i found a fix i had to flush my DNS and then register it again. heres the explaination.

For those wanting to do this, as it is more than likely the solution.

Close the game and exit steam if steam is running

click on the windows Start Button

type run

select the listed program for run

a command prompt window will open, note if you need you can "run as administrator" if needed as an option on the right when you have run available

in the command prompt window type the following

ipconfig /flushdns

hit enter

you will be presented a result, if something says you need permissions then do the run as administrator option

now you will type the next following line in the command prompt, note this is not necessary but makes DNS update now instead of 15 minutes from now

ipconfig /registerdns

hit enter

Now you can close the windows you opened and start Elden Ring again.



So what is DSN, its a way for your computer to find places on the internet, everything on the internet has an Internet Protocol address aka IP Address. This is a number that makes now sense so we silly humans remember words better than names and that is where DNS comes into play. DNS (Domain Naming System) places a name on that number for us to remember. Its like the address you live at, the address is unique and the postal delivery service knows if something has your name then it belongs to your address, same for the internet. Hope that helps and DNS is most likely the cause for this issue not anti-virus.

New fix! What worked for me was this:

- Right-click the clock on the Taskbar

- Choose Adjust date/time

- Toggle the On Switch for Set Time Automatically

- Toggle the On Switch for Set Time Zone Automatically

- Click Sync Now

Hopefully this helps. My problem occurred when I moved house and the WIFI changed.
