Resolution/Full Screen is Broken, Please Help

[DecadentBard]

When I launch the game it immediately turns into a small square in the top left corner of my screen. When I go into the graphics settings, it's set to Full Screen at 800x450. When I look at the resolution options, it only has 800x600. When I try to switch it to Windowed or Borderless Full Screen it automatically changes the resolution to 1920x1080 (which is my monitor's resolution), but before the game adjusts, it freezes for several seconds, then resets itself back to Full Screen 800x450.

I've tried several troubleshooting options, including changing the xml config file, verifying the install, alt+enter, making sure all my drivers are up to date, etc.

I'm running an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, 32GB 3200MHz RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT.

Hold alt, and Press enter when it's doing the fullscreen thing, then adjust the settings in the window, and then hold Alt and press Enter again.

Alt+enter is a shortcut to change any full screen app, into windowed, and vice versa, and in the past doing this has fixed similar issues for me.

this problem is caused at problems with the Display profiles in your GPU driver. there is simply no profile for 60Hz for the resolution you want.

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying. My monitor is set to 144hz refresh rate. Do I need to make it 60? Is there any way to fix this issue? I didn't have this problem with my previous computer, and that used the same monitor I'm using now.

this game only supports 60 Hz in fullscreen without a 60 Hz profile for the resolution you want you simply can not choose a other resolution than your monitor native accept with 60 Hz (800x600 corner).

for what ever reason no 60 Hz profile for the resolution you want exists at your GPU driver settings.

why at your old computer 60Hz profiles where installed, i can not check or know, fact is this game is capped to 60 Hz and it let you only choose a resolution if a 60 Hz profile exists.

Update:
For unrelated reasons I had to repair my Windows install, and that fixed many other problems my computer was having, including this Elden Ring bug. It's weird and frustrating because like I stated above, I was on a brand new system I already manually installed Windows on the first time, but I guess something went wrong during setup or something so a Windows Repair fixed it.

This problem can be fixed by deleting your graphics config file in the following directory C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Roaming\EldenRing

I'm having this same issue except I cannot find the files or anything to fix. I'm very not technically savy lol, I have spent the last 8hrs Trying to get into the game

[DarkOutX]

I had an opposite problem that game somehow forced on x1.5 resolution lol
Fixed by using NVIDIA App:
manually set Broderless and correct resolution there (arrow near Optimize btn) and clicked Optimize

There is not an issue with full screen anymore, but it seems to have killed my game. It now runs at far worse frame rates - about 30 instead of 60 - and I am experiencing terrible stutter to the point where combat is near unplayable. It solved one problem but seems to have created another. Has anyone else experienced this problem and has a fix for it? I'd redownload the game, but I'd likely loose progress entirely on a level 195 character with Seamless Coop.
