This morning Bandi Namco announced on there website a new patch for new Elden Ring DLC Shadow Of the Erdtree. A link to the website and announcement can be found here.
The Patch addresses a number of things from PVP adjustments and general balancing but mostly seems built around bug fixes which a large number of players have been complaining about.
Included in the balancing adjustments are Increases to Intelligence scaling of the Carian Sorcery Sword while decreasing the base damage, extending the throwing attack range for the Smithscript Dagger and changing the placement of the bosses in the refight against the golden Hippopotamus and Commander Gaius bosses.
The list of bug fixes is very long. Highlights include fixing a bug that caused enemies to heal when the Max HP reduction gradual HP reduction(there words not mine but I think there getting at a particular boss people have been having issues with),fixing a bug that caused affinities to be higher for whole host of weapons, and a bug where the unblockable bite attack of the Golden Hippopotamus with connect much easier then intended

Possible unstable performance fixes
- For the PS5 version of the game, unstable framerate may be improved by using the “Rebuild Database” option from the device’s safe mode.
- In some PC versions, Ray Tracing may be unintentionally enabled and cause unstable performance. Please check the Ray Tracing setting in the “System” > “Graphics Settings” > “Raytracing 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.
