About the gigantic success of Elden Ring We have reported extensively in recent weeks. Even in the run-up to the big DLC Shadow of the Earthtree the anticipation of the fan community was immense. And From Software was able, at least according to the current status, to once again meet the expectations of the community.
Not only in our test There was a lot of praise for the expansion. Internationally, the most anticipated DLC of the year was highly appreciated. But some fans were disappointed, far from the quality of Shadow of the Erdtree on the PC faced with performance problems. These probably have a rather bizarre origin.

How does Elden Ring run on PC?
As a technical disaster, Elden Ring (buy now 249,99 € / 32,99 € ) by no means common. However, the website GamesRadar recently highlighted that the performance of the Soulslike adventure has caused problems in the past. With the DLC release, such problems have resurfaced and are likely to have spoiled the mood for some fans.
So what could be the reason? Well, if you believe From Software's words, it's not the graphics settings that need to be tweaked. Instead, the supposed weak point is in a place where we would probably never have suspected it. After all, it's not directly related to the game, at least not at first glance.

Performance issues with Shadow of the Erdtree
“The frame rate may be unstable on the PC version if you have a mouse app running while playing“, says a translated tweet from the support account on Twitter. The account does not say which apps are specifically meant by this.
GamesRadar names G-Hub or Razor software as the most likely examples. In any case, the support account's tip is to close such apps before starting the game. Perhaps then you will be able to duel one or two of the boss enemies. The difficulty level of the expansion is already notorious.
