Nightreign Patch Notes – Full Update Details, New Gear & Gameplay Fixes

Update 1.01 & 1.01.1: What’s New in Elden Ring Nightreign Quick Summary • Patch 1.01 (day-one) refines controls, balances combat, adds soundtrack tracks, fixes text, and introduces new character scenarios. • Hotfix 1.01.1 arrives this week with server maintenance to address crashes and PC frame-rate stutter. • FromSoftware confirms a larger 1.02 balance update aimed at easing brutal solo play via “Automatic Revival Upon Defeat.” Why the Patch Matters Nightreign is designed for three-player co-op, but thousands are attempting the DLC solo. The first two patches smooth the experience and lay groundwork for bigger balance changes promised in 1.02. Key Patch-Note Highlights 1. Gameplay & Balance • Improved hit-detection on Greatsword and Twinblade classes. • Enemy poise reduced for early-game mini-bosses, shortening stagger windows from 0.9 s to 0.6 s. • Spirit Ashes now consume 10 % less FP, encouraging summoning in solo runs. • New “Automatic Revival Upon Defeat” (planned for 1.02) will trigger once per legacy dungeon, restoring 50 % HP and FP on the spot. 2. Quality-of-Life Tweaks • Sprint acceleration toned down to make tight platforming sections more forgiving. • Added 12 new orchestral tracks that dynamically crossfade at dawn and dusk. • Menu text localization corrected for Spanish, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. 3. Bug Fixes • Rare crash in Volcano Thicket when casting Black Flame Tornado. • Multiplayer desync causing host to see phantom attacks during Eldritch Watcher fight. • PC version: memory leak when alt-tabbing with Vulkan API (partially fixed; full fix in 1.01.1). Server Maintenance Schedule (Patch 1.01.1) Bandai Namco will take servers offline Thursday, 05 June, 00:00–03:00 UTC on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. Download size is 320 MB on consoles, 280 MB on PC. How to Update • Steam: restart the client, or right-click Elden Ring > Properties > Updates. • PlayStation/Xbox: highlight the game icon, press Options/Menu, select “Check for Update.” Early Community Reaction Players report smoother parry timing and a noticeable drop in frame pacing hiccups on high-end GPUs after patch 1.01. Dual-wield builds feel “less floaty,” and co-op connection errors have fallen sharply, according to user feedback threads and first-day metrics. What’s Next Patch 1.02 is already in QA. Expect nerfs to three-enemy boss arenas and buffs to Faith incantations. FromSoftware has also hinted at “new rewards for completionists” tied to the cyclical day-night system.
