Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.01 is out even if the game isn't – and welcome back FromSoftware, these patch notes don't tell us a darn thing
No matter where you live or play, it's not Elden Ring Nightreign release time just yet, but that hasn't stopped developer FromSoftware from releasing the game's first patch. Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.01 is rolling out ahead of release, and in classic FromSoft form, we barely know anything about what it does.
This is one of those patch note stories where I can very easily share the entire list of contents verbatim:
Improved handling of playable characters
Soundtrack addition and adjustments
Text adjustments
Balance adjustments
Added character scenarios
Bug fixes
Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki recently told us that he and the team have been working on game balance "until the last minute," and the "handling of playable characters" and miscellaneous "balance adjustments" sound like they'd fall under that category.
The text and soundtrack stuff, along with general bug fixes, is more generic still. "This update aims to improve gameplay and stability," the patch notes add. Good news, I suppose.
Ahead of launch, the 1.01 patch notes have also included a small advisory for PC gamers, who will get access a few hours early.
"If issues such as being unable to start the game occur on the PC version, they can sometimes be resolved by performing the following steps in Steam," FromSoftware advises. Just double check "Verify Integrity of Game Files" in your Steam library properties.
Additionally, "we have confirmed that some PC configurations using the latest graphics cards may experience frame rate drops," the patch notes read. "We are currently investigating the cause."
I'm now nervously eyeing my new 5080, which I assume falls under "the latest graphics cards" mentioned here, but thankfully FromSoftware has a possible solution: turn your graphics settings down. Thanks, FromSoftware.
The director of Elden Ring Nightreign has been thinking about this game since Dark Souls 3, and "seeing the scope of Elden Ring" finally made it click in his mind. We've collected all the details in our Elden Ring Nightreign live coverage.

One UI 8 lets you use Samsung DeX on your PC again, but there's a catch
Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR The latest One UI 8 release makes it possible to use Samsung DeX on PCs again, though you'll need a third-party tool called scrcpy to do so. Samsung previously discontinued its 'DeX for PC' application, leaving users without the dedicated desktop interface on their computers. One UI 8's new DeX can run on a virtual display, which allows the open-source scrcpy tool to mirror the full desktop experience to a PC. If you have a compatible Galaxy device, you can use Samsung DeX to get a desktop-like experience on a connected display. You used to be able to use DeX on PCs as well, but Samsung ended support for this with the previous One UI release. Fortunately, the latest One UI 8 release makes it possible to use Samsung DeX on PCs once again, but you'll need to use a third-party tool to do so. Previously, Samsung's 'DeX for PC' app for macOS and Windows let you launch a separate DeX window right on your computer, providing easy access to your Galaxy device's apps and files. Samsung DeX for PC app. Samsung DeX window open on a PC. However, with the launch of One UI 7, Samsung discontinued the app and pushed users toward Microsoft's Phone Link service. While Phone Link is tightly integrated into One UI and can mirror your phone's screen and apps, it lacks the dedicated DeX desktop interface, leaving some users unsatisfied. In One UI 8, Samsung replaced the classic DeX with a new version built on Android's native Desktop Mode. While this new DeX has some shortcomings, it also has a key advantage over the original: it can run on any virtual display. This new capability is exactly what allows us to use DeX on a PC again, regardless of whether it's running macOS, Windows, or Linux. Using an open-source tool called scrcpy, you can mirror a virtual display from your Galaxy device to your computer. This opens a new window on your PC showing the full DeX interface, which you can then control with your keyboard and mouse, share your clipboard, capture audio, and more.

Before we begin, it's important to note that this method only works on Galaxy devices running One UI 8 or later, as older versions do not support showing DeX on virtual displays. It will also not work on Google's Pixel phones, as Android 16's Desktop Mode only activates when a physical external display is connected. If you have a compatible device, follow these steps: Set up ADB on your PC. Set up scrcpy on your PC. Open a command prompt or terminal and run the following command: Code Copy Text scrcpy --new-display=1920x1080/284 Replace '1920×1080/284' with your desired resolution and screen density settings.
