ELDEN RING SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE EASIER WITH THE NEW PATCH: WHAT CHANGES?
From Software has released Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree update 1.12.2 which fixes some issues in the game.
FormSoftware has published update 1.12.2 of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree which essentially does two things: it slightly simplifies the DLC by modifying some elements of the progression and tries to improve the performance of the PC version, the most penalized from this point of view , fixing a bug related to ray tracing.
In short, there have been some changes to the game balance and work has started on the bugs. Unfortunately there is no good news for Steam Deck owners , as there is no mention of the bug that makes Shadow of the Erdtree unplayable if you keep the console idle for more than five minutes. However, it has already been promised that future patches will fix more bugs and further change some balances, so we must remain hopeful.
The new update of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree acts on the difficulty of the game by modifying the balance of the blessings of the Shadow Kingdom : now the first half of the maximum enhancement offers a boost to the attack and defense of our Senzaluce, with the second half characterized instead by a more balanced progression. With the latest patch, there will be more significant improvements to attack and defense once the last level of blessings has been reached. Basically, therefore, patch 1.12.2 makes the blessings of the Shadow Kingdom more impactful, effectively rebalancing the general difficulty while still maintaining it consistent and stimulating.
