In Elden Ring update 1.12.3, several weapons were nerfed, including the Smithscript Dagger, Smithscript Cirque, Smithscript Axe, Smithscript Greathammer, Smithscript Spear, Smithscript Shield, Golem Fist, Lightning Perfume Bottle, and Frenzyflame Perfume Bottle. Additionally, the Bloodfiend's Arm weapon had its Arcane scaling reduced when setting an affinity.
The throwing attack range for the Smithscript Dagger and Smithscript Cirque weapons in Elden Ring was increased in the Version 1.12.3 update. This change slightly compensates for the overall damage reduction of these weapons, making them more versatile in combat.
The update did not specifically address the Steam Deck bug issue, which makes the game unplayable if left idle for more than five minutes, potentially leading to corrupted data. FromSoftware has not yet mentioned this bug in their patch notes.
