Elden Ring Patch 1.16 Fixes Stat Boost Bug and PC Performance Issues

Elden Ring patch 1.16 patches a persistent stat boost bug and addresses PC performance issues related to ray tracing and mouse software.

Elden Ring patch 1.16 updates the game to App Ver. 1.16 and Regulation Ver. 1.16. Online play requires this update.

Stat Boost Glitch Fixed

The update fixes an issue where temporary boosts to player stats remained active even after closing and restarting the game. Several other general bug fixes are also included.

PC Performance and Ray Tracing Fixes

Unintentional ray tracing activation can cause unstable performance on PC. Players can check this setting under System, Graphics, and Ray Tracing Quality in the title screen or in-game menu. Unstable framerates on PC may also stem from third-party applications controlling mouse behavior, which can be fixed by deactivating those programs.

False Anti-Cheat Warnings

The PC version may display an inappropriate activity detected message without cheating occurring. Players encountering this warning should verify the integrity of their game files before restarting.

Why this patch matters

Patch 1.16 resolves a stat persistence bug and gives PC players troubleshooting steps for performance hiccups and false anti-cheat flags.
