Rise, Tarnished, for a new Elden Ring<\/a> update today has launched and Bandai Namco\/FromSoftware has revealed all it changes in the version 1.12.3 patch notes.<\/p>\n

Before you ask, no, this new Elden Ring update (4th July) does not add any new content. This is an update that brings balance adjustments and bug fixes following the release of the massive Shadow of the Erdtree<\/a> DLC.<\/p>\n

The version 1.12.3 patch is live now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X\/S, PS4, PS5, and Steam versions of the game.<\/p>\n

The Elden Ring update today (4th July) brings with it a bunch of balance adjustments and bug fixes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Rolling Sparks Skill, for example, has been fixed so it now does less damage than it did before. Your Thrusting Shield successful guards will now use up more stamina, too.<\/p>\n

There are a few notable nerfs in this update, not just those above. Lightning Perfume Bottle and Frenzyflame Perfume Bottle attacks will no longer deal double damage under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n

Bloodfiend\u2019s Arm has also been nerfed\u2026 FromSoftware really wants us to suffer.<\/p>\n

The patch notes make it clear that all of the above were actually bugs that have now been fixed. Those weapons were not meant to be as strong as they were.<\/p>\n

Following the update, too, you should now be able to improve the unstable framerate of the PS5 version by using \u2018Rebuild Database\u2019 in the console\u2019s safe mode.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find the full list of Elden Ring 1.12.3 patch notes below.<\/p>\n
