Final Thoughts

Update 1.09.0 is a solid, conservative patch focused on balance, stability, and fixing annoyance-worthy bugs. It nudges the meta toward more diverse playstyles without overhauling core systems—meaning most players will adapt quickly but may find their favorite extreme builds tempered.

3. Bug Fixes and Quality of Life

The patch fixed several progression-blocking bugs. Launch the game

  • Fixed a bug where the "Grafted Blade Greatsword" skill could crash the game or prevent trophy acquisition.
  • Fixed a bug where the "Moonveil" skill did not receive the correct damage scaling in PvP.
  • Various AI behavior fixes for NPCs.

2. Official Changes (From 1.08.0 → 1.09.0)

🆚 1.08 vs 1.09 performance

  • Same FPS in most areas.
  • Slight stutter reduction on some GPUs (Nvidia 30/40 series reported).
  • No change to ray tracing stability (still experimental).

⚠️ Important for Elamigos users

  1. Previous patch required – must have 1.08.0 Elamigos (not 1.07 or older).
  2. Save compatibility – works fine, but back up ER0000.sl2 just in case.
  3. Crack remains – Elamigos uses their own crack (usually Goldberg or Mr_Goldberg), no need to re-apply.
  4. Language packs – if you deleted non-English voices, patch might complain; ignore or re-add.
