Multiplayer Not Consistently Working

[hyphe.ab]

Is anyone else having issues when they try to summon a friend, that you have to quit the game and relaunch multiple times for it to work? We have tried all the tricks, checking for game, software and system updates, restarting our computers, changing passwords, removing passwords, restarted our internet, turned off then back on network play, etc. This has been happening since the latest patch and its driving us crazy. If you have had this issue and found a solid solution please let me know!

The multiplayer is 100% p2p based. If you have multiplayer issues something is wrong with the hosts internet.

Yeah we thought that was the inital case, we actually live together and our network is running perfect for everything else. :( The summons aren't even coming through for us. I can use a furcalling finger and he can place down his summon and i won't see it and vice versa. Only work around is that we have to restart our game over and over and over and just keep trying till it works then rinse and repeat as needed, which is really time consuming. We will try a router restart again just to be safe but not too sure that is what is causing it.

Yeah same here, I can no longer summon my buddy after some patches. We got a good way through the game, and now we can't finish it together. Our internet is both 400mbps during tests, so not the issue at all.

I don't know what to say, the issue is wide spread. FormSoft hasn't addressed it yet as far as I know, I hope it doesn't take months before it's working again.

Edit: Just tested it, not even strangers can summon me without connection errors.

Yeah we can get together but it takes FOREVER after many restarts. My boyfriend said he saw on Reddit that someone contacted Namco Bandai the devs know of the issue and are planning on having it solved before the next patch, which I hope is sooner than later. this is the link to that discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/tpd3mv/cant_summon_friends_help/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

We have run through almost all the game so far together and don't want to proceed without each other.

Thanks for the information, I really hope they fix it. I am in the same boat here, I made this character specifically so I can beat the game with my brother. We are resorting to new characters for the time being.

This 110% incorrect, there is an issue with overall connectivity, especially so after 1.3.

They have actually been pretty quick to release patches all things considered. I submitted my own support ticket to Bandai Namco detailing the issues I was having, this way it will put a little more emphasis on the issue. I can post what they say when they get back to me, maybe they will have a more definitive answer.

Multiplayer has been down for me all day. Internet is fine, messages are fine, just can’t summon or invade

The online is dog sh*t and no one can defend it

This is their 7th game and this is a brand new title in 2022. The devs did us dirty
