Ahead of the launch of Elden Ring Nightreign, Bandai Namco has released the Elden Ring Nightreign 1.01 patch notes (even if the game isn't out yet). While the patch doesn't actually give away too much about the game, outside of vague descriptions like "Balance adjustments" and "Bug fixes," it does feature a harrowing warning for FromSoftware fans on PC.

"We have confirmed that some PC configurations using the latest graphics cards may experience frame rate drops." the patch notes page says, adding "In the meantime, If you experience significant frame rate drops, you may be able to resolve it by setting the graphics settings from the default 'High' to 'Medium' or 'Low' and lowering the screen resolution, as well as installing the latest drivers for your graphics card." The publisher also assures "We are currently investigating the cause."
