Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Gets First Patch in Update 1.12.2

Update 1.12.2 for Elden Ring revised the Shadow Realm Blessings, affecting their attack and damage negation curve scaling3. 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 gradual3. Additionally, the attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased3.

To address the raytracing bug in the PC version of Elden Ring, players can navigate to the graphics settings menu by selecting 'SYSTEM' > 'Graphics Settings' > 'Raytracing Quality'. From there, they should ensure that the raytracing option is set to 'OFF' to prevent it from being automatically enabled when loading saved data from previous game versions. This should help stabilize the game's frame rate if it was affected by the bug.
