- Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support status is unknown.
Issues unresolved
Random stutter and frame rate drops in open areas
- The game appears to suffer from stuttering-issues, particularly during combat in open world areas, likely caused by background-loading and shader compilation mismanagement.[3][4]
|
Potential fix for stutter and frame rate drops[citation needed]
|
- The game is a DirectX 12 title with no shader precompiling. The game will stutter less the more you play as it saves its shaders on your PC. Note that every time you update your drivers, the shader stutter will begin again.
- Forcing Vsync off in the GPU control panel for the game or globally, substantially reduces stutters at the cost of introducing tearing. Setting Vsync to fast turns it off and reduces tearing to imperceptible levels.
- Disable Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator in your Device Manager. To find this, go to your Control Panel, locate Software devices, Right click Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator and click Disable Device.
- Disable Steam Overlay by Right clicking Elden Ring in your Steam Library, choose Properties, Uncheck Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game.
- The game may occasionally freeze up for several moments at a time when using a controller. Uninstall all Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass games that are located in your Windowsapps folder. Update your Xbox App via the Microsoft Store. Reinstall your games via the advanced installation settings located in the General section to another custom game folder. If the Xbox app does not show the advanced installation settings, uninstall it, then reinstall it from the Microsoft Store. Some games, such as Sea of Thieves, do not currently support advanced installation. If all else fails, uninstall the Xbox app and all Xbox games. Further explanation

Issues fixed
Controller not detected when playing via Steam Input
|
Enable desktop configuration
|
- Go to Steam > Controller > Desktop Configuration to open the Steam Controller Configurator.
- Select 'Browse Configs' and apply a configuration of your choosing to use in-game (note: this will also enable the controller in this configuration on your Desktop)
- Exit the Steam Controller Configurator.
- In your Library, right-click on Elden Ring and select 'Properties...'.
- In the controller category, ensure Steam Input is enabled.
|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
|
Run the game in Borderless Windowed or see Mods to remove 60 Hz limitation
|
White screen with cursor followed by a crash to desktop after launching the game
|
Upgrade to a newer build of Windows
|
- The game seems to require DX12 features not available on some older builds of Windows. Updating to build 21H1 (or at least build 1909 [citation needed]) fixes the issue.
|
Crash at Bandai Namco Logo
|
Turn off Steam Overlay from Steam (Steam->Settings->In-game->Enable steam overlay [OFF])
|
Crashes on AMD Ryzen 3 3200g Radeon 8
|
Enable Radeon Anti-Lag
|
- Launch AMD Software and go to Settings > Graphics.
- Set Radeon Anti-Lag to Enabled.

Middleware
Easy Anti-Cheat
- The embedded Easy Anti-Cheat component prevents unknown third-party tools from injecting themselves in the game. This protection can be disabled, which allows the use of said tools.
- Online play will be disabled when Easy Anti-Cheat is disabled.
- At launch included version of Easy Anti-Cheat was not compatible with CET, which is enabled by default on Windows 11 and some Windows 10 configurations with Zen3 (Ryzen 5000+) and Intel 11th Gen+ CPUs.[5] This should have been fixed with 1.03 game update.
|
Use Elden Ring EAC Toggler
|
- This tool will make
start_protected_game.exe launch eldenring.exe, so the latest game version will always be used and Easy Anti-Cheat will be disabled no matter how you launch the game.
|
Run through eldenring.exe[6]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\game\.
- Create
steam_appid.txt and write 1245620 inside the file. Don't forget to save it.
- Run the game through
eldenring.exe. It will launch directly and still have full integration with Steam.
Notes
- Optionally, add
eldenring.exe as a non-Steam game or create a shortcut on your desktop.
