With one hand FromSoftware giveth (a goat-horse in a extra opportune location, as an example) and with the opposite it taketh away; Elden Ring‘s newly launched 1.12 replace has launched a bug that may break issues on Steam Deck – however FromSoftware says it is investigating.

As detailed on the developer’s social media feed, leaving Elden Ring inactive for too lengthy on Steam Deck renders the sport unplayable in some cases – one thing you may in all probability need to be conscious of if you could wander away and punch one thing, or have slightly cry.

“A Steam Deck associated challenge has been recognized and a hotfix is being labored on,” the studio wrote on X. “Leaving your Steam Deck inactive for greater than 5 minutes could cease the sport from accepting inputs. We apologise for inconvenience.” For what it is value, I left Elden Ring operating for a number of five-minute home windows within the pursuits of Science and had no drawback resuming every time – so it is potential this is not an particularly widespread challenge.

As for when a repair is probably going, that is at present unclear, with FromSoftware solely saying, “The date and time of the hotfix will likely be introduced individually.” Replies to the developer’s submit additionally embrace a number of stories of Steam Deck customers being blocked from enjoying on-line after receiving the message, “Inappropriate exercise detected”. FromSoftware is but to acknowledge these stories, however hopefully involved participant can have extra information quickly.

In different Elden Ring information, its vastly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree growth is at present roughly 23 minute away from releasing. I am now going to shut my laptop computer, sit on the couch, and stare at Steam till it arrives. Goodbye!
