i got 47 hrs into the game, tried literally every thing known to mankind and still can’t get it to run again, i am in severe pain and dare i say on the verge of going hollow
@@prior2915 a month after posting this, they released a patch and i was able to play again, didn’t experience any crashes or frame drops, beat the game 6 times after that lol
After the forced update for Elden Ring the game would crash while playing randomly and it had gotten to a point where i would load into a boss arena and game would crash, same spot every time. Verifying files found two missing files. I have been able to play normally since then. THANK YOU!
I just turned mine off and the game works again TY very much! (i also did the -dx11 thing in the video and havent changed that back so maybe it helps????)
None of these work for me, neither on my desktop rig (W11, 8700k, 1080Ti, 16Gb) nor on my (W10, underspec'd) laptop. With every attempt the past couple days, the game crashed on pretty much every screen leading to the main screen, and whenever I click anywhere, it freezes and crashes. Quite annoying.
@@abdullahf9044 I’ve just played for 2hr no crash! I think it was the HDD it was running on. I went to steam right clicked Elden ring and clicked move to another hard drive. That took ages but it appears to have worked. Guessing the other hdd wasn’t up to scratch or something it works fine for everything else but maybe not fast enough for ER?
relaited to the controller i think , ive try it the game witout it work just fine the moment i plug it again same sh** it freeze then crash after 2 3 or 5min of play
The only thing that fix the white/black screen/closing at startup for me was unplugging my usb controller. Simple as that. Although, i was'nt able to figure out how to play with the controller, since when i plug the controller with the game already running, the game just closes automatically. I have a feeling that it is a controller driver problem, so i'll try to install another one and run the game again. Hope this helps someone.
Steam verification fixed my problem.. thumbs up.. you would think the game will keep itself updated when it is UPDATING THE GAME.. after doing the verification.. the game was missing about 4+ GB of files that had to download.. no wonder it was crashing randomly at loading screens..
When using the graphics config method I'm missing the bottom two files. After a steam verification it told me I have all the files installed so I don't know why I'm missing these.
@BabyKingIII I'm actually never managed to fix it but I think it might have had something to do with my computer not having the specs to play/install certain parts. I recently got a really nice gaming laptop that had no issues file or otherwise. Wish I could be more help but the best advice I have is to check your specs and compare against Elden Ring's minimum
this might help you guys , when i block all time the game frizes and unplayable until 3, 5 seconds stops freezes so if u play with controller disconect the control then lunch the game, ingame conect the controller and no more game freez

1st off love playing this game, with 80+ hrs played on Steam... The only problem i have after the last patch i get " Corrupt Update Files " when i try to download / update the game... I've reinstalled Steam then Elden Ring a few times & tried a few other so called fixes , but nothing is working 🤕😓😫😡.... Has anyone else had the same problem, if so what did you do too fix it, or is there a fix for it !!!! 😡🤬🤬... Please let me know, thanks in advance...
Guys, my solution was to let it run as administrator and turn off virus protection before launching the game (windows defender) When you are done playing you can turn on virus protection
It should generate on first launch (afaik) and launches after. Check Documents for Elden Ring, as well as Music (for some reason I saw someone with the folder here...)
@@TroubleChute the problem we're having is that Elden Ring is not opening, thus that doc will never be generated. That's what 'crash on startup' means for a lot of Elden Ring players
So here’s a weird issue. For me there is no graphicsconfig. That entire secrion is empty. It’s like steam hasn’t been installing it (And I’ve installed this game 3 damn times now). How the hell is this happening?
my game boots up just fine, i hit continue, i get the loading screen, when loading bar is finished the game closes. sometimes i get a frame where i've loaded in the game but it freezes and eventually closes. this is so strange
Ever since the DLC came out, which I have not purchased yet, nothing works. The game launches, goes to a white screen, then a black screen, stays there until i clisk on the screen and then stops responding. If I wait long enough it eventually launches the game long enough to click a few screens before it completely freezes and I have to force quit out.
have you fpund a fix? mine starts, blck screens then back to steam...ive tried EVERYTHING unistall, reboot, windows setting graphic update etc. i can play bg3 at max opimization .its only elden ring and xenoverse 2 that i cant play
I can load up the game just fine, but every time I get to the character creation stage the game crashes without fail. Does anyone know anything about this issue?
@@oedreycanonizado6199 ok so i fixed my issue kinda I can play, but it still crashes every now and then so I dont have a concreate fix and im not sure which thing I did fixed it becuase i just did all the usual suspects.
I did that and for some reason my games starts up now.....could it be that they both use the "easy anticheat" and were somehow interfering with each other?
nothing worked at all i lunch the game the anti cheat says waiting for game loads up white screen i have the game cursour and if i move it just says its not responding
