring on the Steam Deck, it is a crappy state of affairs that hopefully will likely be mounted quickly.
