Elden Ring doesn't respond on launch!

[Ferraz Das Mil Vidas]

As a try to launch Elden Ring it simply doesn't give any signal of life. Straight to not responding. It appears a white screen with the ER mouse and then black screen and it just stays there!

I've already verified the files, reinstall, making it start with windowed screen. I have everything up to date, drivers, adapters, windows itself, you name it. Please help! I'm getting desperate.

These are my PC specs:

Motherboard ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WI
CPU AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core
GeForce RTX 4070Ti
32GB RAM G.SKILL Flare X5
SSD M.2 2280 Kingston KC3000 2TB 3D TLC
CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE RGB Liquid CPU
PSU ATX 3.0 MSI MPG A85

Monitor: LG UltraGear 27GP850P-B.BEU

OS: Windows 10 Pro

Nope still the same problem. Although this sfc /scannow somehow found corruped files and it fixed them, so at least i have that going for me which is nice!

IT'S ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WORKING!

At the end what worked for me was doing a system restore. Don't use the option that downloads it from the Cloud. Use the other one.

PRAISE THE SUN!
