In the most recent patch notes forElden Ringupdate 1.13,FromSoftwarecovered plenty of small issues and bugs, most of which aren’t utterly game-changing. However, alongside animprovement to Torrent’s summon system, players are now also getting a helpful tip—check your peripherals and your mouse because they could be causing some framerate issues.
On release,Elden Ring: Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC had a couple of small problems, such asa micro-stutterthat had the capacity to wreak absolute havoc. In an effort to try and fix this issue and others that players were reporting,FromSoftware gave a similar solution: “In the PC version, the frame rate may not be stable when playing the game while running a mouse-control related app.” To try and fix this issue, the safest bet would be to stop running the mouse-control-related app, restart Elden Ring, and hope for the best.
“Your game runs poorly on all devices,” one player says inreply to FromSoftware’s advice. From consoles to ultra-high-end PCs, you lack Ultrawide support or DLSS/FSR/XESS—things modders implemented." Others have pointed out that they’re still experiencing issues without any mouse-control apps in the background.
