Elden Ring's PC Issues Might Be Due To An Unexpected Source

From Software’s DLC for Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, has been facing performance issues for PC since it launched last week. It appears that the issues may be due to external mouse-control software that players are using.

The official Japanese From Software Player Support X/Twitter account further explains how this may be the issue that PC players are running into. The issue appears to stem from external mouse-control software they’re using. From Software recommends not using mouse control software to fix the frame rate issue.

Some players have even taken to Reddit to voice their opinions on the matter. One user wrote, “Cerulean Coast in the DLC is especially bad,” regarding frame rate issues. Another user explained that some of the Lion boss’s combos make their game drop to 25fps.

The day-one patch for Shadow of the Erdtree added various new features to the game. These included a new “Recent Items” tab that helped players easily find new items. In addition, players can now ride Torrent in the final boss fight of the base game. More recently, From Software added another patch, which made Shadow of the Erdtree a bit easier for those who may be stuck.

In our Shadow of the Erdtree review, Tamoor Hussain wrote, “Elden Ring was a masterful open-world game that I would describe as generation-defining–it will go down in history as one of the all-time greats. But, when the final blow was struck in the Land of Shadow and my journey came to an end, I couldn’t help but reflect on how it has made me feel and what has stuck with me.”
