Surprise Elden Ring Nightreign Update Delivers Key Bug Fixes and a Handy QOL Improvement

Ok, so imagine this—you’re settled into your usual gaming spot, totally unaware that Elden Ring Nightreign is about to throw a curveball at you this week. Yep, surprise update drops, no downtime to mess up your groove. Just one of those “hey, update now or no matchmaking for you” situations. Classic, right?

And here we are at version 1.01.4. Just a small step from 1.01.3, which, if you’re keeping track, rolled out in June. Does this stuff even matter? Honestly, yeah. The tweaks are kind of a big deal for us out there grinding.

Alright, here’s the kicker: you’re gonna notice something new-ish. The weapon type is slapped right onto the Armament Information menu. So, like, if you’re juggling two weapons and one has killer buffs—bam—it’s easy to see what’s what without squinting at tiny icons. It’s a small thing, but these days, I get excited over the minutiae. Who doesn’t?

Now, not to be a downer, but bugs! Good gravy, some of those pests could wreck your run. Imagine your mates join, then ditch you at warp speed—matchmaking might’ve just thrown a tantrum. But no worries, that’s all under control now.

And here’s a fun one: those gestures and achievements? They’re back on the list, baby. Just a small catch—you gotta meet the requirements again. It sounds absurd, but in the chaos of gaming, isn’t that just par for the course?

Oh, and tomorrow, July 3, look out for Sentient Pest Nightlord becoming the next Everdark Sovereign. I mean, sure, whatever that is. All we need is more nightmare-fuel bosses, right? The Nightreign update promises brawls with bossed-up versions of bosses—kinda like bosses squared. Everdark Sovereign Gaping Jaws and Darkdrift Knight are gunning for your SOULS. Quite literally.

Okay, I should probably mention this image of Gnoster—looks like a bug crossed with a toaster and possessing just oodles of charm. Not really, but the plot thickens, no?

Anyway—yeah, update 1.01.4 is loaded with bug fixes, such as…

– Info display for weapon types in Armory.
– Matchmaking tantrums when pals skedaddle.
– Gesture glitches with “It’s Raining!”
– Weird revive-not-defeat bugs with the third-day boss.
– Mood-killin’ BGM glitches during Recluse Remembrance.
– Achievement drama, post-quitting if you’ve magically navigated “Shifting Earth: Crater”.

I swear, delve into our guide for any extra details—it’s like an onion of content, sans tears. Even tossed in some about Revenant Remembrance. Whether you love or loathe patch notes, there’s a nugget of something for everyone.

And that’s the end of my ramble…or wait, was there something else? Nah, that’s it. Happy gaming!
