Maintenance is coming to the Elden Ring NIGHTREIGN servers on Tuesday, March 31, to deploy Hotfix 1.03.5. This targeted update focuses on resolving persistent performance bugs that have been affecting the stability of the online experience.
While the Lands Between are usually a place of chaos and shattered order, this scheduled downtime aims to bring some technical stability back to the realm. Following a previous maintenance window on March 26 that focused purely on backend upkeep without adding new content, Hotfix 1.03.5 is a more direct intervention. For players who have been experiencing stuttering or connectivity hiccups during intense boss encounters or PvP sessions, this patch is a welcome fix.
The maintenance is expected to last approximately one hour. You can find the downtime schedule for your region below:
- PDT: 02:00
- CEST: 11:00
- JST: 18:00
As any Tarnished knows, even a minor performance dip can be the difference between a successful parry and a trip back to the Site of Grace. By smoothing out these performance bugs, FromSoftware is ensuring that the difficulty remains tied to the game's design rather than technical friction. If you are planning a long session to hunt for Great Runes or explore hidden legacy dungeons, make sure to plan around this brief window of server downtime. Once the servers are back online, the NIGHTREIGN experience should feel significantly more stable across all platforms.
