Unexpected Elden Ring Nightreign Update Delivers Key Bug Fixes and a Handy Quality-of-Life Improvement

Weird how things just pop out of nowhere, huh? One minute you’re sipping coffee, next you hear about an update for Elden Ring Nightreign. Didn’t see it coming this week, but hey, here we are. No downtime, which is handy, unless you’re like me and thought, “Wait, do I need to restart my game?” Nope, just grab the update and you’re set to keep brawling with your virtual pals.

So, 1.01.4 rolled in, creeping quietly after its predecessor, 1.01.3, which I think happened sometime in late June. Vague memories, honestly. But listen, even if it’s small, it’s gonna matter to folks diving headfirst into the gameplay. Now, there aren’t earth-shattering changes here, but one tweak caught my eye. Weapon types’ll now grace the Armament Info screen. Sounds minor? Sure. But when you’ve got a bagful of gear, a little instant ID badge helps, especially when you’re deciding who gets to stay in your arsenal.

Now, this update’s like a helper elf, swooping in to dust away bugs. Some could’ve been real party poopers, like if your match-making went berserk just ‘cause two folks bounced simultaneously. It’s like, “Game, calm down, it’s just a timeout, not a meltdown!” That fix is a lifesaver. Also, gestures? Achievements? Yeah, gotta work for ’em again. Happens.

So, side note: there’s this behind-the-scenes stuff setting up for this whole Sentient Pest Nightlord drama. Seems like big kahunas called Everdark Sovereigns are coming. It’s like leveling up your villains, right? If you’ve got the chops to handle their earlier versions, you’re in for a spicy challenge. They’re not just bigger and badder; they’ve got tricks up their sleeves, just when you thought you had them pegged.

Oh, and if visuals help paint this wild ride for you: there’s a pic floating around of Gnoster the Sentient Pest. Looks intense, don’t you think? Anyway, there’s a ton more in the full change log if you’re curious.

I feel like I’m rambling now, but hey, if you’ve chunked through all this, check out the guide for good measure. They’ve got bits about quests, maps, and more walkthroughs—juicy details to chew on if Nightreign’s your current rabbit hole.
