Unexpected Elden Ring Nightreign Patch Delivers Key Bug Fixes and a Handy QOL Update

Alright, so here’s the thing. Ever had one of those moments where you think, “Whoa, didn’t see that coming”? That’s kinda how it felt when Elden Ring Nightreign snuck in a new update this week. I mean, no one was waiting around for it. But bam, here it is. Update time, folks. No server downtime, so thank heavens for small mercies, right? Just update if you wanna keep playing with your buddies.

So, this update’s labeled 1.01.4. Seriously, I wonder if they pull these numbers out of a hat. Anyway, the last one was at the tail end of June—incremental? Maybe, but still important for us players.

Quick pause here. Have you ever noticed how some updates sneak in features without anyone making a big deal? Well, this one added a little something to the Armament Information screen—weapon types. You know, just a tiny thing that somehow makes a huge difference. It’s like finally finding that last puzzle piece under the couch.

Now, bugs—oh man, don’t get me started. One had me tearing my hair out: if your teammates popped in and out too quick, matchmaking just died. Annoying, right? But, they’ve fixed it. Phew.

And gestures? There was this mess where you couldn’t get the “It’s Raining!” gesture properly. It’s sorted now, but you’ll have to meet the conditions again to unlock stuff… which is, you know, both frustrating and kinda whatever at this point.

Here’s a juicy tidbit: there’s this behind-the-scenes hoo-ha, referred to something about the Sentient Pest Nightlord. I know, sounds like a metal band, right? But they’re gearing this to loop into the Everdark Sovereign thing. These are like Nightlords 2.0, available for the brave souls who conquered their basic forms. They’ve got these new tricks up their sleeve meant to throw you off. Reminds me of when my dog learned how to open the fridge. Unexpected and chaotic.

Okay, side note: if you’re planning on tackling the Everdark Sovereign Gaping Jaws or Darkdrift Knight, brace yourself—they’ve got new attack patterns. It’s like they’re actively messing with those of us who have their moves memorized.

Before I sidetrack again—where was I? Oh right, anyway, here’s what got fixed: matchmaking bugs, missing gestures, and a weird revival glitch that happened mid-battle. And music problems? Weirdly specific bug, but yes, they fixed that too. You ever just need a good soundtrack while battling foes? Yeah, I get it.

So, there we have it. Can’t believe you read all this—but hey, Elden Ring is a wild ride, and, trust me, there’s always something more to explore. Like a guide I stumbled across on how to navigate the Revenant Remembrance quest. I mean, if you’re diving deep, might as well go all in, right?
