Elden Ring Mouse Software on PC Can Cause Framerate Issues, FromSoftware Says

Elden Ring mouse software on PC can cause framerate issues, FromSoftware's official support account has confirmed.

This warning comes from the official FromSoftware Player Support account on X (via Dsogaming) following the release of the popular Shadow of the Erdtree expansion last week.

"In the PC version, the frame rate may not be stable when playing the game while running a mouse-control related app", the translated post on X reads. "In that case, please try playing the game after stopping the mouse-control related app."

With open-world fatigue setting in earlier this year due to the many open-world games released in 2024—like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin, and the PC versions of Horizon Forbidden West and Ghost of Tsushima—Shadow of the Erdtree's open-world design stands out as a testament to how the Elden Ring experience still surpasses anything else on the market. As such, I believe a perfect score is justified, even with the evident lack of significant innovation
