Elden Rings PS5 save crashes fixed
Hailed by critics who were able to put their hands ahead of the game, Elden Ring has been tried by millions of players since last Friday. A kind of large-scale test, which revealed some dross. For example, the technical optimization of the title on PC is considered by some to be non-existent while several bugs hit players on PlayStation 5 and it must be recognized that one of them is particularly painful since some have lost up to nine hours of play.. In other words, it was absolutely necessary to go through the configuration menu to ensure that you regained your progress during your next game session.
It is in this sense that Elden Ring announced on Twitter, in the night, the deployment of patch 1.02.2. This update brings bug fixes for the PC version of the title, including one where the graphics card was not used and one where the game stopped unintentionally during the fight once morest the Fire Giant. PlayStation 5 players should be happy to hear that changes have been made to fix the save issue: starting today, those hard-earned hours of gameplay should no longer be wasted.

Salt and frustration, ingredients of From Software’s success
And it’s an understatement to say that it was expected by the players. Reading some feedback from the community on Twitter, many users seem devastated by the loss of their save. For once, it must be recognized that Elden Ring is in line with previous From Software productions: although its open world is exceptional and can give the illusion of an easier title, Elden Ring is also made up of difficult fights and punitive. For the less experienced (a majority of players), defeating a boss often requires dozens of frustrating, demanding and above all annoying attempts.. These can sometimes cause a player to suddenly quit, closing the game and turning off the console suddenly: gestures made in anger, called ragequit. They will no longer be punished thanks to this new patch.
Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that these difficult fights are also the charm of From Software games. What might be more satisfying than defeating an enemy following dozens of tries, following having modified his equipment, his spells or having gone to seek more experience? This is all the more striking as the players do not seem to have given up on the game. At the start of last weekend, only 37% of players had beaten the first compulsory boss of Elden Ring. Today, 60% of players, at least on Steam, have defeated it.
Elden Ring is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and Xbox One since February 25.
