Elden Ring update 1.15 has been available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on October 2, 2024, bringing several bug fixes and performance improvements for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Looming largest among all the corrections are those for the Golem Fist – the weapon was much less effective than intended by the developers due to several bugs affecting it, which even made it deal no damage at all under some circumstances. All of these issues have been solved, so a re-evaluation of the weapon may be in order.

Possible unstable performance fixes

  • 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.
