Elden Ring straight up does not work on [some] PCs
Submitted by twovests in killallgames (edited )
People in r/EldenRing are defending this, saying you just have to do some of the following. These aren't jokes:
- Verify game files
- Disconnect your keyboard and then reconnect it
- Download this file from Google Drive and put it in your folders
- Uninstall Epic Games Launcher
- Force Steam input for controller
- Uninstall vJoy
- Go into the Nvidia control panel. Go to your windows bar and search "graphics". Click on "Graphics Settings". Choose desktop app and click "browse". Search through your drive for the game files and set the options to "High performance". Start the game. Also turn off Steam overlay.
- so much more bullshit
I'm sure a fix will come out, but it'll go on sale by then. I feel pretty burnt on this The first time I bought into hype for a non-Nintendo AAA game, and it's literally unplayable :(
EDIT: clarify, not all PCs, but several (mine included) it is literally unplayable

aside from some stuttering (likely poorly optimized shader caching) the game works fine for me and several people i know and i'm having a blast. i'd say my pc specs are about mid, cpu is on the weak side. a game this big and complicated it's unsurprising that there are issues with some configurations and Gamers are known to be a little obsessive about things.
