i have 700+ hours and crashed maybe 10 times, if even that
not everybody has the same experience on PC, thats the beauty of PC gaming
who knows whats wrong in your case ... maybe the code is truely is wonky, maybe your motherboard sucks, maybe you have malware you dont know of and anticheat has an allergic reaction ... could be literally anything

Owned and played since launch. I had serious stuttering issues up until patch 1.04 released. No longer stutters. Zero crashes on Windows 10 Pro. One hang due to EAC on Pop!OS 22.04 (Linux) though no crashes there either.

Post a Windows Event Viewer crash log.

Game crashes at least once a day for me and I exceed the recommended specs, although I am a no lifer and might be playing 10 times longer per session.

I have noticed the game crash when a player connects occasionally. Are you playing with friends or using the taunter's tongue when it crashes?

And how do you locate the event log in question?

666hrs and 1 crash while f in around with the face creator^^

Good luck. Its more likely to be pebcak which is embarrassing.

[nfinite.recursion]

Win + R
Type "eventvwr"
Windows Logs -> Application (Left Pane)
Find (Right Pane)
Type "Elden Ring" (no quotes)

It should find at least one crash event. Be sure to click "Find Next" to cycle through the events to ensure that the exception code is the same for all of them. If not, be sure to note them and copy / paste them in your next post.

As a side note, don't place too much stock in system requirements. Not meeting them doesn't cause crashes. ER can run on an Athlon 64 with 8GB RAM and a DX12 GPU. It won't run well, but it will run.

from what ive read

it may be EAC all along

I experience an occasional crash still but I should say there wasn't a single multiplayer disconnect since i resumed playing after 1.07. Even with latent af players. I saw someone in the forums saying that the 2 minutes disconnect was removed but they were not able to provide source.

[ProestUnicorn]

Haven't crashed once for 70h, after reaching end of the capital, been crashing every now and then for no reason :d

[Tinfist]

I've only had 3 crashes since the game was released.
I noticed that the game tends to crash when recently updated or playing an old save file that used a different version maybe?
Also the game it has never been well optimized, it continues to give me performance problems even today with a 3060....

I've had several infrequent crashes while playing. My specs aren't great, but what helped me reduce the infrequent crashes to infrequent second of freezes before the game catching up was enabling XMP (or DOCP for AMD) in my BIOS to let my RAM work at top performance:

People blame the game for problems that so many players don’t have.
I have close to 400h in and the game works fine on my older already PC. No sttuters, no crashes and 1440p60 performance on Radeon 5700xt.

I’m personally very happy how polished the game is.

every crash of this game create a windows event log and this is pointing to the cause of the crash, so far there are some things everyone has to do if this game crashes:

1. verify windows files (open cmd as administrator and run sfc /scannow), this game is using many windows internal functions and a problems there is only effecting elden ring, no other game and most of the existing software on this planet.

2. verfiy game files, restart windows, verify game files again (sometimes one of the compressed textures are damaged and slip through the verify so there is also the option to reinstall the game completly to fix problems)

if none of this is working you have to post your crash logs to let ppl like me analyse this log to give you informations where to search for the crash cause.

a little help how to use the eventvwr:

did you have separate file save from manual backup? ever replace the original because the FS server compare that with their saved data in cloud. the game doesnt want to emphasis you to do disaster backup, only steam cloud is allowed

copy your save file to different folder, play the game, quit, then overwrite the original with the same file from that folder, play the game again

voila, enjoy the random crash
