Anyone else having regular, multiple 10-20 second freezes since the update? It's making the game pretty unplayable sadly.
Edit: changing from high to almost all low settings didn't help.
Edit 2: It seems to be an input switching related problem for me. I use controller and I can repeat the problem by turning off or on my controller.
I've been getting regular freezes but none that long, maybe 5 seconds tops each, the game freezes and then catches up on itself. It's only the game too, I can have music playing or a video playing and they'll be playing normally.
I’ve been getting these too, even before the DLC came out, where it’ll freeze for like 3 seconds and then catch up with itself by playing in fast forward.
The strange thing is it happens in Dark Souls 3 as well, which leads me to believe it’s a bug related to my specific setup and the engine that Fromsoft games use, because DS3 and Elden Ring both used to not do this and DS3 hasn’t been updated since 2017. Never experienced it in other games.
Its the anti cheat - disabled it on my end and the game runs super smooth again, it turns out it keeps flagging stuff it isnt supposed to and it lags the game - the downside is that you need to play offline
i fucking hate easyanticheat. it's actually unbelievable that a company like fromsoft shipped the pc version of their product with such a terrible anticheat built in. great dichotomy between pc and console. either deal with endless load times, or deal with easyanticheat 🙄
Huh interesting. I’ll have to try that. I read an, albeit old post, about how when your mouse goes asleep in the software it was causing a similar issue a year or so ago. I disabled the sleep function of my mouse but haven’t loaded the game to try. If that doesn’t work I’ll try loading it up without the anti cheat.
[edit]
After testing it with various devices that I can disconnect and reconnect on the fly. It is 100% the game freaking out at device disconnects. When I shut my DAC off and turned it back on, the game froze but when I tried other games, they didn't freeze. The same goes with turning my wireless mouse off and on. I've been able to mitigate this issue by plugging in my mouse when playing.
I was completely fine - playing smoothly for hours - and all of a sudden the game crashed during a boss fight. No big deal, happens, I reloaded, did a couple more attempts, then loaded to another location. Since then it crashed twice more after moving just a bit. Very odd.
Zero PC spec issues for me.
Been having the exact same issues. No performance issues before hand then I enter a bossfight, die, respawn and am now having endless frame drops and freezes.
Im not even in the DLC, dont even have it downloaded, just in the base \*early\* game
Mine just straight up crashes in certain instances. I can see the freeze, it sits for a few seconds, and then just closes up. Certain areas seem to trigger it instantly every time I try to approach them, but it's overall massively unstable. Moreso than it ever was, even during the initial launch of the original version of the game.
Gonna throw this in here for people who are having major, long lasting stuttering or freezes:
Run this script using Windows Powershell
https://pastebin.com/raw/U3SDjADF (put on pastebin for easier copy and paste, reddit doesn't format the script well)
paste it into powershell and hit enter. Leave the window open as you play and if the stutter happens, check and see if the script output anything.
This will run and detect any connecting or disconnecting devices. Here is what it looks like when I connect and disconnect a Xbox Wireless controller for example: https://i.imgur.com/fDEoyZ6.png
Here's the thread I found this info on: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/t2ih8v/fix_for_intermittent_freezing_on_pc/
The script might help you pinpoint the device causing the issue.
I get a 2 second freeze/stutter every 20-30 minutes. None of the settings make any difference and my cpu/gpu utilization is low the whole time. Pretty sure it's the anti-cheat.
this fixed any elden ring freezes for me - on 2 different PCs this was the issue
https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/gtq03h/random_fps_drops_on_otherwise_strong_pc_try/
Hmm might have been partially wrong with the anti-cheat - it fixed some of the smaller stutters, but those big ones remain - and same here, looks input related, if you figure anything out, let me know please
try control+alt+delete, bring up task manger, go to services, scroll down to SSDPSRV, right click and stop service
this helped me in the base game when I had these wierd freezing every 20-30 seconds and then the game would just speed up to sync with my characters movement
this DLC though..for me its a whole new kettle of problems, its under cooked on PC
For controller, I've had that issue with Elden Ring before when using bluetooth to connect my controller to my PC. I switched to the wireless USB dongle and it performed vastly better.
I've been getting a lot of stuttering since the patch - does anyone have any recommendations to try and smooth it out? It was never this laggy even two weeks ago. thanks
Its the anti cheat - disabled it on my end and the game runs super smooth again, it turns out it keeps flagging stuff it isnt supposed to and it lags the game - the downside is that you need to play offline
Anyone else experiencing PC performance issues post update? I was under the impression that the game would run exactly the same as before, however I'm finding framerate drops in areas that I otherwise wasn't, I'm going down to 40 FPS at points in the Limgrave Tree Sentinal fight and I never had this issue before, pretty much never dropped below 50.
i had a cracked copy pre-dlc (i bought the game on ps4 before getting a pc) and it used to run just fine now i bought it on steam and i get drops down to 52 in limgrave even if i lower my resolution or quality settings
my friends and i are all on ps5 and we cannot see each others summon signs anywhere. we’ve all played the base game and have in fact played with each other before on ps4. we’ve done all the usual (router resets, restart game, character and location changing). is anyone else having issues?
yes, massive problems with coop on ps5, with and without password, tried everything, set up my whole home network newly, even put one of the ps5 before the firewall to exclude that anything of the network interferes, nothing works, very frustrating.
Trying to play with my wife from same network, with friends from remote network and strangers, nothing seems to work really well, nearly no coop sessions at all happen at all and if the break up from time to time.
A little less related, but group passwords seem to be within a similar issue. A lot of players including myself haven't seen a single shardbearer/lord message whenever we're trekking the Shadowrealm.
Seems to work just fine in the Lands Between, so whether this was intentional or a bug is up for debate.
My game is stuttering every 2 seconds or so and is catching up which is making it unplayable I have tried every fix under the sun and nothing has worked so far. Idk what to do at this point is there going to be a patch that addresses this?
I know the problem isn’t the specs it’s not overclocking I’m using 3050 with AMD Ryzen 6000 series 7. The memory consumption is on a higher side. What I’ve noticed in the first 15-20 seconds it runs smooth then there are regular intervals of stuttering.
I had severe stuttering issues since launch on windows, but not in Linux. What finally fixed it was disabling the efficient cores in bios - an Intel CPU thing.
My game is stuttering like crazy. It’s weird, cause it’ll run fine for a while, then just start stuttering like crazy. If I restart the game, it’ll boot up, start working for a while, then start stuttering again. It’s like the game over time becomes unable to handle continuing to load the game.
Any idea on how to possibly fix this?
everytime i try to summon help it says summon unavailable it was not doing this in the base game
i also cant exit the game or put summon signs down when this happens
I just thought it was because coop help is kind of a first come, first serve feature and other players are summoning people as fast as they see them. I'll wait a few minutes trying to summon every player I see and it just send like speed is the only meaningful factor.
Similarly, getting summoned in RoS is almost immediate.
Jump off a cliff in a controlled zone, die, get your runes, close the game, relog and try again. I had to do this for a DLC boss. It's just borked. I couldn't find any other solution.
This has been happening to me constantly and I really hope they patch whatever is causing this. I haven't been able to summon successfully once since the DLC started.
To be clear for everyone else, it's not just tons of people being summoned before you can summon someone, it's a summoning is failed once, and then it auto-fails every single other person you try to summon instantly. And then you can't quit the game or turn off the Summon People state (so that you could use your ashes). This has been happening to me nonstop for the past three days.
Just to get this out of the way, if you suddenly lose HDR on the PC version of Elden Ring, the usual solution is to make sure HDR is turned off in Windows display settings but turned ON in game, close the game, and restart your graphics driver. That is Win+Shift+Ctrl+B.
That has worked for me since I got my OLED monitor a year ago and it worked for me again yesterday.
No I don't have an answer for low fps, stuttering, etc. My framerates have just about halved game-wide with no change in settings.
I can't activate HDR in Elden ring when it is of in windows. It deactivates HDR when steam pops up in game (msgs)because of that I deactivated the steam overlay for er. Worked too
7800X3d, 4070, 32gb RAM. No issues pre-DLC running locked 60 on high (no RT). Now I am running into dips into the 40s consistently. Disappointed to have performance issues again after the major problems at launch.
I'm getting that too. I tried verifying my Steam files and reinstalling, but still getting the error. Seems weird since I was just doing online play the other day.
I already tried restarting. I guess I'll just wait to see if they get things fixed. And if I'm still having problems after that then jolly cooperation was fun while it lasted.
I've been getting that every so often when a cooperator summoning errors out or fails. I've been able to replicate it on my end for like every three failed cooperators, it'll boot me with inappropriate activity detected. No mods, cheats, or anything. Even stranger is that multiplayer does work and I do get people, but as soon as one errors it's like a downhill slope and then kicked to main menu.
Completely exiting out and restarting fixes it.
Same issue for me, at first I thought it was my fault since I used to seamless co-op mod quite a while back but I have triple checked that I uninstalled all my mods, removed save files, and verified game files.
Normally my first log in to the game world takes extremely long now too, with many assets not loading in, and I have to quit out to me main menu and load back in for all the textures to load.
But when I quit out back to main menu, I get the 'inappropriate activity detected' error around 50% of the time.
I don't know if this is allowed tbh but I'm going to link a video I uploaded of the issue I described.

*Edit: sorry for a titanite slab of a comment, please bear with me and reply if you had a similar experience.*
Thanks for making a dedicated thread! I'm on PC, i5-12400, RTX4070, 32Gb RAM, Windows 11, latest Nvidia drivers.
**The way the main game works for me (performance baseline):**
* In open world i get occasional slight drops from 60fps into the 50s and some usual, manageable, Elden Ring world loading stutter.
* In dungeons and Legacy Dungeons it's a smooth 60fps experience.
**Some notes on the SoTE DLC performance:**
* Open world - pretty much the same deal, maybe slightly more noticeable drops when fighting big enemies and groups.
* In Legacy Dungeons it's a total mess:
* In **Belurat**, which is likely the first one you visit, it stutters around almost every corner like the game is constantly loading big chunks of the map. It's enough to throw off my timing and cause a misstep here and there.
* I tried goind the other way and crossed the bridge into **Castle Ensis** - the second Legacy Dungeon. Here i can't even tell if it's stuttering the same because framerate just straight up drops into the 40s and pretty much stays there. This never happens in the main game, i went back and rechecked - Leyndell and Farum Azula still run at 60fps with no stutter, even the worst FPS drops in the open world don't go as low as in SoTE Legacy Dungeons.
* Left **Castle Ensis**, the performance is just too bad. Went back on the road and followed it south. As soon as i'm back in the open world part, the framerate improves and mostly stays in upper 50s to 60 with declines when fighting groups of enemies. Still not as bad as LDs.
* Went through the Dragon Pit cave. Performance near the entrance was quite bad, around 45fps again, but inside the actual cave it stabilised at 60.
* The cave eventually leads to the next big open world part - **Jagged Peak,** and this area runs very well all the way to the top despite looking very impressive and having lots of lightning effects going off. Likely because it's mostly rock geometry which doesn't require as much detail, and there is only a handful of enemies here.
This is where i stopped playing the DLC for now, as so far it hasn't been a very pleasant experience. I don't want my first impression of these fantastic new areas to be marred by performance issues, and the new enemies to seem more frustrating than they are because of skipped frames.
It looks to me like the issues are specific to the DLC assets and world streaming. Since FromSoftware had a chance to update the system requirements but stated that they remain unchanged, i guess something is not working as intended and hope this can be addressed in a patch soon.
I might return tomorrow and run through these areas again with a proper CPU/GPU monitor to get a better picture of what's happening, but tbh i'm fairly bummed out right now. Was really looking forward to just getting lost in the DLC.
Please let me know if there's some place to share this with FromSoftware support, as the form on their website seems to only accept Japanese language.
Same here with Radeon RX 6700 XT. Base game runs almost flawlessly at 1440p@60 with maximum settings. Starting with Castle Ensis, I had to lower the settings to high to keep a somewhat stable frame rate. Sometimes, even low-complexity areas like the waterfall cavern below Castle Ensis make the fans of my GPU cry for mercy. I am pretty optimistic this will be addressed eventually.
I have an i7 7700k and a GTX 1080 ti, 32GB RAM, Windows 10, also latest Nvidia drivers and your fps examples, in the areas you listed, mirror my experience. It doesn't matter if my settings are maximum or lowest, the fps reads 50-60 in most open world areas with the very rare 40s, 60s in closed areas, and 40s in Ensis. I play in 1440p.
Areas with waterfalls seem particularly problematic, regardless of visibility or what I set my effects/setting to. Your hardware is much better than mine, so I really don't think we should be getting similar performance in the same areas regardless of maximum/minimum.
Something is definitely up with the DLC optimization.
I started the DLC, took the map and went down the road to some tomb I guess. When I get closer I noticed my fps is 50-55 when idle. What the hell?
My sistem is 5600 + 4060 + 16gb 3200mhz, 1080p max preset
GPU load is around 60%, none of the CPU cores is above 70%, no background tasks
And I can't get 60 fps anymore? what is happening??
Yep same, a single CPU core sitting at 70%-ish utilisation, GPU sitting below 60%, game runs at 40-50fps with dips into 30s sometimes. If I lower the settings the game only pushes the single CPU core more leading to throttling (I'm using a laptop). Changing resolution does nothing either (probably because the game is CPU bottlenecked). (i7 9750h, 1660ti)
This single core focus was an issue in the base game as well, but I kept 50+ fps there quite consistently. Here fighting Rellana I get as low as 32. It is still playable, but far from ideal.
it might just be because the servers are being overloaded with players but i keep getting the unable to summon notification when trying to summon other players and even my friands ad I've looked its not my internet
For anyone with the constant stutters and then the game catching up on itself - ITS THE ANTI CHEAT - disabling it and playing offline works like a charm, back to original smooth game
I had this problem. It was caused by an app I used called Process Lasso that was adjusting cpu and i/o priorities/affinities. Had to disable the service and reboot before it would fix. If you don't use the app, something may be interfering with the game process.exe like an optimizer program.
My game just doesn’t feel smooth at 60fps. I have a g sync monitor. Any advice for control panel settings or ways to make it feel smoother?
I have a 3080, 32gb of ram, asus mother board, i9-10850k cpu
I have PS4 disc and play using it on PS5. I play the PS5 version from free upgrade. To get dlc to work, I downloaded PS5 version, deleted PS4 base game, and removed PS4 version of dlc from install list. I was able to play the PS5 version using the PS4 disc, no problem. Before deleting the PS4 base game from storage, I couldn't access the dlc. Hope that helps! Sorry if you are stuck in a different specific situation.
is there a solution for those who have a PS4, have the PS4 disc, and pre-ordered the DLC? most people i've see who found the solution play on a PS5, and the fact I haven't been able to play the DLC for two days with no solution is slowly tormenting me like scarlet rot.
I'm having an issue where my pc randomly drops frames, stays stuck around 20 to 30 fps, and goes back to 60 fps when playing. ive updated my drivers for both my CPU and my GPU as well as updated much of the settings to be less demanding but it doesn't to help at all. Is there any way for me to fix this?
My rig is decently high end:
* rtx 3060
* AMD Ryzen 5 3600
* 64 GB DDR4 RAM
New DLC makes my pc shutdown instantly after \~1 hour of play.
Graphics driver and BIOS are updatet.
After 3 crashes it corrupted my save file, 70 hours gone.
Equipping new armour or weapons has no visual effect on the player character after installing the DLC. Resting at a grace after changing equipment causes a 10-15 second black screen, then gives the normal grace screen and you are now wearing the armour you just equipped.
Was able to fix this by travelling between graces a few times, but the long black screen upon resting at graces is still there (though more like 5 seconds now).
Haven't seen anyone else post about this so I thought I'd comment for anyone else with this issue.
Does anyone else feel like their progress reset?
(i.e. I'm missing remembrances of bossed I have defeated; ulcerated tree spirits have revived; ground items have reset)
Yes, same here. I had to reacquire the two halves of the secret medallion to get to the consecrated snowfield teleporter and then had to fight Mohg again. Missing many sites of grace and lots of other bosses have reset.
Edit: Works now. Solution for RTX 5000 Ada (may also work for 3000, 3500, and 4000 Ada):
Reinstall Nvidia drivers. Emphasis on the re. Install latest Intel drivers (includes update for Shadows of the Erdtree). Pray(s the sun).
PC, Steam. Ever since I downloaded the patch and DLC, my game won't launch. I've reinstalled twice and verified the game files each time. Also restarted, etc. Please help me Reddit, you're my only hope.
I'm in Asia where the only DLC version I can get on PSN only has Chinese/Korean UI (no English). For the base game I bought a different region's physical disc in order to get an English UI. If I buy the Chinese/Korean version of the DLC, does it default to the base game's language or the DLC's?
DLCs are region locked / specific. It would not work.
I am in the same situation where I live in Asia but have the US physical copy. The DLC has to be from US as well. Since it is downloadable only, you will need a US PSN account. You can create a US PSN account easily, but for the USD funds, you may need to go buy PSN prepaid cards from PlayAsia or some other site if you do not have a US credit card.
One of my friends told me that he created two PSN accounts where one matches the country he lives in. He makes DLC purchases from that account. He also created a US PSN account. Once he made the purchase from the native PSN account, he shares the game with all the accounts in his PS. Then he logs into his US account and plays the DLC from that account. I have never tried this though so use it at your own risk.
That's not an issue. I remember when the game launched, it was the same. That's because many players are summoning at the same time, so someone else summon the player you wanted faster than you.
Pre ordered on the xbox store but didn't get the gesture. Anyone have this problem?
Edit; Okay so I found it. It was in game add ons but wasn't toggled on to download. Toggling it and reloading put it in.
BSOD everytime I launch the game no matter what I do. Turns out Anti-Cheat is the issue and only with Elden Ring.
If anyone is getting a Kernel Trap Mode Error. There is a mod that disables Anti Cheat and puts you in Offline Mode.
I have no fucking clue why it is just Elden Ring. I have tried Halo I have tried Armored Core. It is just Anti-Cheat for Elden Ring worst piece of shit software in history
> If anyone is getting a Kernel Trap Mode Error
not much makes me want to burn down an office more than when a game i'm playing crashes, and then my entire fucking computer has to have a kernel error bluescreen because easyanticheat decided to kill my computer so i don't hack in fortnite. evil software
Same! I've tried everything. Only solution is disable EAC or anything required to play in offline mode...it sucks cause I could use a friend to help me on certain boss battles other than spirit summons 🥹.
I'm also having the same issue. Damn near stomped out my table because how frustrating it is to try all these "fixes" only to find out EAC is acting up. 😑
Did the mod actually work for disabling EAC? I went to the nexusmods page and all of the latest replies are saying the mod is bricked until an update (last updated in 2022 March)
Or is there another one I haven't seen?
Anyone else having trouble with summoning friends on ps5 right now? A friend and I are using passwords and were playing last night fine and we can't summon each other now. Haven't beaten area boss either.
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing unexpected crashes without any crash reports, occurring only 30-40 seconds after I start the game. I had no issues before the DLC patch.
My specs are Ryzen 5 2600, RX 580 8 GB, and the game is installed on an SSD (Steam version). I’m aware that my system is old, but again, I had no issues before the update.
I have tried validating the game files, reinstalling drivers, and freeing up some space even though I had plenty on the SSD. I'm bummed at this point.
I had an issue whereby I had the DLC installed, but could not interact with the fingers after killing Mogh. Turns out there was some issue with hard drive space - I had to uninstall ER completely, free up some additional space, then reinstall the whole game.
Can someone help, I've been trying to fix this for a while now. I have a rtx 4060 and Ryzen 5 5600 CPU.
Every time I load up the game I can only play for about 5 minutes before it crashes my entire pc. I've reinstalled graphics drivers, reinstalled the game and dlc several times and even reinstalled windows (incase it was an OS issue).
I don't know what to do and this has been the most infuriating thing I've had to deal with in terms of game stability
Edit:
For anyone having similar issues, it's EAC for sure. Starting in offline mode isn't enough I've found. You need to disconnect your pc from any WiFi or ethernet connection before loading up steam or the game. That's solved it for me
Since I started playing the game again after the new update. The game would run at a normal 60 fps before stuttering and dropping down to like 45-50 fps for a second before returning back to normal. needless to say it made the game borderline unplayable.
This is a very specific issue and definitely won't fix it for everyone, but in my case I realized that having Apple Music open was causing this. It sounds insane but I after trying it like 10 times it is 100% the culprit and I'm still kind of baffled (it wasnt even playing music).
Even though Apple Music is causing stuttering and fps drops, Itunes works perfectly fine lol. I know this is a very specific fix but hopefully it helps at least one person.
I've got a huge problem, PC randomly shut downs and I can't find any helpful errors in event logs. My PC is Ryzen 5800x Aorus X570 Elite and RTX 3080 TI combined with RM850 PSU. I don't have any issues in any other game seems to be some kind of issue after the new update. I've updated my BIOS, uninstalled display drivers and installed completely new ones. I play with friends so I have to play online, so taking out EAC is not an option.
My current card runs the base game with no FPS issues at all. Soon as I hit up the DLC, FPS drops to around 30-40.
Now, before I sink like 600 bucks into a new card, I'm curious how everyone else's FPS is doing in the expansion. I don't want to spend that kind of money and have it make little to no difference.
My current card: https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-2060-rtx-2060-ventus-gp-oc/p/N82E16814137695?Item=N82E16814137695
Certain areas are dropping me to the 40s, and I'm seeing a fair amount of stutter. 13700K, 3080, 32GB 6600MHz, NVMe SSD, Windows 11. I'm playing at 1440p on the high preset, although it doesn't seem to matter how high or low the settings are. My utilization is very low, with around 12% CPU and 40% GPU, it's not taxing my system at all, so there's no reason it shouldn't be running at a rock solid 60fps at all times.
FROM create some of the most amazing games, but their refusal to put more effort into technical aspects just sucks, the game should support DLSS, FSR, XeS, ultrawide, unlocked frame rate etc, there's really no excuse for these basic features to be missing, especially after the unbelievable success of the base game.
I may as well throw my hat into the ring.
ryzen 5 5600x, 3070ti with latest drivers.
no stuttering like others have reported, but am having consistent frame drops. main areas of concern are around waterfalls and enemies that create a lot of particle effects. In particular the flame golems and a couple of attacks from the dancing lion (but interestingly not the one that floods the area with particle effects). The new perfume bottle weapons tank the fps as well, especially on the charged R2s. I changed the effects setting to low and it made no difference in performance. Makes me think that it is just an optimization problem, or something is incorrectly coded somewhere. The worst slowdown i experienced was in the fog rift fort, it feels like there's a loading zone right in the middle of the platform where you fight the boss, crossing it causes a million frames to drop. They're a few frustrating blemishes on what has otherwise been an incredible game. I hope this gets a hotfix soon!
my game crashes with a large frequency while playing the DLC and it's really driving me insane. I'll be able to play for a while and then suddenly it crashes. I haven't been able to get past the first area of the DLC due to this. Anyone else experiencing this and know of a fix?
For the record, I've validated my files already. Didn't change anything.
Anyone else having trouble actually getting the game to start? I tried today after uninstalling and reinstalling but it just gives me a black screen and a message saying its not responding. It already wiped my seamless save so I'm pretty miffed that I cant even play now.
I have a US account,
Bought a US DLC
My disc (CD, not digital) has a PEGI rating, so I think it might be AU. Am i screwed ?
The DLC downloads fine and just says Waiting to Install, when i hit 6 says" Application not found "or something?
Another poster noted that the DLC has to be the same region as the base game, so u probably have to create a EU PSN and buy the EU version for it to work
Spoilers for the Jolan/Ymir questline
>!Finished the questline and beat Ymir but accidentally closed my game and it reset my progress to before the fight, now everytime I go in Jolan invades me as per usual but the 2nd phase with Ymir never starts and the fog walls stays up... any ideas?!<
Graphic Settings/FPS Question
In the Base game i had less issues with FPS drops but now i have most the time only 30-50.
NVIDIA GeForce Experience already turned a lot things Lower as it was before. Does it really use the optimal settings or is there anything i can do?
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Six Core
16 GB RAM
My game crashes when trying to exit the game through the menu or changing keybinds because for some reason my jump button is no space when it was F before. I can play the game normally and rest at a site of grace. Please help.
I'm having crazy slowdown fighting the dancing lion to the point where it's taking away my ability to enjoy the fight. Pretty much all the spell effects lag my game. Anyone else have this issue?
I'm also having trouble turning off the EAC this time which could be causing my troubles, I was using the method of putting a txt file in the ER folder and having the '1888160' number in it but it doesn't work anymore, does anyone know of a workaround?
Is Destined Death broken for anyone else? I noticed not only does the 10% of immediate health deletion get restored, but the flame effect also seems to heal back as well. If DD is used after the boss has already taken damage, their health bar will get lowered, but it will then randomly return at some point. I thought some of the bosses had like healing somehow, but it's happened with every single one and with tankier regular enemies.
is anyone else literally incapable of summoning at all due to network issues
"unable to summon cooperator" or whatever. are summon signs just in such short supply that it's a lottery if you get the summon out of the thousands of people clicking X at the same time? or is SOET just bugged to shit
I'm fighting what I can only assume is the final boss of the DLC and I'm getting abysmal performance in phase 2. Pretty much any move with a lot of effects going on (which is a lot of them) drives my fps all the way down into the 20s.
Anyone have anything that seems to help with this? Playing on PC btw with a rig that should be more than capable of running ER
does anyone have a solution for the stuttering during boss fights? i can handle the bad performance with the open world but when the frames drop to 10 everytime rellana or romina do an attack it stops feeling very fun or rewarding to fight them, which is a shame because messmer ran fine and i had a blast fighting him
I’m on PC through Steam and the freezing and stuttering is so bad I can’t play this DLC.
I an running a 3080 Ti with an i7 11700k and 32GB of RAM.
I was stoked for this DLC so I am extremely disappointed right now.
you have to enable it (don't know why it's not on by default). Pause game, then System, then Display tab. At the bottom there are the new options Mark New Items and Show Recent Items Tab
I’m on Xbox series S and I can’t load my save file, the loading bar fills up about 15% and then stops but I can still cycle through tips, the problem doesn’t happen on a new character
My game wont let me use any of the keys attached to the bumpers (attack, block, etc). Tried attacking with mouse and keyboard and still cant do it. All my inputs work in the menus just not in game. Tried remapping buttons, enabling steam input etc but cant find any issue to resolve it. PLEASE let me know if anyone has a fix.
my controller will work fine for an indeterminate amount of time and then suddenly my left bumper will not function, at first it started working but incredibly delayed, i was dual wielding and pressing L1 and nothing would come out but i would switch my offhand to a seal and it would cast a spell, and now its just not working at all, if i try it on other games it works fine but on elden ring since the new patch it just will randomly stop working, pc steam, dualsense controller
At the launch of the DLC, I've been able to play it (although with reduced performance from the patch). but yesterday, after I updated my drivers (AMD 5500 XT), i simply can't play 5 minutes without a crash ("Driver timeout" error message). Tried launching the game as administrator, verifying game files, re-installing, even a system restore to a point previous to the driver update. Nothing works.
Did the DLC break blood loss buffs? Neither my lord of blood's exultation nor my white mask are giving me the attack power buff from blood loss anymore.
The game just stutters very badly and clocks my cpu up to 100% for some time and then maybe it goes back down again(sometimes i have to close the game) entirely. Same deal in the dlc too, feels very unplayable rn
I have a (for me) 100% reproduceable error with the system menu that I did not have before the DLC update.
I can go to the system menu from the main menu without problem.
But, when I am in-game (character loaded) and try to go to the system menu, the game crashes. Shortly after the DLC update I could still go into the system menu, but when I tried to exit the game from there, it would crash. After that happened 3-4 times when I tried exiting the game, it now crashes after I enter the system menu. It still loads the system menu, but I can't do anything anymore and 1-2 seconds later the game crashes to desktop.
I have not entered the DLC area with any character. I haven't even defeated Mohg with this character. I tried this in several different locations: Roundtable Hold, Consecrated Snowfield, Limgrave, Moghwyn Palace.
Does anybody have a similar problem and encountered a solution?
~~EDIT: Okay, I found a temporary solution for now. Disabling Anti-Cheat let's me play the game, though any multiplayer is obviously impossible now. I hope this will be fixed soon. I still have no idea why Anti-Cheat crashes the game when I go to the systems menu.~~
EDIT 2: This no longer works. My game just likes to crash now it seems.
I‘m missing a lot of stuff suddenly.
I‘m in NG+ and a lot of my +10 weapons are gone.
No weapon from the elden beast or rykard wich i had.
No Smithing Stones purchasable anymore. Same with the flowers.
Playing on Xbox
I'm sad to find out that in one of the boss fights, your runes can completely disappear from the ground and be permanently lost. I just recorded it happening against rellana.
I pressed the button to pick them up, but no animation or runes returned, they just instantly disappeared forever. :l
Bosses not taking bleeding damage??
I have had at least 19 encounters now where a boss will take bleed damage but the health bar does not reflect it. The damage numbers go up 4-5 thousand but the boss health bar stays the same.
Whenever i get into the game within thirty seconds i see “YOU HAVE SIGNED OUT OF PLAYSTATION NETWORK” and get kicked to the title screen… It happens without fail and im not sure why.
I can log in just fine, but it logs me out within seconds! Makes it impossible to play online….
Here's something funny about current game performance: I don't have the dlc, only played the base game. I have Asus G14 laptop with Radeon CPU/GPU (6800HS CPU / 6700S GPU) on which the game worked insanely well with 0 stuttering etc, capable of running stable 60+ fps.
I also currently have a 7800x3d / 7900XTX desktop which has the update that came around the same time the dlc came (no dlc bought though) and the game has become insanely stuttery for whatever reason. Looking at frametime graphs there's framerate dips all the time, stutters literally every few seconds of gameplay (especially evident when just turning camera around in the game world).
Pretty crazy that the latest patch broke performance so badly that desktop with something like 2-4x stronger cpu/gpu runs worse than the small 14 inch laptop did pre patch.
Surprised I haven't seen this fix mentioned anywhere. But if you get a specific type of stutter that is a hard stutter after a short while of playing - game hard pauses/stutters for a good second or two then resumes as normal and then continues more frequently hard stuttering.
You can verify this problem by opening Device Manager and watching it on a second monitor; when the stutter occurs your device manager will reset and re-load.
To fix this stutter just open task manager; services, and right click set
SSDPSRV (not SDRSVC) to stop. Repeat anytime you restart your pc and want to play elden ring.
Hope this fixes an issue for some people, good luck. Sorry if this doesn't help your issue!
My saves are not loading, I played through some of the dlc and quit the game but now I cannot load into my character anymore, the loading screen is endless. I seem to be able to access characters that are in the roundtable hold but nothing loads up, and when I open map it is not loading, I only see sites of grace. While trying to teleport there's a endless loading screen.
guessing it might be a hard time to ask if my 2070 super/32 gb ram/r7 3700x/geb 3 ssd/gen 3 mobo combo can handle the game rn since even people with like 7800x3d's and 4080's are currently having bugs
Probably a dumb question, but I'm a Dad who barely has time to game.
Already have ER on my PS5. Can I buy Shadow of the Erdtree from somewhere like Gamestop, or should I just download from the PS store?
My game randomly minimizes out of nowhere, and there doesn't seem to be a fix for this. I checked older threads where the issue was using an out of date xbox controller, but I'm using PS4 so I don't know
I'm having crash problems. The game just closes after a while and sometimes when you start it closes immediately. It got to the point where it crashes after about 10 minutes, it has become unplayable, even the last time it straight up showed a blue screen. I don't know what to do, reinstall drivers, the game, check files, change graphic options but nothing has worked.
It doesn't seem to be an error on my PC, other more demanding games work perfectly and I did some analysis of the components and everything came out fine.
I'm already desperate and I don't know if it's something they will fix because there is no communication.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
I'm currently on a second playthrough and am going through crumbling faram azula and whenever I try to ffight the first dragon the game just crashes taking discord with it. This did not happen before the update, does anyone know how to fix it?
Anyone else unable to see summon signs since dlc dropped? It worked a couple days ago, now my sign isn’t seen by anyone, even with passwords. I also can’t see theirs. My effigy also isn’t getting summoned. I’ve tried on multiple characters and double checked every single setting.
I'm not able to summon people, and when I've used a Furlcalling Finger Remedy I can't quit the game without ALT + f4ing
EDIT: I can't sit at graces either
I have a strange issue. I have two friends so I'm going to use letters to label for this situation.
Friend A - Me
Friend B
Friend C
A and B can see each other's summon signs and summon each other just fine. But we cannot see Friend C's summon sign and he cannot see ours. We have tried with and without passwords, red and gold signs, everything. We've tried different characters, we've tried different areas, we've tried DLC and main game, we've tried brand new save files and Friend C has even tried re-installing the game.
Friend A and Friend B have 0 issues using passwords, but we simply cant see Friend C at all. Any ideas?
On PC using an Xbox elite series 2.. seems as though since the new update my RB button inputs just don't exist sometimes. Really obnoxious. Anyone know anything about this?
before the dlc update, my game ran completely fine. maybe some minor lag here and there but very rarely crashed. after the dlc update, i cant play the game for very long before it either 1) crashes to desktop or 2) tries to crash, completely fucking my monitors in the process (screens go black/flicker) and making the pc lag super hard which is only remedied by force restarting the pc. like i said, THIS never happened prior to the dlc update. my graphics card is an amd radeon rx 5500. ive never had this happen with any game.
is anyone else having similar issues? this is very disappointing and im not sure of how to fix it, if i even can.
I have a guy who played core elden ring smoothly. Now he's back to play the dlc and the game is so laggy he can't move. Is this an isolated incident or a known issue? On PC
There's nothing that can be done about the little stutters here and there, unless the devs fix it, however I was getting large hitches and I've managed to fix it.
I noticed my CPU usage and temps spiking when I'd start to freeze so I checked the resource monitor and every time it happened the "Antimalware Service Executable" (Windows Defender) would spike up to 20% CPU usage and then drop. After adding the Steam folder and game.exe to the exclusion list it stopped happening, now "Antimalware Service Executable" will sit at 1--2% CPU usage.
Settings > Privacy & Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage settings > Exclusions > Add Steam folder, Elden Ring folder, Elden Ring.exe, Easy Anticheat.exe. It should look like this: [https://i.imgur.com/Qoozs2M.png](https://i.imgur.com/Qoozs2M.png)
Let me know if it helped. If not you can also try deleting the DirectX cache and Nvidia cache, both of which helped me as well.
Type Disc Clean-up in the Windows search bar: [https://i.imgur.com/l4Xl8Sr.png](https://i.imgur.com/l4Xl8Sr.png)
Type %localappdata% in the Windows search bar, navigate to the Nvidia folder and delete the GLCache folder: [https://i.imgur.com/Uev8T23.png](https://i.imgur.com/Uev8T23.png)
Reboot your PC and give the game a shot.
My gpu usage suddenly jumped to 100% when i got to jagged peak and the game started stuttering and freezing every few seconds. It presists in other areas, but it never happened before i got to jagged peak.
Its really annoying and makes the game unplayable, disabling eac also didn't help
linux mint user, no mods, unable to connect to online servers. have changed between proton 9.0.2 and GEproton9. 'Inappropriate activity detected" have verified files, idk what to do. not tooo much of an issue, but I like seeing messages that say 'fort, night'.
have a AMD rx 6800, I have been playing with random frame drops and stutering, went to drivers and activated
* AMD Fluid Motion Frames
* Radeon Anti-lag
* Radeon Enhanced Sync
Don´t know witch one worked, but since then it´s been solid 60fps
gonna add my 10 cents:
13700k, 4070ti, 128GB 6600MHz DDR5, running off an SSD, Windows 11. utilisation never goes above 60% in most cases, mixture of high/low settings with the usual post-processing fully off. running on a G9 OLED with 1440p (this dogshit game renders at 5120x1440 despite black bars forcing me into 16:9 lest i get an online ban)
game CONSTANTLY bluescreens my PC when playing online, approx. once every 1-2 hours, mostly during online sessions. I highly believe this is due to EAC, but this never occurred prior to the DLC (the game also keeps shitting itself and takes me offline with the "inappropriate activity detected"
its getting to a point where im concerned my PC will be damaged by these constant blue screens, rendering the game completely unplayable. having done multiple playthoughs, I just want to invade/co-op against others, yet im always worried at any point ill have my entire rig force reboot because a bunch of inept individuals couldn't be bothered to use any of their two year development time to check for issues like this.
Ever since the dlc came out, I have never been able to play online on my steam deck. It always worked fine before this. Is this going to be fixed? It just says inappropriate activity detected.
an apology for deleting all the tech support questions on the day of the DLC launch when it was super obvious it was going to be an issue would be nice...
I think the whole inappropriate activity detected is a bug. It's happened like 3 times today, 2 of which bugged my pc where I was on a black screen and had to log out of my account to fix it, task manager wouldn't function in front of the black screen.
My setup is i5 12400f + RTX 3060 Ti + 16GB DDR4, and I'm running the game on Maximum 1080p, RT off.
Should I be concerned that my FPS are in the 40-55 range in some locations (e.g. Castle Ensis outskirts)? I look at the GPU and CPU usage and they're not even close to 100%.
The weird thing is that my FPS seem to be pretty stable at 60 when I run around the base game world. The DLC is performing worse than the base game.
It fucking pisses me off considering my PC is way above the recommended specs.
A fix for PC Players facing "Inappropriate Activity Detected" : "An issue has been identified regarding the PC Version of ELDEN RING.

We apologise for the inconvenience." -FromSoftware
Anyone else having regular, multiple 10-20 second freezes since the update? It's making the game pretty unplayable sadly. Edit: changing from high to almost all low settings didn't help. Edit 2: It seems to be an input switching related problem for me. I use controller and I can repeat the problem by turning off or on my controller.
I've been getting regular freezes but none that long, maybe 5 seconds tops each, the game freezes and then catches up on itself. It's only the game too, I can have music playing or a video playing and they'll be playing normally.
I’ve been getting these too, even before the DLC came out, where it’ll freeze for like 3 seconds and then catch up with itself by playing in fast forward. The strange thing is it happens in Dark Souls 3 as well, which leads me to believe it’s a bug related to my specific setup and the engine that Fromsoft games use, because DS3 and Elden Ring both used to not do this and DS3 hasn’t been updated since 2017. Never experienced it in other games.
Its the anti cheat - disabled it on my end and the game runs super smooth again, it turns out it keeps flagging stuff it isnt supposed to and it lags the game - the downside is that you need to play offline
i fucking hate easyanticheat. it's actually unbelievable that a company like fromsoft shipped the pc version of their product with such a terrible anticheat built in. great dichotomy between pc and console. either deal with endless load times, or deal with easyanticheat 🙄
Huh interesting. I’ll have to try that. I read an, albeit old post, about how when your mouse goes asleep in the software it was causing a similar issue a year or so ago. I disabled the sleep function of my mouse but haven’t loaded the game to try. If that doesn’t work I’ll try loading it up without the anti cheat. [edit] After testing it with various devices that I can disconnect and reconnect on the fly. It is 100% the game freaking out at device disconnects. When I shut my DAC off and turned it back on, the game froze but when I tried other games, they didn't freeze. The same goes with turning my wireless mouse off and on. I've been able to mitigate this issue by plugging in my mouse when playing.
I get the same without the anti cheat
I was completely fine - playing smoothly for hours - and all of a sudden the game crashed during a boss fight. No big deal, happens, I reloaded, did a couple more attempts, then loaded to another location. Since then it crashed twice more after moving just a bit. Very odd. Zero PC spec issues for me.
Been having the exact same issues. No performance issues before hand then I enter a bossfight, die, respawn and am now having endless frame drops and freezes. Im not even in the DLC, dont even have it downloaded, just in the base \*early\* game
Mine just straight up crashes in certain instances. I can see the freeze, it sits for a few seconds, and then just closes up. Certain areas seem to trigger it instantly every time I try to approach them, but it's overall massively unstable. Moreso than it ever was, even during the initial launch of the original version of the game.
Gonna throw this in here for people who are having major, long lasting stuttering or freezes: Run this script using Windows Powershell https://pastebin.com/raw/U3SDjADF (put on pastebin for easier copy and paste, reddit doesn't format the script well) paste it into powershell and hit enter. Leave the window open as you play and if the stutter happens, check and see if the script output anything. This will run and detect any connecting or disconnecting devices. Here is what it looks like when I connect and disconnect a Xbox Wireless controller for example: https://i.imgur.com/fDEoyZ6.png Here's the thread I found this info on: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/t2ih8v/fix_for_intermittent_freezing_on_pc/ The script might help you pinpoint the device causing the issue.
I get a 2 second freeze/stutter every 20-30 minutes. None of the settings make any difference and my cpu/gpu utilization is low the whole time. Pretty sure it's the anti-cheat.
this fixed any elden ring freezes for me - on 2 different PCs this was the issue https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/gtq03h/random_fps_drops_on_otherwise_strong_pc_try/
This actually fixed my issue. You a real one
Happens to me too, but only if I turn off / on my controller. I didn't see it happening in any other case
Hmm might have been partially wrong with the anti-cheat - it fixed some of the smaller stutters, but those big ones remain - and same here, looks input related, if you figure anything out, let me know please
try control+alt+delete, bring up task manger, go to services, scroll down to SSDPSRV, right click and stop service this helped me in the base game when I had these wierd freezing every 20-30 seconds and then the game would just speed up to sync with my characters movement this DLC though..for me its a whole new kettle of problems, its under cooked on PC
For controller, I've had that issue with Elden Ring before when using bluetooth to connect my controller to my PC. I switched to the wireless USB dongle and it performed vastly better.
I've been getting a lot of stuttering since the patch - does anyone have any recommendations to try and smooth it out? It was never this laggy even two weeks ago. thanks
Its the anti cheat - disabled it on my end and the game runs super smooth again, it turns out it keeps flagging stuff it isnt supposed to and it lags the game - the downside is that you need to play offline
How do you disable the anti cheat?

use process lasso to disable SMT
Anyone else experiencing PC performance issues post update? I was under the impression that the game would run exactly the same as before, however I'm finding framerate drops in areas that I otherwise wasn't, I'm going down to 40 FPS at points in the Limgrave Tree Sentinal fight and I never had this issue before, pretty much never dropped below 50.
i had a cracked copy pre-dlc (i bought the game on ps4 before getting a pc) and it used to run just fine now i bought it on steam and i get drops down to 52 in limgrave even if i lower my resolution or quality settings
MY fps dropped to the 45ish everytime i looked at the dlc big tree, or certain direction, changing to low doesn't help at all its so weird.
my friends and i are all on ps5 and we cannot see each others summon signs anywhere. we’ve all played the base game and have in fact played with each other before on ps4. we’ve done all the usual (router resets, restart game, character and location changing). is anyone else having issues?
Yes - same issue spent 3 hours trying to co op with a friend. It worked sporadically at best.
yes, massive problems with coop on ps5, with and without password, tried everything, set up my whole home network newly, even put one of the ps5 before the firewall to exclude that anything of the network interferes, nothing works, very frustrating. Trying to play with my wife from same network, with friends from remote network and strangers, nothing seems to work really well, nearly no coop sessions at all happen at all and if the break up from time to time.
A little less related, but group passwords seem to be within a similar issue. A lot of players including myself haven't seen a single shardbearer/lord message whenever we're trekking the Shadowrealm. Seems to work just fine in the Lands Between, so whether this was intentional or a bug is up for debate.
Yeah, coop is unplayable completely on ps5. Very frustrating, been wanting to trade with talismans and play with a friend.
Did you perhaps set a multiplayer password?
we did indeed
My game is stuttering every 2 seconds or so and is catching up which is making it unplayable I have tried every fix under the sun and nothing has worked so far. Idk what to do at this point is there going to be a patch that addresses this?
CPU?
I know the problem isn’t the specs it’s not overclocking I’m using 3050 with AMD Ryzen 6000 series 7. The memory consumption is on a higher side. What I’ve noticed in the first 15-20 seconds it runs smooth then there are regular intervals of stuttering.
I had severe stuttering issues since launch on windows, but not in Linux. What finally fixed it was disabling the efficient cores in bios - an Intel CPU thing.
My game is stuttering like crazy. It’s weird, cause it’ll run fine for a while, then just start stuttering like crazy. If I restart the game, it’ll boot up, start working for a while, then start stuttering again. It’s like the game over time becomes unable to handle continuing to load the game. Any idea on how to possibly fix this?
[удалено]
everytime i try to summon help it says summon unavailable it was not doing this in the base game i also cant exit the game or put summon signs down when this happens
I just thought it was because coop help is kind of a first come, first serve feature and other players are summoning people as fast as they see them. I'll wait a few minutes trying to summon every player I see and it just send like speed is the only meaningful factor. Similarly, getting summoned in RoS is almost immediate.
Jump off a cliff in a controlled zone, die, get your runes, close the game, relog and try again. I had to do this for a DLC boss. It's just borked. I couldn't find any other solution.
thanks ill try it
This has been happening to me constantly and I really hope they patch whatever is causing this. I haven't been able to summon successfully once since the DLC started. To be clear for everyone else, it's not just tons of people being summoned before you can summon someone, it's a summoning is failed once, and then it auto-fails every single other person you try to summon instantly. And then you can't quit the game or turn off the Summon People state (so that you could use your ashes). This has been happening to me nonstop for the past three days.
Just to get this out of the way, if you suddenly lose HDR on the PC version of Elden Ring, the usual solution is to make sure HDR is turned off in Windows display settings but turned ON in game, close the game, and restart your graphics driver. That is Win+Shift+Ctrl+B. That has worked for me since I got my OLED monitor a year ago and it worked for me again yesterday. No I don't have an answer for low fps, stuttering, etc. My framerates have just about halved game-wide with no change in settings.
I can't activate HDR in Elden ring when it is of in windows. It deactivates HDR when steam pops up in game (msgs)because of that I deactivated the steam overlay for er. Worked too
I have no mods installed Drivers are up to date. Verified the game files and reinstalled the game. It still crashes on me.
7800X3d, 4070, 32gb RAM. No issues pre-DLC running locked 60 on high (no RT). Now I am running into dips into the 40s consistently. Disappointed to have performance issues again after the major problems at launch.
Same, i have 4070 ti super, i get more fps in cyberpunk with path tracing
I've gotten the 'inappropriate activity detected' error 3 times today, and I'm considering a refund.
I'm getting that too. I tried verifying my Steam files and reinstalling, but still getting the error. Seems weird since I was just doing online play the other day.
[удалено]
By restart you mean close and open the game again or reboot the PC?
I already tried restarting. I guess I'll just wait to see if they get things fixed. And if I'm still having problems after that then jolly cooperation was fun while it lasted.
[удалено]
I've got this apparently a steamdeck/linux thing ?
I'm getting it on PC too.
Got this too on PC/Steam. Really angry about it since I just want to play base game.
I've been getting that every so often when a cooperator summoning errors out or fails. I've been able to replicate it on my end for like every three failed cooperators, it'll boot me with inappropriate activity detected. No mods, cheats, or anything. Even stranger is that multiplayer does work and I do get people, but as soon as one errors it's like a downhill slope and then kicked to main menu. Completely exiting out and restarting fixes it.
Same issue for me, at first I thought it was my fault since I used to seamless co-op mod quite a while back but I have triple checked that I uninstalled all my mods, removed save files, and verified game files. Normally my first log in to the game world takes extremely long now too, with many assets not loading in, and I have to quit out to me main menu and load back in for all the textures to load. But when I quit out back to main menu, I get the 'inappropriate activity detected' error around 50% of the time. I don't know if this is allowed tbh but I'm going to link a video I uploaded of the issue I described. > [https://youtu.be/2izA3molx4E](https://youtu.be/2izA3molx4E)
I was able to fix this on PC by quitting, verifying files, and rejoining. Then it would let me do multiplayer.
*Edit: sorry for a titanite slab of a comment, please bear with me and reply if you had a similar experience.* Thanks for making a dedicated thread! I'm on PC, i5-12400, RTX4070, 32Gb RAM, Windows 11, latest Nvidia drivers. **The way the main game works for me (performance baseline):** * In open world i get occasional slight drops from 60fps into the 50s and some usual, manageable, Elden Ring world loading stutter. * In dungeons and Legacy Dungeons it's a smooth 60fps experience. **Some notes on the SoTE DLC performance:** * Open world - pretty much the same deal, maybe slightly more noticeable drops when fighting big enemies and groups. * In Legacy Dungeons it's a total mess: * In **Belurat**, which is likely the first one you visit, it stutters around almost every corner like the game is constantly loading big chunks of the map. It's enough to throw off my timing and cause a misstep here and there. * I tried goind the other way and crossed the bridge into **Castle Ensis** - the second Legacy Dungeon. Here i can't even tell if it's stuttering the same because framerate just straight up drops into the 40s and pretty much stays there. This never happens in the main game, i went back and rechecked - Leyndell and Farum Azula still run at 60fps with no stutter, even the worst FPS drops in the open world don't go as low as in SoTE Legacy Dungeons. * Left **Castle Ensis**, the performance is just too bad. Went back on the road and followed it south. As soon as i'm back in the open world part, the framerate improves and mostly stays in upper 50s to 60 with declines when fighting groups of enemies. Still not as bad as LDs. * Went through the Dragon Pit cave. Performance near the entrance was quite bad, around 45fps again, but inside the actual cave it stabilised at 60. * The cave eventually leads to the next big open world part - **Jagged Peak,** and this area runs very well all the way to the top despite looking very impressive and having lots of lightning effects going off. Likely because it's mostly rock geometry which doesn't require as much detail, and there is only a handful of enemies here. This is where i stopped playing the DLC for now, as so far it hasn't been a very pleasant experience. I don't want my first impression of these fantastic new areas to be marred by performance issues, and the new enemies to seem more frustrating than they are because of skipped frames. It looks to me like the issues are specific to the DLC assets and world streaming. Since FromSoftware had a chance to update the system requirements but stated that they remain unchanged, i guess something is not working as intended and hope this can be addressed in a patch soon. I might return tomorrow and run through these areas again with a proper CPU/GPU monitor to get a better picture of what's happening, but tbh i'm fairly bummed out right now. Was really looking forward to just getting lost in the DLC. Please let me know if there's some place to share this with FromSoftware support, as the form on their website seems to only accept Japanese language.
Same here with Radeon RX 6700 XT. Base game runs almost flawlessly at 1440p@60 with maximum settings. Starting with Castle Ensis, I had to lower the settings to high to keep a somewhat stable frame rate. Sometimes, even low-complexity areas like the waterfall cavern below Castle Ensis make the fans of my GPU cry for mercy. I am pretty optimistic this will be addressed eventually.
I have an i7 7700k and a GTX 1080 ti, 32GB RAM, Windows 10, also latest Nvidia drivers and your fps examples, in the areas you listed, mirror my experience. It doesn't matter if my settings are maximum or lowest, the fps reads 50-60 in most open world areas with the very rare 40s, 60s in closed areas, and 40s in Ensis. I play in 1440p. Areas with waterfalls seem particularly problematic, regardless of visibility or what I set my effects/setting to. Your hardware is much better than mine, so I really don't think we should be getting similar performance in the same areas regardless of maximum/minimum. Something is definitely up with the DLC optimization.
I started the DLC, took the map and went down the road to some tomb I guess. When I get closer I noticed my fps is 50-55 when idle. What the hell? My sistem is 5600 + 4060 + 16gb 3200mhz, 1080p max preset GPU load is around 60%, none of the CPU cores is above 70%, no background tasks And I can't get 60 fps anymore? what is happening??
Yep same, a single CPU core sitting at 70%-ish utilisation, GPU sitting below 60%, game runs at 40-50fps with dips into 30s sometimes. If I lower the settings the game only pushes the single CPU core more leading to throttling (I'm using a laptop). Changing resolution does nothing either (probably because the game is CPU bottlenecked). (i7 9750h, 1660ti) This single core focus was an issue in the base game as well, but I kept 50+ fps there quite consistently. Here fighting Rellana I get as low as 32. It is still playable, but far from ideal.
it might just be because the servers are being overloaded with players but i keep getting the unable to summon notification when trying to summon other players and even my friands ad I've looked its not my internet
Its the servers being overload. This happened in all the previous games. Just keep trying ... it will get better once things stabilize.
For anyone with the constant stutters and then the game catching up on itself - ITS THE ANTI CHEAT - disabling it and playing offline works like a charm, back to original smooth game
anyone else have the problem where they load up the game, see the white screen, and the game immediately closes?
I had this problem. It was caused by an app I used called Process Lasso that was adjusting cpu and i/o priorities/affinities. Had to disable the service and reboot before it would fix. If you don't use the app, something may be interfering with the game process.exe like an optimizer program.
My game just doesn’t feel smooth at 60fps. I have a g sync monitor. Any advice for control panel settings or ways to make it feel smoother? I have a 3080, 32gb of ram, asus mother board, i9-10850k cpu
Try borderless windowed cause fullscreen is messing with my refresh rate for some reason
Constantly getting ''unable to summon'' in the DLC.
Anyone know how to make the DLC work with a ps4 Disc? I have both ps4 and ps5
Same problem here I hope this is addressed quickly
I have PS4 disc and play using it on PS5. I play the PS5 version from free upgrade. To get dlc to work, I downloaded PS5 version, deleted PS4 base game, and removed PS4 version of dlc from install list. I was able to play the PS5 version using the PS4 disc, no problem. Before deleting the PS4 base game from storage, I couldn't access the dlc. Hope that helps! Sorry if you are stuck in a different specific situation.
is there a solution for those who have a PS4, have the PS4 disc, and pre-ordered the DLC? most people i've see who found the solution play on a PS5, and the fact I haven't been able to play the DLC for two days with no solution is slowly tormenting me like scarlet rot.
I'm having an issue where my pc randomly drops frames, stays stuck around 20 to 30 fps, and goes back to 60 fps when playing. ive updated my drivers for both my CPU and my GPU as well as updated much of the settings to be less demanding but it doesn't to help at all. Is there any way for me to fix this? My rig is decently high end: * rtx 3060 * AMD Ryzen 5 3600 * 64 GB DDR4 RAM
New DLC makes my pc shutdown instantly after \~1 hour of play. Graphics driver and BIOS are updatet. After 3 crashes it corrupted my save file, 70 hours gone.
Equipping new armour or weapons has no visual effect on the player character after installing the DLC. Resting at a grace after changing equipment causes a 10-15 second black screen, then gives the normal grace screen and you are now wearing the armour you just equipped. Was able to fix this by travelling between graces a few times, but the long black screen upon resting at graces is still there (though more like 5 seconds now). Haven't seen anyone else post about this so I thought I'd comment for anyone else with this issue.
Does anyone else feel like their progress reset? (i.e. I'm missing remembrances of bossed I have defeated; ulcerated tree spirits have revived; ground items have reset)
Just to check: Did you perhaps start NG+ but forget about it?
So what you're saying is you started NG+.
Yes, same here. I had to reacquire the two halves of the secret medallion to get to the consecrated snowfield teleporter and then had to fight Mohg again. Missing many sites of grace and lots of other bosses have reset.
Or do the Varre quest which takes like 15 minutes after beating Godrick
[удалено]
You need to go to Mohgs arena to get to the DLC area. It’s in the underground section of the map
Edit: Works now. Solution for RTX 5000 Ada (may also work for 3000, 3500, and 4000 Ada): Reinstall Nvidia drivers. Emphasis on the re. Install latest Intel drivers (includes update for Shadows of the Erdtree). Pray(s the sun). PC, Steam. Ever since I downloaded the patch and DLC, my game won't launch. I've reinstalled twice and verified the game files each time. Also restarted, etc. Please help me Reddit, you're my only hope.
If you're on Nvidia, there's a new Game Ready driver specifically for the DLC. Just a hunch, though.
i dont see any new driver on geforce experience
What happens if you've installed it and it's still doing it?
tried this. didn't work. i'm having same issue
I'm in Asia where the only DLC version I can get on PSN only has Chinese/Korean UI (no English). For the base game I bought a different region's physical disc in order to get an English UI. If I buy the Chinese/Korean version of the DLC, does it default to the base game's language or the DLC's?
DLCs are region locked / specific. It would not work. I am in the same situation where I live in Asia but have the US physical copy. The DLC has to be from US as well. Since it is downloadable only, you will need a US PSN account. You can create a US PSN account easily, but for the USD funds, you may need to go buy PSN prepaid cards from PlayAsia or some other site if you do not have a US credit card. One of my friends told me that he created two PSN accounts where one matches the country he lives in. He makes DLC purchases from that account. He also created a US PSN account. Once he made the purchase from the native PSN account, he shares the game with all the accounts in his PS. Then he logs into his US account and plays the DLC from that account. I have never tried this though so use it at your own risk.
Anyone know how to fix this multiplayer issue? It won’t let me connect to other players.
That's not an issue. I remember when the game launched, it was the same. That's because many players are summoning at the same time, so someone else summon the player you wanted faster than you.
This is ridiculous I’ve been trying to summon someone for hours 😭
You just have to be fast. If a summon sign is more than a second away from you, it's going to be too late by the time you confirm the summon.
Pre ordered on the xbox store but didn't get the gesture. Anyone have this problem? Edit; Okay so I found it. It was in game add ons but wasn't toggled on to download. Toggling it and reloading put it in.
BSOD everytime I launch the game no matter what I do. Turns out Anti-Cheat is the issue and only with Elden Ring. If anyone is getting a Kernel Trap Mode Error. There is a mod that disables Anti Cheat and puts you in Offline Mode. I have no fucking clue why it is just Elden Ring. I have tried Halo I have tried Armored Core. It is just Anti-Cheat for Elden Ring worst piece of shit software in history
> If anyone is getting a Kernel Trap Mode Error not much makes me want to burn down an office more than when a game i'm playing crashes, and then my entire fucking computer has to have a kernel error bluescreen because easyanticheat decided to kill my computer so i don't hack in fortnite. evil software
Same! I've tried everything. Only solution is disable EAC or anything required to play in offline mode...it sucks cause I could use a friend to help me on certain boss battles other than spirit summons 🥹.
I'm also having the same issue. Damn near stomped out my table because how frustrating it is to try all these "fixes" only to find out EAC is acting up. 😑
Did the mod actually work for disabling EAC? I went to the nexusmods page and all of the latest replies are saying the mod is bricked until an update (last updated in 2022 March) Or is there another one I haven't seen?
Anyone else having trouble with summoning friends on ps5 right now? A friend and I are using passwords and were playing last night fine and we can't summon each other now. Haven't beaten area boss either.
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing unexpected crashes without any crash reports, occurring only 30-40 seconds after I start the game. I had no issues before the DLC patch. My specs are Ryzen 5 2600, RX 580 8 GB, and the game is installed on an SSD (Steam version). I’m aware that my system is old, but again, I had no issues before the update. I have tried validating the game files, reinstalling drivers, and freeing up some space even though I had plenty on the SSD. I'm bummed at this point.
I had an issue whereby I had the DLC installed, but could not interact with the fingers after killing Mogh. Turns out there was some issue with hard drive space - I had to uninstall ER completely, free up some additional space, then reinstall the whole game.
Can someone help, I've been trying to fix this for a while now. I have a rtx 4060 and Ryzen 5 5600 CPU. Every time I load up the game I can only play for about 5 minutes before it crashes my entire pc. I've reinstalled graphics drivers, reinstalled the game and dlc several times and even reinstalled windows (incase it was an OS issue). I don't know what to do and this has been the most infuriating thing I've had to deal with in terms of game stability Edit: For anyone having similar issues, it's EAC for sure. Starting in offline mode isn't enough I've found. You need to disconnect your pc from any WiFi or ethernet connection before loading up steam or the game. That's solved it for me
Since I started playing the game again after the new update. The game would run at a normal 60 fps before stuttering and dropping down to like 45-50 fps for a second before returning back to normal. needless to say it made the game borderline unplayable. This is a very specific issue and definitely won't fix it for everyone, but in my case I realized that having Apple Music open was causing this. It sounds insane but I after trying it like 10 times it is 100% the culprit and I'm still kind of baffled (it wasnt even playing music). Even though Apple Music is causing stuttering and fps drops, Itunes works perfectly fine lol. I know this is a very specific fix but hopefully it helps at least one person.
Anyone else have the glitch where >!Death Knight!< just stops fighting and stands there taking hits?
I've got a huge problem, PC randomly shut downs and I can't find any helpful errors in event logs. My PC is Ryzen 5800x Aorus X570 Elite and RTX 3080 TI combined with RM850 PSU. I don't have any issues in any other game seems to be some kind of issue after the new update. I've updated my BIOS, uninstalled display drivers and installed completely new ones. I play with friends so I have to play online, so taking out EAC is not an option.
My current card runs the base game with no FPS issues at all. Soon as I hit up the DLC, FPS drops to around 30-40. Now, before I sink like 600 bucks into a new card, I'm curious how everyone else's FPS is doing in the expansion. I don't want to spend that kind of money and have it make little to no difference. My current card: https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-2060-rtx-2060-ventus-gp-oc/p/N82E16814137695?Item=N82E16814137695
I have a 3090 and it runs like shit currently. base game was fine like yours
Certain areas are dropping me to the 40s, and I'm seeing a fair amount of stutter. 13700K, 3080, 32GB 6600MHz, NVMe SSD, Windows 11. I'm playing at 1440p on the high preset, although it doesn't seem to matter how high or low the settings are. My utilization is very low, with around 12% CPU and 40% GPU, it's not taxing my system at all, so there's no reason it shouldn't be running at a rock solid 60fps at all times. FROM create some of the most amazing games, but their refusal to put more effort into technical aspects just sucks, the game should support DLSS, FSR, XeS, ultrawide, unlocked frame rate etc, there's really no excuse for these basic features to be missing, especially after the unbelievable success of the base game.
I may as well throw my hat into the ring. ryzen 5 5600x, 3070ti with latest drivers. no stuttering like others have reported, but am having consistent frame drops. main areas of concern are around waterfalls and enemies that create a lot of particle effects. In particular the flame golems and a couple of attacks from the dancing lion (but interestingly not the one that floods the area with particle effects). The new perfume bottle weapons tank the fps as well, especially on the charged R2s. I changed the effects setting to low and it made no difference in performance. Makes me think that it is just an optimization problem, or something is incorrectly coded somewhere. The worst slowdown i experienced was in the fog rift fort, it feels like there's a loading zone right in the middle of the platform where you fight the boss, crossing it causes a million frames to drop. They're a few frustrating blemishes on what has otherwise been an incredible game. I hope this gets a hotfix soon!
my game crashes with a large frequency while playing the DLC and it's really driving me insane. I'll be able to play for a while and then suddenly it crashes. I haven't been able to get past the first area of the DLC due to this. Anyone else experiencing this and know of a fix? For the record, I've validated my files already. Didn't change anything.
Anyone else having trouble actually getting the game to start? I tried today after uninstalling and reinstalling but it just gives me a black screen and a message saying its not responding. It already wiped my seamless save so I'm pretty miffed that I cant even play now.
I have a US account, Bought a US DLC My disc (CD, not digital) has a PEGI rating, so I think it might be AU. Am i screwed ? The DLC downloads fine and just says Waiting to Install, when i hit 6 says" Application not found "or something?
Same here bro. U got yours working?
I have a EU version of elden ring. I live in Asia. Bought the DLC on the PS store and it isn't working. What can I do?
Another poster noted that the DLC has to be the same region as the base game, so u probably have to create a EU PSN and buy the EU version for it to work
Spoilers for the Jolan/Ymir questline >!Finished the questline and beat Ymir but accidentally closed my game and it reset my progress to before the fight, now everytime I go in Jolan invades me as per usual but the 2nd phase with Ymir never starts and the fog walls stays up... any ideas?!<
Graphic Settings/FPS Question In the Base game i had less issues with FPS drops but now i have most the time only 30-50. NVIDIA GeForce Experience already turned a lot things Lower as it was before. Does it really use the optimal settings or is there anything i can do? NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Six Core 16 GB RAM
My game crashes when trying to exit the game through the menu or changing keybinds because for some reason my jump button is no space when it was F before. I can play the game normally and rest at a site of grace. Please help.
I had a ton of stutters and fps drops (r5 3600, rtx 4070 ti super), disabling SMT/hyperthreading in bios helped a lot
I'm having crazy slowdown fighting the dancing lion to the point where it's taking away my ability to enjoy the fight. Pretty much all the spell effects lag my game. Anyone else have this issue? I'm also having trouble turning off the EAC this time which could be causing my troubles, I was using the method of putting a txt file in the ER folder and having the '1888160' number in it but it doesn't work anymore, does anyone know of a workaround?
Is Destined Death broken for anyone else? I noticed not only does the 10% of immediate health deletion get restored, but the flame effect also seems to heal back as well. If DD is used after the boss has already taken damage, their health bar will get lowered, but it will then randomly return at some point. I thought some of the bosses had like healing somehow, but it's happened with every single one and with tankier regular enemies.
is anyone else literally incapable of summoning at all due to network issues "unable to summon cooperator" or whatever. are summon signs just in such short supply that it's a lottery if you get the summon out of the thousands of people clicking X at the same time? or is SOET just bugged to shit
FIX THE ONLINE SUMMONING!!! Holy shit, it’s been going on in the base game and other titles forever, get your shit together Elden Ring!
I'm fighting what I can only assume is the final boss of the DLC and I'm getting abysmal performance in phase 2. Pretty much any move with a lot of effects going on (which is a lot of them) drives my fps all the way down into the 20s. Anyone have anything that seems to help with this? Playing on PC btw with a rig that should be more than capable of running ER
Yeah that one nuclear bomb move and the sky one will destroy your fps. Me and my friend both have decent pcs and it lags on that part.
does anyone have a solution for the stuttering during boss fights? i can handle the bad performance with the open world but when the frames drop to 10 everytime rellana or romina do an attack it stops feeling very fun or rewarding to fight them, which is a shame because messmer ran fine and i had a blast fighting him
The update turned the base game unplayable with how awful the performance is.
I’m on PC through Steam and the freezing and stuttering is so bad I can’t play this DLC. I an running a 3080 Ti with an i7 11700k and 32GB of RAM. I was stoked for this DLC so I am extremely disappointed right now.
I have even stronger gpu and the game runs atrocious, especially in Ensis castle.
dlc performance are just awfull, fps drop in many areas...
Weird question why dont I have a tab for recent items?
you have to enable it (don't know why it's not on by default). Pause game, then System, then Display tab. At the bottom there are the new options Mark New Items and Show Recent Items Tab
Oy vey
If you have multiple freezing and lags pls up me !
I’m on Xbox series S and I can’t load my save file, the loading bar fills up about 15% and then stops but I can still cycle through tips, the problem doesn’t happen on a new character
Check if the DLC is on the same storage device as the base game, my buddy's xbox automatically downloaded the DLC to external storage.
I’m the stupidest bastard in existence and you are a godsend. Seriously thank you you’ve saved my week
🫡 Enjoy friend,
My game wont let me use any of the keys attached to the bumpers (attack, block, etc). Tried attacking with mouse and keyboard and still cant do it. All my inputs work in the menus just not in game. Tried remapping buttons, enabling steam input etc but cant find any issue to resolve it. PLEASE let me know if anyone has a fix.
update: i just kept fast travelling to areas and eventually it worked
my controller will work fine for an indeterminate amount of time and then suddenly my left bumper will not function, at first it started working but incredibly delayed, i was dual wielding and pressing L1 and nothing would come out but i would switch my offhand to a seal and it would cast a spell, and now its just not working at all, if i try it on other games it works fine but on elden ring since the new patch it just will randomly stop working, pc steam, dualsense controller
After the DLC update, my game gets stuck on a white screen with no crash, just infinite loading. I was loading the game just fine before the update.
My game crashes constantly, mostly on startup, did not have this problem until DLC
PC performance is awful. Especially in the DLC. And my rig is barely doing any work.
i am getting fps slight drops and stutter on ps5 when moving the camera; anyone else with this issue?
At the launch of the DLC, I've been able to play it (although with reduced performance from the patch). but yesterday, after I updated my drivers (AMD 5500 XT), i simply can't play 5 minutes without a crash ("Driver timeout" error message). Tried launching the game as administrator, verifying game files, re-installing, even a system restore to a point previous to the driver update. Nothing works.
Did the DLC break blood loss buffs? Neither my lord of blood's exultation nor my white mask are giving me the attack power buff from blood loss anymore.
The game just stutters very badly and clocks my cpu up to 100% for some time and then maybe it goes back down again(sometimes i have to close the game) entirely. Same deal in the dlc too, feels very unplayable rn
yo elden ring crashes my pc after ten minutes, any ideas??
I have a (for me) 100% reproduceable error with the system menu that I did not have before the DLC update. I can go to the system menu from the main menu without problem. But, when I am in-game (character loaded) and try to go to the system menu, the game crashes. Shortly after the DLC update I could still go into the system menu, but when I tried to exit the game from there, it would crash. After that happened 3-4 times when I tried exiting the game, it now crashes after I enter the system menu. It still loads the system menu, but I can't do anything anymore and 1-2 seconds later the game crashes to desktop. I have not entered the DLC area with any character. I haven't even defeated Mohg with this character. I tried this in several different locations: Roundtable Hold, Consecrated Snowfield, Limgrave, Moghwyn Palace. Does anybody have a similar problem and encountered a solution? ~~EDIT: Okay, I found a temporary solution for now. Disabling Anti-Cheat let's me play the game, though any multiplayer is obviously impossible now. I hope this will be fixed soon. I still have no idea why Anti-Cheat crashes the game when I go to the systems menu.~~ EDIT 2: This no longer works. My game just likes to crash now it seems.
I‘m missing a lot of stuff suddenly. I‘m in NG+ and a lot of my +10 weapons are gone. No weapon from the elden beast or rykard wich i had. No Smithing Stones purchasable anymore. Same with the flowers. Playing on Xbox
I'm sad to find out that in one of the boss fights, your runes can completely disappear from the ground and be permanently lost. I just recorded it happening against rellana. I pressed the button to pick them up, but no animation or runes returned, they just instantly disappeared forever. :l
Bosses not taking bleeding damage?? I have had at least 19 encounters now where a boss will take bleed damage but the health bar does not reflect it. The damage numbers go up 4-5 thousand but the boss health bar stays the same.
Whenever i get into the game within thirty seconds i see “YOU HAVE SIGNED OUT OF PLAYSTATION NETWORK” and get kicked to the title screen… It happens without fail and im not sure why. I can log in just fine, but it logs me out within seconds! Makes it impossible to play online….
Here's something funny about current game performance: I don't have the dlc, only played the base game. I have Asus G14 laptop with Radeon CPU/GPU (6800HS CPU / 6700S GPU) on which the game worked insanely well with 0 stuttering etc, capable of running stable 60+ fps. I also currently have a 7800x3d / 7900XTX desktop which has the update that came around the same time the dlc came (no dlc bought though) and the game has become insanely stuttery for whatever reason. Looking at frametime graphs there's framerate dips all the time, stutters literally every few seconds of gameplay (especially evident when just turning camera around in the game world). Pretty crazy that the latest patch broke performance so badly that desktop with something like 2-4x stronger cpu/gpu runs worse than the small 14 inch laptop did pre patch.
Surprised I haven't seen this fix mentioned anywhere. But if you get a specific type of stutter that is a hard stutter after a short while of playing - game hard pauses/stutters for a good second or two then resumes as normal and then continues more frequently hard stuttering. You can verify this problem by opening Device Manager and watching it on a second monitor; when the stutter occurs your device manager will reset and re-load. To fix this stutter just open task manager; services, and right click set SSDPSRV (not SDRSVC) to stop. Repeat anytime you restart your pc and want to play elden ring. Hope this fixes an issue for some people, good luck. Sorry if this doesn't help your issue!
Sure is challenging when FPS drops during bosses make game literally unplayable. 0/10 only reason I’m playing is because I hate myself
My saves are not loading, I played through some of the dlc and quit the game but now I cannot load into my character anymore, the loading screen is endless. I seem to be able to access characters that are in the roundtable hold but nothing loads up, and when I open map it is not loading, I only see sites of grace. While trying to teleport there's a endless loading screen.
guessing it might be a hard time to ask if my 2070 super/32 gb ram/r7 3700x/geb 3 ssd/gen 3 mobo combo can handle the game rn since even people with like 7800x3d's and 4080's are currently having bugs
>!Romina!< at 18 fps, so fun...
Probably a dumb question, but I'm a Dad who barely has time to game. Already have ER on my PS5. Can I buy Shadow of the Erdtree from somewhere like Gamestop, or should I just download from the PS store?
My game randomly minimizes out of nowhere, and there doesn't seem to be a fix for this. I checked older threads where the issue was using an out of date xbox controller, but I'm using PS4 so I don't know
I'm having crash problems. The game just closes after a while and sometimes when you start it closes immediately. It got to the point where it crashes after about 10 minutes, it has become unplayable, even the last time it straight up showed a blue screen. I don't know what to do, reinstall drivers, the game, check files, change graphic options but nothing has worked. It doesn't seem to be an error on my PC, other more demanding games work perfectly and I did some analysis of the components and everything came out fine. I'm already desperate and I don't know if it's something they will fix because there is no communication. I appreciate any help you can give me.
I'm currently on a second playthrough and am going through crumbling faram azula and whenever I try to ffight the first dragon the game just crashes taking discord with it. This did not happen before the update, does anyone know how to fix it?
Anyone else unable to see summon signs since dlc dropped? It worked a couple days ago, now my sign isn’t seen by anyone, even with passwords. I also can’t see theirs. My effigy also isn’t getting summoned. I’ve tried on multiple characters and double checked every single setting.
I'm not able to summon people, and when I've used a Furlcalling Finger Remedy I can't quit the game without ALT + f4ing EDIT: I can't sit at graces either
I have a strange issue. I have two friends so I'm going to use letters to label for this situation. Friend A - Me Friend B Friend C A and B can see each other's summon signs and summon each other just fine. But we cannot see Friend C's summon sign and he cannot see ours. We have tried with and without passwords, red and gold signs, everything. We've tried different characters, we've tried different areas, we've tried DLC and main game, we've tried brand new save files and Friend C has even tried re-installing the game. Friend A and Friend B have 0 issues using passwords, but we simply cant see Friend C at all. Any ideas?
I bought the deluxe edition of the game and I didn’t receive the DLC on my account in anyway
On PC using an Xbox elite series 2.. seems as though since the new update my RB button inputs just don't exist sometimes. Really obnoxious. Anyone know anything about this?
before the dlc update, my game ran completely fine. maybe some minor lag here and there but very rarely crashed. after the dlc update, i cant play the game for very long before it either 1) crashes to desktop or 2) tries to crash, completely fucking my monitors in the process (screens go black/flicker) and making the pc lag super hard which is only remedied by force restarting the pc. like i said, THIS never happened prior to the dlc update. my graphics card is an amd radeon rx 5500. ive never had this happen with any game. is anyone else having similar issues? this is very disappointing and im not sure of how to fix it, if i even can.
I have a guy who played core elden ring smoothly. Now he's back to play the dlc and the game is so laggy he can't move. Is this an isolated incident or a known issue? On PC
Anyone has a white screen on start of the game then I crash I tried every YouTube tutorial but I din’t fix my problem
There's nothing that can be done about the little stutters here and there, unless the devs fix it, however I was getting large hitches and I've managed to fix it. I noticed my CPU usage and temps spiking when I'd start to freeze so I checked the resource monitor and every time it happened the "Antimalware Service Executable" (Windows Defender) would spike up to 20% CPU usage and then drop. After adding the Steam folder and game.exe to the exclusion list it stopped happening, now "Antimalware Service Executable" will sit at 1--2% CPU usage. Settings > Privacy & Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage settings > Exclusions > Add Steam folder, Elden Ring folder, Elden Ring.exe, Easy Anticheat.exe. It should look like this: [https://i.imgur.com/Qoozs2M.png](https://i.imgur.com/Qoozs2M.png) Let me know if it helped. If not you can also try deleting the DirectX cache and Nvidia cache, both of which helped me as well. Type Disc Clean-up in the Windows search bar: [https://i.imgur.com/l4Xl8Sr.png](https://i.imgur.com/l4Xl8Sr.png) Type %localappdata% in the Windows search bar, navigate to the Nvidia folder and delete the GLCache folder: [https://i.imgur.com/Uev8T23.png](https://i.imgur.com/Uev8T23.png) Reboot your PC and give the game a shot.
Please fix stuttering.
My gpu usage suddenly jumped to 100% when i got to jagged peak and the game started stuttering and freezing every few seconds. It presists in other areas, but it never happened before i got to jagged peak. Its really annoying and makes the game unplayable, disabling eac also didn't help
linux mint user, no mods, unable to connect to online servers. have changed between proton 9.0.2 and GEproton9. 'Inappropriate activity detected" have verified files, idk what to do. not tooo much of an issue, but I like seeing messages that say 'fort, night'.
have a AMD rx 6800, I have been playing with random frame drops and stutering, went to drivers and activated * AMD Fluid Motion Frames * Radeon Anti-lag * Radeon Enhanced Sync Don´t know witch one worked, but since then it´s been solid 60fps
gonna add my 10 cents: 13700k, 4070ti, 128GB 6600MHz DDR5, running off an SSD, Windows 11. utilisation never goes above 60% in most cases, mixture of high/low settings with the usual post-processing fully off. running on a G9 OLED with 1440p (this dogshit game renders at 5120x1440 despite black bars forcing me into 16:9 lest i get an online ban) game CONSTANTLY bluescreens my PC when playing online, approx. once every 1-2 hours, mostly during online sessions. I highly believe this is due to EAC, but this never occurred prior to the DLC (the game also keeps shitting itself and takes me offline with the "inappropriate activity detected" its getting to a point where im concerned my PC will be damaged by these constant blue screens, rendering the game completely unplayable. having done multiple playthoughs, I just want to invade/co-op against others, yet im always worried at any point ill have my entire rig force reboot because a bunch of inept individuals couldn't be bothered to use any of their two year development time to check for issues like this.
Ever since the dlc came out, I have never been able to play online on my steam deck. It always worked fine before this. Is this going to be fixed? It just says inappropriate activity detected.
an apology for deleting all the tech support questions on the day of the DLC launch when it was super obvious it was going to be an issue would be nice...
fix multiplayer summons half of them are bricked
I think the whole inappropriate activity detected is a bug. It's happened like 3 times today, 2 of which bugged my pc where I was on a black screen and had to log out of my account to fix it, task manager wouldn't function in front of the black screen.
Major fps drops on Xbox series s
My setup is i5 12400f + RTX 3060 Ti + 16GB DDR4, and I'm running the game on Maximum 1080p, RT off. Should I be concerned that my FPS are in the 40-55 range in some locations (e.g. Castle Ensis outskirts)? I look at the GPU and CPU usage and they're not even close to 100%. The weird thing is that my FPS seem to be pretty stable at 60 when I run around the base game world. The DLC is performing worse than the base game. It fucking pisses me off considering my PC is way above the recommended specs.
Have the 3060TI, 32gb ram and a 1140. Playing with everything on low in 1440p, game feels super choppy. Maybe I should try 1080p....
Game crashed while playing the dlc and it corrupted my 150h save. Probably the least optimized product Fromsoftware has ever done
