FIX FOR RESOLUTION CHANGING BUG

[Nioli]

Hi, so you've tried changing your resolution but it freezes and then go back to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ old resolution?
Here is the solution found by user Benjamh :
if you're on win 10 or 11 it should be like this --> go to settings -> system -> display and from there if you scroll down you should find graphics settings
There you should have the option to search for an app, you'll have to add Elden ring to it.
Your Elden ring is by default in your steam folder so here it is on my computer
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game and you should fin eldenring.exe
Add it and then click on it to check the maximum performance.
There you go

I hope it will work for you as it did for me.
I also hope you have a great time with the game and thanks a lot again to Benjamh who gave me that fix.

Make sure to make this visible by adding comments or rewarding it, see ya.

All you have to do is go into your NVIDIA app, go to graphics on the side bar, select elden ring and change the resolution and display mode if the display mode changing is a problem.

Yes, fix your laptop. Or use a pc.
As their solution was basically what laptops have an issue with.
PC's by default don't have that problem.

Uh, laptops are PCs. "PC" is a collection of industry hardware standards, not form factor. The Steamdeck is a PC too.

Laptops tend to have more issues because cheaper models (and even some of the poorly engineered expensive ones) have a poor cooling solution which causes the CPU and / or GPU to thermal throttle. Put a crappy cooler on a desktop CPU and you'll experience the same issues.

On an additional note, laptops with Intel CPUs tend to experience these problems more often because they usually run hotter than their AMD equivalents due to being built on a larger, less efficient process node and with some games and apps, the e-cores can severely interfere with overall performance. The entire point of e-cores is to help the CPU use less power and thus generate less heat, but if the operating system's thread dispatcher isn't properly placing threads on the proper type of cores, you'll get stuttering anyway. However, the fact that all games are ideally supposed to be placed on the more powerful (and power hungry) p-cores instead, at least when the thread dispatcher is functioning properly, a bunch of heat will still be generated and the entire point of the e-cores is mostly nullified.
