Hey deckers!
I grabbed Elden ring in the summer sale, but it keeps freezing and crashing after some time. I found a few posts including Github - all of them are about 2 month old that seem to have similar behavior.
I was wondering if anyone here has the same issue and maybe even a workaround & fix. I’ve tried a few things, but nothing worked so far.
Elden Ring (and only Elden Ring) freezes after about 5-30 minutes of playtime. Had a longer session once - but only once.
Tested steps:
- Same behavior in Desktop-mode or Game-mode.
- Same behavior when Limiting Wattage
- Same behavior turning of the new fan curve
- Same behavior when Easy Anti Cheat is disabled (launching elden ring.exe and creating steamID.txt)
- Same behavior with multiple Proton versions (including GE)
- Same behavior after deleting protonfiles
- Same behavior after reinstalling the game
- Same behavior after verifying files
- Temperature of the device is normal
OS 3.4.8, No Beta Hardware is about 6 month old, no other issues. Almost any game runs without issues.
Sorry, I don’t have any advice, just commiserating. When I played Elden Ring on Windows, this was a constant problem that seems to have no real fix. The game only really runs well on consoles. There were a bunch of “fixes” floating around, but nothing notably improved performance for me.
