For anyone getting the 'untrusted system file' error here's how your fix it : 1- Rename the "start_protected_game.exe" to something else (it could be anything) 2- Make a copy of your "eldenring.exe" 3- Rename the copy to "start_protected_game.exe" that way steam will open the original exe instead of the anticheat one PS : This only works offline
but i want to play with my friends online, i have ER on steam and i need to desactivated the EAC for run the game because the famous white screen crash bug, any solution?
please help me your fix worked with me but the white screen is infinitly loading it it did not crash but im stuck at the white loading screen and i cant enter the game please help me i subscribed and i will like all of yours videos if you helped me
is it safe? I try offline and it works for me, I want to play it with steam connecting to internet but I am afraid of getting banned. When u start the game, did you play with your steam open or not? Thank you very much
Its rare to find an actual useful video on RUclips nowadays and not some clickbait I cant begin to thank you enough for this. Straight to the point and the fix. Thank you man.
Just wanted to let everyone know of a solution if you have been struggling up until now, like me... I was literally browsing all folders individually and deleting anything I didn't need anymore. What ended up fixing it for me was that I simply deleted any remaining files that were left inside the "Epic games" folder that I stumbled upon. To be clear I uninstalled the launcher and any other applications like the launcher years ago, so those were just some leftover files. Which for some reason caused the white screen crashes for me. The game runs properly now, without having to deal with any workarounds... It boggles my mind that this caused a problem... Just some random files that were left behind... Hopefully this information helps someone out there. GL
I just tried this and the game boots up instantly. I think it has something to do with the DirectX launcher in the files and Anti-Cheat. You're a legend! Nearly going to refund it on Steam
@@0nYxJester Awesome, good to hear. I was pretty much in the same boat, was struggling to get it to work for a week, and would have refunded it aswell, since it didn't seem to be a priority for Fromsoft to fix this particular issue.
I had given up on getting this game to work and then this FINALLY FIXED IT! Can't thank you enough. Remember everyone, you'll have to disable anti-cheat for this to work.
Thank you my friend! I had been wanting to play elden ring for soooo long but it just wouldn't work. I had to download it two times, taking about 12 hours with my slow internet. I was about to give up but your video helped fix my issue, I sincerely thank you.
Worked, thanks. I did 10 other solutions back to back but this was the only one that helped. Doesnt allow multiplayer but I only like playing single player anyway. But a heads up for others.
MY GUY I SUBSCRIBED AND I LIKED THE VIDEO. YOU DESERVE TO BECOME WELL KNOWN. BEST VIDEO EVER!!! IT WORKED !!! thanks for being responsive and actually answering to comments, that helped a lot
Thanks so much man! I've actually got a 3080 GPU and I've just started to get this problem (the game was working fine last week). I can live with only being able to play offline for now. This is such a huge help thank you!!
Dude, I did not have this bug at launch but now that the DLC is about to come out I wanted to play it to leave my character at the entrance and then I couldn't, you just saved me so hard! Thank you
Ok so I just tried your fix and it worked! You just got a new sub because of this man! I have tried all the other generic BS fixes that lets face it, done fix 99 percent of people that have this problem! I wondered if it had something to do with the Direct X11 to 12 thing! Thanks again!
I tried playing Armored Core 6, and was having the same issue. This fix (With the Armored Core 6 files instead of Elden Ring) worked. I have a NVidia GTX 960 by the way.
So excited to play the game after it was fixed by the steps on this video but really took time to post this comment and leave a review to the uploader. Thanks men! Such a big help.
I don’t normally comment much on videos but guys it worked. 2024 January 20th it’s working. Thank you… now I get to see what all this hype about Elden ring is
Ok i did it: i use your method (very helpful by the way) plus i rename the file "start_protected_game" in ==> "start_protected_game_1" and copy the app "elden ring" and rename the copy from "elden ring" to ==> "start_protected_game" ...this way worked for me.... sadly my pc apparently isn't good enough to run elden ring (i have 16gb RAM but only the 960M) so my pfs are very low...i think i won't play the game with this pc...too slow
@@lorenzotroilo3597 Posso risponderti in italiano? Comunque facendo esattamente quello che è mostrato nel video ho ottenuto un crash ancora prima di arrivare alla schermata bianca...perchè mi diceva che il file rinominato era "untrusted" ...così ho fatto quello che ho scritto nel mio commento precedente: ho fatto una copia di "elden ring" (la applicazione) e la copia l'ho rinominata "start_protected_game"...in questo modo ha bypassato la protezione ed è partito...come ho scritto però il problema ora è che ho un framerate davvero basseo purtroppo...impossibile giocare così
Just want to share my fix after over 2weeks of not being able to play since buying the game. My fix was installing the game on a faster M.2 drive. I was using an older SSD with Read speed: 530MB/s and write speed 290MB/s. I upgraded to an M.2 with Read 3500MB/s and write 3000MB/s and it worked The minimum spec requirements don't mention read/write speeds of your primary drive. So I just thought I would share to help out others.
Thanks so much, first it didn't work but when I followed the steps in the pinned comment it worked! Thanks so much!!! IT'S FUCKING TIME FOR ELDEN RING!!!
@@C0gislayer yes what worked for me was after copying the DX files to the game bin folder, renaming the anti cheat to anything, and then copying the elden ring game exe and renaming it to what the anti cheat was named. Then it’ll work and u can play in offline mode. Still ducking ridiculous how players are forced to literally crack their own game
Im having this problem too! I read ur instructions but it wasnt quite understandable to me, so i might delete n forget about this game. I hate these kinda games that let u down b4 even launching!! So disappointed..
after 110+ hours this problem occured. I dont even have an old gpu, It is really stupid that this amazing game that came out two years ago still has silly problems like these. Maybe samoday they fix the optimization
HELP PLEASE!!!! what if i dont have the core file? i think this is my problem, but when i go to copy the files it only shows the d3d12 not the core one
All guys here just uninstall any vpn or app that has overlay feature like epic games or gog anything like that i just did that i literally uninstalled everything I didn't need or that's not windows app and it worked my game just started

I don't have anything named "start_protected_game.exe" it's just "start_protected_game" same with the eldenring file. Any tips?

It worked, I didn't expect it to work.
Thank you, only thing that worked out of all the fixes I've seen.
not only did it not fix the problem, it added a new one. thanks
same very dumb video

Sadly this didn't do anything for my HD 6950. Followed the guide exactly, yet still getting the white screen of death: (
Thank you very much, I had the game on Steam for over a year without being able to play it. I really appreciate it, you are an angel who came to earth

This actually worked, following the video plus the pinned comment, my game finally started up right away!
Thank you very much good sir you're a legend , can't believe this 9 years old laptop still running AAA games
Works like a charm, if you dont have 1 of those 2 .dll files just download, paste in system32 and do the proces.
Did it work for you, can i ask you which version of the game is installed?
@@freenox1797 yes it did, plaza verzion.
@@petarodrljin7430 Okey, but I meant did you update the game, and if so, than which update?
@@freenox1797 no didnt update, hope this will work for you too
It doesn't work, I still have a white screen
same
Remember, if your elden ring copy must have the exact name of the start protected game, if it doesnt have exe in the end dont put it
It just worked fine for me ❤ thanks u
There are you RUclipsrs and then there are heroes. You are my hero!
my computer uses gtx 950m (not enough configuration to boot) and after following the instructions it worked! thank you❤
BRO, AFTER 2 MONTHS OF SEARCHING AND TRYING EVERYTHING THAT I SAW, I NEVER FIXED IT...
BUT YOU DID, HOLY SHHH, THANK U SO MUCH MAN
Amazing! Worked perfectly. Thank you Mr Morgan.
Yo, big thank you lad. My rig took a dump and I'd been wanting to play this on my old 960m, works just fine.
I cant believe this actually worked, thanks bro
So excited to play the game after it was fixed by the steps on this video but really took time to post this comment and leave a review to the uploader. Thanks men! Such a big help.
You're the best, thank you very much from the bottom of all my heart.
I had given up hope, until RUclips suggested this video. Great job! My GTX 780 and I thank you. ;-)
Love you brooo, works like a charm !!
I thought I won't be able to play Elden Ring at first
You have my deepest gratitude!!

Thank you so much bro❤️ helped my gtx 780m ❤️
TYSM!
ARMORED CORE 6 crashed on my laptop, but trying this solved it!
This is the real fix for me. Thank you tarnished!
It didn't work for me: now instead of white screen, the game says that D3D12_original is "untrusted"
Ok i did it: i use your method (very helpful by the way) plus i rename the file "start_protected_game" in ==> "start_protected_game_1" and copy the app "elden ring" and rename the copy from "elden ring" to ==> "start_protected_game" ...this way worked for me.... sadly my pc apparently isn't good enough to run elden ring (i have 16gb RAM but only the 960M) so my pfs are very low...i think i won't play the game with this pc...too slow
