The 1.02 patch fixes, among other things, frame rate drops under certain conditions. As I highlighted in my review, the PC version does suffer from performance drops in the open-world in version 1.01, so this is a very welcome fix. I had the chance to try out the new update, and it indeed does improve performance. Catch the full Elden Ring 1.02 patch notes below.
