Elden Ring causes network adapter to not work

[shinshoka]

When I start the game and load into the world, after a few minutes it causes my network adapter to stop working lose all internet access. I am playing on offline mode and it happens every time.

The game played fine when I played it on release but when going back to it this issue keeps happening. I tried everything I could find on this issue and it is still happening. Please help

Already updated everything to the latest version, even checked the Intel website for drivers

I get similar on my power-line Ethernet adapter sometimes.

I mean I get drop outs sometimes but it's WAY more common on Elden Ring. It's always like their anti cheat disables the network adapter if there is some small disconnect.

Probs just coincidence.

Try to deactivate the powersaving at the device.

Anticheat can not disable something, it just send a call to any inactive Device with specific device ID's since some weeks now a lot of devices have wrong device ID's and get triggered by the systems checks, most manufacturers have updated the drivers and Firmware but there are also some where the device will never get fixed.

Also some devices have faulty powersaving functions since a Windows update and turn off without the need.

Checking the Windows event viewer could show if the driver restarted or a System fault cause this.

Since the game has no direct connection to the hardware Layer you should check the event viewer what is going on.

is it everytime. if not, this my issue is just old wiring in my house, as that is a common cause of ethernet drop out with ethernet adapters. i am going wireless soon, maybe.

ah so it's just pure coincidence. thanks.
i have no idea how anti cheat works so that cleared up everything for me.

I remember having this problem like 10+ years ago, where opening up an online game would cause my computer to lose connection with my router and force me to restart everything. The problem was that our router was 10+ years old and on the verge of death and replacing it solved the issue. Not sure if this will help you.
