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.

Did you disable ray tracing in the settings? what graphics settings are you using?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

yea ray tracing is off. (can you even turn that on on the deck in this case? Not sure.)

settings are some custom medium settings.

but same issue with low or high. I tried various resolutions from stamp size to native deck... no changes.

I found someone on github who may have the same issue and a bit more knowledge than me. I've added a few logfiles there.

And the screenshots of my settings ingame.
