With the release of the Elden Ring DLC expansion Shadow of the Erdtree, there have been many reports of performance issues with the game. Many players have reported issues with freezing. According to reports, these freezing issues can occur randomly. And it seems that mouse control software can potentially hinder the game’s performance. At least, that’s what the official FromSoftware support account claims.
PC gamers experiencing framerate stuttering and using mouse control software should stop using it, FromSoftware said. If you are suffering from such problems, it is worth closing it and retesting the game.
Just in case, it’s worth looking at what other programs are running in the background and turning off anything that might be interfering with input or suddenly consuming a lot of resources.
