bungle_in_the_jungle,

Sadly for me unless they’re fixing their terrible networking/co op system and adding an option to turn off the insanely annoying invasion system in giving it a pass.

As much as I enjoyed the base game, I don’t think I can put up with that along with having to relearn how to play.

TheOakTree,

The co-op sucks, but I’m pretty certain invasions don’t occur unless you summon somebody.

If you’re adamant about playing co-op without invasions, you have to mod the game, unfortunately.

Jakeroxs,

Seamless co-op is pretty great, dev said he has some fixes and qol stuff planned for the DLC update version

Shadowedcross,

+1 for seamless co-op. Since I first tried it, I swore off the native co-op, it’s honestly in a league of its own.

Jakeroxs,

Same, I’m having a hard time deciding how to play the upcoming dlc, do I just wait till seamless updates? That could take like a month+ or do I bite the bullet and make a vanilla char again to prep…

PrinzKasper,

Sad that they aren’t adding support for ultra wide and more than 60fps. Armored Core supports those things, why not Elden Ring?

LaserTurboShark69,

Yeah this makes me salty. Biggest game of the 2020s and it doesn’t have proper PC settings

Muscar,

Feels very on brand for the AAA game market right now, even though From Software aren’t generally shitty like that.

tomalley8342,

From Software aren’t generally shitty like that.

Dark Souls 1 and 2 had notoriously horrible PC ports, and Elden Ring was one of the only games that Valve stepped in to fix themselves through Proton due to its horrible stuttering. Regardless of their intentions, their familiarity with PC hardware is still definitely a “work in progress”.

Actually From Software is pretty crappy when it comes to this sort of thing.

fushuan,

Because elden ring lags and struggles to keep fps at 60 sometimes with a 3080, why even try to go higher. I’d also saybthay playing ultra wide gives a vision advantage and PvP and invaders being a thing I’d prefer not.

SpacetimeMachine,

I play on a 3080 ultra wide 1440p and I never drop below 70. Unless I turn raytracing on which honestly is not worth it at all.

How do you not drop below 70 in a game with a 60fps cap?

SpacetimeMachine,

Flawless widescreen has an fps uncap option as well as letting the game fully support ultra wide. (The game is fucking stupid and renders in ultra wide anyway and then just puts black bars to force 16:9) You of course have to play without online features because you can’t use anti cheat at the same time.

It doesn’t fuck with the mechanics or anything does it? I tried unlocking Katamari Damacy when I got it on Steam and it worked but also became unplayable 😮‍💨

SpacetimeMachine,

So far I haven’t noticed any mechanics changing, but I might be missing something? It miiiiight mess up stuff like parry timing, but I don’t think it does.

audaxdreik,

This kind of infuriates me. On rare occasions loading into the game (unmodified) it’ll glitch out and forget to render the borders for a good 5 minutes or until first teleport. Like come on! I can see it! I know you’re doing it!

Another game, Code Vein (shut up, I love it, just embrace some trash from time to time) did the same thing. I could tell because the layering was messed up and your partner’s nameplate would render over the black borders by mistake …

Kolanaki,

Aren’t the animations tied to the frame rate?

Aremel,

These are great QOL changes. I wonder why they waited for the DLC to release them instead of doing it with the colluseum update.

    Moghul,

    Isn’t this a free update that comes at the same time as the dlc?

    kromem,

    Probably added after that update.

    The new items stuff in particular seems like QoL considerations for “we just added a hundred items to the game for players coming back to it after months away.”

    Yeah. And consider the verification process games have to go through on consoles, probably easier to do it all in one big update.
