Crashes make the game unplayable since new patch

[bear police]

Having constant crashes to desktop since the new patch and DLC.

I'm regularly getting crashes that I have never had after over 360+ hours of this game since release. Currently at the blackgaol knight area and it cannot get past about 30 secs before crashing. Sometimes it's immediately as I enter, sometimes its when casting or dodging, sometimes it's before the loading screen finishes after I die. I can't find an obvious trigger here which will cause the crash but it's completely unplayable. The performance of the game has also completely tanked since the update.

One crash that is 100% reproducible is when opening up the 'system' menu in game, it immediately crashes the game without any extra input. This happens on all save files, in the SotE area or not. Accessing the system menu from the main menu however does not cause this issue. This means it's impossible to quit the game normally as you can't even get to that screen without a crash!

Another 100% reproducible crash is travelling to the roundtable hold (post fire giant) which causes a crash just after the loading screen as the player gets up. Dropping the graphics quality to low and ray tracing off allows this to load (so I can finally escape this crash loop) but still does not solve the crash on opening the system menu or any of the random crashes during gameplay.

I have run this game with no problems for over 360 hours since release so far and it's only this patch which has broken it.

I suspect it's possibly an AMD graphics card issue - I have an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT with the latest drivers. I've obviously also tried verifying game files, restarting, etc.

Is anyone else having this issue? If there are a few of us with a similar problem perhaps it can be something to be raised as an issue to be fixed on either fromsoft's or AMD's end?

The crash on selecting 'system' in game, and on random crashes gives this error report from event viewer:

Same Issue, Same error Code, different Hardware, i9-14900KF, 3080 TI.
Did a DDU clean driver reinstall and reinstalled the game nothing changes.

Looks like a new Nvidia/ATI driver may solve this issue, or a new patch, but who am I kidding, PC Playerbase ist not important for From Software.

Haven't had a single crash, this is obviously something wrong on your end.

Цитата допису -Tr¡Ρ-:

LOL well there's your problem, that's what you get for cheaping out.

Цитата допису -Tr¡Ρ-:

lol outmatched by what, exactly? Here's an idea: set it on fire, to match the money that you wasted buying something you don't know how to handle. I'm guessing you probably clicked on some pr0n email and now you've got a bitcoin miner or some stupid crap.

Long story short the game isn't the problem and neither is anything else about your system, you had to actively go out of your way to f*** it up to get to this point. Again -- learn to maintain your hardware and not be stupid. If you'd like I can trade you my PC from 2019 that's perfectly configured for your mess of bleeps and bloops.

Nevermind the fact that the dlc has been having widely reported performance issues between Steam and Reddit, there's always the risk of bringing it up and getting basement mongrels whose only skill in life is adult legos (aka PC building) to use it as an opportunity to jerk themselves off over anyone experiencing anything they haven't. It's cute how this guy gets tripped up at assumptions being made of him only to throw the same ♥♥♥♥ back at him like monkeys do. I would probably do the same if I had no other source of joy in life and still had the emotional maturity of an autistic 8 year old who gets bullied for smelling like piss in public with no other outlet than to take it out on strangers. Praying for you <3

After a week from release, neither AMD or FROM has released updated drivers or patches yet, and i still can't play it online, and it crashes all the time, i even tried to update the motherboard bios without success

I'm on a RTX 2080, these are some possible fixes that I found:

Rolling back nvidia drivers to a previous version manually, before nvidia updated drivers for the elden ring dlc release. This fix did not solve my stuttering but fixed it for 2 of my friends.

Another possible fix (weird one) is to turn off bluetooth. You can test if this is causing you to lag by connecting/reconnecting bluetooth peripherals in-game. This actually worked for me, turning off bluetooth made me go from 20fps in some areas to 60 with barely any dips, so same as base game.

Third (risky) solution is to just disable EAC. Though apparently this did nothing for some people so ymmv

The AMD drivers update already let me play
It no longer crashes when opening the system menu c:

Still the same, here ....

[Z]

Still the same here too with the new drivers. I'm at the first site of grace of Elphael, the game crashes in less than a minute, sometimes it even reboots my PC...

[Vana]

I havent had any crashes but did have one freeze that lasted a few seconds. Using driver 23.11.1. Use ddu and try that version.

[Daynov]

The patch they released before the dlc completely bricked the game. The performance is so much worse now.

[UberVagabond]

I found a fix for myself after a week trying everything possible, maybe can help some of you... Turnout the problem was my monitor's refresh rate, i was running above 60Hz (120Hz), the game was stuttering then freezing and then crashing to desktop. Now at 60Hz i have experienced no more crashes, but some of the random stuttering remains, not the ideal but a little better now.

For me, boot is so long, and 30s freeze in game. The update is so trash

This is the problem i have. Never used to do this

ooh that's good to know. What about the summoning signs? For me, I always crashed when inspecting a summoning sign the same way when trying to open the system menu.

Edit. Confirmed it no longer crashes when summoning too! I can finally play the game.

[[se®] Snake]

unfortunately no change for me with 24.6.1... i heard that someone solved by setting the monitor refresh rate to 60hz... i'll have to try...
