Elden Ring Title Update 1.14 Released, Full Patch Notes

by

FromSoftware has just released Title Update 1.14 for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. As the team noted, this update brings bug fixes and balance adjustments, as well as changes to the expansion's final battle, so let's take a closer look.

Patch 1.14 fixes a bug where the hitboxes of some of Rellana, Twin Moon Knight's attacks were different than intended. It also fixes a bug that prevented the player from receiving runes when killing an enemy while holding a shield. Additionally, the developers have fixed a bug that could cause incorrect player movement when using target lock on some skills.

As I said, Update 1.14 makes some changes to the final battle. As far as I can see, there are no spoilers, so you can safely read these changes without being spoiled. So the patch changes the action pattern when the battle starts. It also reduces the damage of some attacks and increases the visibility of some attack effects.

There are no technical improvements as far as I can see, so don't expect any major performance improvements. The developers haven't even added DLSS or FSR yet. Yes, there is a mod that allows you to enable DLSS, but it would have been cool to get native support for both AMD FSR 3.0 and NVIDIA DLSS 3 with Frame Generation.

The good news is that Elden Ring has some awesome mods that you can use. The first mod that you absolutely must have is the Seamless Co-op Mod. A few days ago, the modding team behind it added support for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion. Then we have this mod that adds a parry system to the game like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. If you don't want to use the MGRR mod, you can try this one that adds Sekiro-like deflection and dodge mechanics. You can also find an unofficial Survival Mode mod. Also, check out Primeval Balance V3 for new character classes with cool moves. And don't miss the awesome First Person mod. And finally, there's a massive 25GB HD Texture Pack with over 4500 textures if you want to improve the graphics.

As always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch the client. You can also find the full changelog below.
