Elden Ring: Μόλις κυκλοφόρησε το patch 1.09 που αναβαθμίζει τα γραφικά

Η FromSoftware μόλις έκανε διαθέσιμο το ολοκαίνουργιο Patch 1.09 του Elden Ring για όλες τις πλατφόρμες όπου κυκλοφορεί το παιχνίδι, δηλαδή για τα PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S και PC (Steam).

Ενδεικτικά, η ενημέρωση έχει μέγεθος περίπου 5GB στο PS5 και περίπου 200MB στους ηλεκτρονικούς υπολογιστές. Μεταξύ άλλων περιλαμβάνει πολλές αλλαγές για το balance στις PvP αναμετρήσεις και όχι μόνο, βελτιώνοντας για παράδειγμα όπλα όπως τα Colossal Sword, Great Axe, Hammer, Flail, Great Hammer και Colossal Weapon. Παράλληλα, αλλαγές έχει κάνει η ομάδα ανάπτυξης και σε διάφορα Ashes of War, ενώ και πολλά bugs έχουν διορθωθεί.

Η βασική ατραξιόν του patch 1.09 είναι ωστόσο το ray-tracing. Ναι, η ενημέρωση βελτιώνει τα γραφικά, ενσωματώνοντας την προηγμένη τεχνολογία στις PS5, Xbox Series X και PC εκδόσεις. Σύμφωνα με τα λεγόμενα του modder, Lance McDonald, ο οποίος πρόλαβε να ανεβάσει και μια συγκριτική εικόνα, το Elden Ring έχει πλέον ray-traced ambient occlusion και ray-traced shadows. Δυστυχώς δεν έχουν υλοποιηθεί και αντανακλάσεις με ray-tracing, ενώ συνολικά οι περισσότερες διαφορές φαίνεται πως είναι σχετικά μικρές.

Ακολουθεί το επίσημο changelog που δόθηκε στη δημοσιότητα και εξηγεί αναλυτικά όλες τις αλλαγές.

New feature

Ray Tracing support has been added for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC versions.

Ray Tracing can be activated in the settings menu:

  • PS5 / XSX: Game Options > Ray Tracing
  • PC: Graphics > Ray Tracing Quality

Please note that performance - such as frame rate and resolution - may be impacted while playing with Ray Tracing on.

The minimum and recommended technical specifications to use Ray Tracing can be found at the end of the patch notes.
