Elden Ring received a small update, adjusting PvP equipment, skills, and spells, as well as fixing a few minor bugs.

"The default selection position for the OK/CANCEL prompt that appears when using the 'Spectral Steed Whistle' while the Spectral Steed is dead has been changed," the patch notes state. "The default selection position is now OK. Prior to this, if Torrent was hit repeatedly and died in combat, instead of being able to immediately replace it with a flask, it had to go through a process similar to terminating any number of subscriptions: terminate subscription? Yes. Is that all right with you? YES. Yes!

OK, maybe it's not that bad, but I'm not like other streamers who can handle two Eldenring DLC rathbone fights at the same time. So when faced with the prompt to get on the "torrent" in the middle of a fight and have to run away from an attack that comes at you a few seconds later, it can be hard to deal with.

Before this patch was applied, "Cancel" was selected by default, and it was common to inadvertently rebuff the request to return Torrent to the fight and be left behind like a confused duck as the eldritch horrors rushed forward.

Patch 1.13 may not be as impressive as the previous update, which allowed players to fight Eldenbeasts on Torrents, but players seem as excited as I am about this small but helpful change.

"Yes! We all wanted this," one player said in a Reddit thread. A few noted that the muscle memory of having to switch selects to "Ok" might work against them, but most seemed to agree that at least the process of getting the Torrent back would be streamlined.

Others are also excited that the change is recorded under bug fixes: "It's the part that gets me," says one player, "as if they needed actual proof that the developers were trolling all along. This is by no means concrete proof that FromSoftware played a little prank on all of us, but after so much time and countless false click deaths, it's hilarious that this choice was apparently just a bug all along. All that remains is for FromSoftware to display this message after using the Stonesword Key and preventing the selection of anything else.
