Elden Ring Nightreign Patch Arrives Early to Support Solo Players, Though Changes Are Minor

Sure thing—here we go:

—

So yeah, Elden Ring Nightreign servers were kinda out of commission for a bit today. But they’re back, you know, after FromSoftware — those guys — did some maintenance work. And get this, they just tossed out a new patch, like a big-ish one. Solo players, it’s your lucky day.

Version 1.01.1 is what we’re calling it. Don’t ask why. Anyway, let’s dive into all the juicy details.

Oh, before I forget: weird cookie notices on some gaming websites. Like, why do I need to know about them at all?

When Nightreign hit the scene, lotta folks were unhappy with how nasty the game was to those going it alone. Sure, it’s meant for groups of three — ‘cause why not force people to socialize, right? But still, solo folks needed a break. Wasn’t fair to be, you know, extra brutal.

So, FromSoftware — they always seem to be listening — said they’d make some changes. Originally planned for patch 1.02, but hey, surprise, it’s here now with 1.01.1.

So, what’s new? If you’re solo, you get a free revival in boss fights. Every single night. Before this, you had to earn it. For co-op, you still gotta work for it. And your rune stash is gonna explode faster — like, who doesn’t love quicker leveling?

Now, for the rest of us — because apparently, we’re not alone in this — there’s more high-end loot when you hit Day 3 in Expeditions. So the final boss won’t feel like such a slog. Scenic Flat stones are being generous too — perfect excuse to visit the Small Jar Bazaar.

There are these pesky bugs and some balance tweaks too. Wings of Salvation now has a less vomit-inducing camera angle, thank goodness. I won’t bore you with everything, but here’s the fix-by-fix:

– Camera doesn’t freak out with the Guardian’s Ultimate.
– Some skills weren’t triggering or displayed weirdly. Fixed — hopefully.
– Raiders had overpowered moves. Oops. Fixed now.
– “Sacred Blade” didn’t always keep enemies dead. Awkward, huh?
– And bleeding — works better now. Good news for all you vampire wannabes.
– List goes on… if you’re curious.

For those on Steam, they patched up graphics if you like playing in potato mode. And climbing issues with both keyboard and gamepad had its hiccups — supposedly smoother now.

Coming back to where we kicked off — or maybe not, I’m roundabout like that — the bug fixing saga isn’t glamorous but necessary. Meanwhile, if you’re hooked on Nightreign, there’s this handy guide you might want to bookmark. It’s got builds, walkthroughs, and our take on all the Nightlords. A real treasure trove.

There it is — raw, messy, and human. Feels right, doesn’t it?
