Gamers eagerly awaiting the release of Elden Ring Nightreign might face some unexpected hurdles, especially those with the newest graphics cards. The game's developer has flagged potential issues with frame rates.  They have not yet pinpointed the exact cause, but they have some suggestions to help smooth out the experience.

For starters, they recommend tweaking the graphics settings. If you're seeing significant drops in frame rates, try lowering the graphics settings from "High" to "Medium" or even "Low. " Additionally, reducing the screen resolution can make a difference. It's also a good idea to make sure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. These steps might not solve the problem completely, but they could improve your gaming experience until a more permanent fix is found.

The game's developer has also provided some troubleshooting tips for PC users. If you're having trouble launching the game, there are a few steps you can take. Open Steam, go to your library, and find Elden Ring Nightreign. Right-click on it, select "Properties, " then "Installed Files, " and finally, "Verify Integrity of Game Files. " This process can sometimes resolve issues that prevent the game from starting.

Nightreign is set to launch on May 29 or May 30, depending on your time zone. The game is a multiplayer spin-off, focusing on solo and trio experiences. However, there's been a notable oversight: there's no option for a pair of players to join together without a third player. The development team has acknowledged this and is considering it for future updates.

The game's director has explained that the focus was on creating a balanced experience for three players. They did put effort into making the game enjoyable for solo players, but the duo option was overlooked. So, if you're planning to play with just one friend, be prepared to welcome a third player into your game. It might turn out to be a good match, but it's something to keep in mind.

For those diving into Nightreign, it's worth checking out some tips and tricks gathered from the network test. There are plenty of guides and resources available to help you get the most out of the game. Keep an eye on the IGN Nightreign wiki for more information as the game launches.
