Performance issues in Elden Ring: A message from Bandai Namco

Some gamers are experiencing not only a wonderful action adventure with Elden Ring, but unfortunately also performance dips when playing - and this seems to be irrespective of the PC system's performance. Even gamers with potent gaming computers and 3090 graphics cards occasionally experience drops in framerate. These can occur briefly, especially when you explore new areas.

Publisher Bandai Namco is already working on a solution. We are sure that another patch will fix such problems in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, Bandai Namco has issued a public statement, which we quote here:

Bandai Namco on the performance issues in ELDEN RING.

Main items to be revised

• Regarding the problem of the mouse being too sensitive in the PC version: We will be sending out a patch for this issue in the near future.
• Regarding the problem of Easy Anti-Cheat failing to launch when the Steam account name is set to 2-byte characters.: We are aware of the cause of this issue and will be providing a patch in the near future.
