Title. Game otherwise works great. Windows-using friends say it works for them. Networking is also normal on computer.

I initially thought it could be anticheat related so I disabled mangohud and made sure Easy AntiCheat was launching etc.

But no cigar, the game loads and errors out like in the pic. :

It seems to do so immediately, too, like it's not even trying to connect?

Tried it on my Deck too, same error.

Do not have a Windows PC to try it on, but it's really confusing me, because it ran perfectly until today. :P

I'm about to leave to work so can't check but I had to add a file with the DLC name into the game folder and then it worked for me.

What is the file name? Might as well try that.

Aparently It's called DLC.bdt and should be put into the steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/game/ directory.

Found this info on protondb so I can't verify myself, as I have the dlc
