In addition to the regular patch notes, the following information about ray tracing was given:

Under certain circumstances, ray tracing has been enabled by default after updating the game to version 1.09.

• If Ray Tracing has been unintentionally enabled and is impacting your game, you can disable it from the title menu or in-game by going to System â†’ Graphics â†’ Set Ray Tracing Quality to OFF.
• If your game does not start properly or becomes unstable when Ray Tracing Quality is set to Low/Medium/High/Maximum, please consider the following options:
  • Check the minimum/recommended operating environment of your PC when using Ray Tracing, available here: Elden Ring – Patch Notes Version 1.09.
  • Ensure that your graphics card drivers are updated to the latest version.

And that’s about it for Patch 1.09.1. A relatively minor patch that just fixed up a few small bugs and clarified some concerns about ray-tracing. It was released on April 18th, 2023, less than a month after Patch 1.09 on March 23rd.
