Elden Ring developer FromSoftware has released patch 1.15 for the action game and its expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via Steam.
Patch 1.15 comes hot on the heels of Elden Ring’s big balance-changing 1.14 update, and thus does not contain any further balance changes or additional features. Check out the patch notes below, courtesy of publisher Bandai Namco.
Elden Ring is one of the biggest video games of recent years, selling an incredible 25 million copies since going on sale in 2022. The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is a hit, too, selling five million in just three days despite tough requirements.
IGN’s Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree review returned a 10/10. We said: “Like the base game did before it, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree raises the bar for single-player DLC expansions. It takes everything that made the base game such a landmark RPG, condenses it into a relatively compact 20-25 hour campaign, and provides fantastic new challenges for heavily invested fans to chew on.”

Possible unstable performance fixes
- For the PS5 version of the game, unstable framerate may be improved by using the “Rebuild Database” option from the device’s safe mode.
- In some PC versions, Ray Tracing may be unintentionally enabled and cause unstable performance. Please check the Ray Tracing setting in the “System” > “Graphics ” > “Ray Tracing Quality” from the title screen or in-game menu.
- In the PC version, the message “Inappropriate activity detected” may appear without cheating.
- To fix this issue, please verify the integrity of the game’s files before restarting the game.
- In the PC version, unstable framerate may be caused by third party applications that control mouse behavior. Deactivating these third party applications may improve performance.
