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.
