Elden Ring does not run when launched.

It tells me that the game wont run with driver signature enforcement off. How do I change the settings when I cant locate the Easy Anti Cheat folder? Is there a setting somewhere within the Steam App?

[dark-breed]

driver signature enforcement is a windows function

makes me wonder what you done to your windows because this feature is standard activated and you have to do some things to constantly deactivate it

[dark-breed]

to activate it
open a command prompt as administrator and run this command

bcdedit /set nointegritychecks off

[arm3n4k]

C:\Users\Avsog>bcdedit /set nointegritychecks off
The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
Access is denied.

This is what I get when I tried entering that command. Is there anything else. Also Im running windows 10.

you have to open the command prompt as administrator

right click at the command prompt and run as administrator

I had done this and also resorted to doing some research on my on being that when I tried what you suggested it only gave me the same error message. The error message reads:

Error Code: 30007 (Easy Anti-Cheat cannot run if Driver Signature Enforcement has been disabled)

When I tried the methods explained on; https://signmycode.com/resources/how-to-enable-and-disable-driver-signature-enforcement, I was still confused because I'm not sure whether or not this is due to having the setting set to on or off since it is so confusing that the setting is written enabled for off and disabled for on. I had attempted Method 2. Are you certain that the Driver Configuration Signature needs to set to disabled? Because I had never disabled it. This just happened when I returned from being away for a while and seems to be either from updating Video Drivers or some other reason.

I even ran bcdedit to make sure it showed "Yes." Might you be able to think of any other possible reason or solution? Because I've already tried all I can find.

Also this only happens when I try to run games within the Steam Library. I wonder is another app interfering or is there a physical way I can reinstall easy anti cheat?

this option has to be set to off because the parameter is called nointegritychecks.

if the problem does not go away there are two options left.

your windows has a infection with a malware or the eac installation is faulty.

the way would be to run a full system check and a eac reinstall.

run a fully system check/repair

open command prompt as administrator

run this command

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

After this is finished

Sfc /scannow

Repair the c++ redistributables

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

do a clean reinstall of eac

delete the 'EasyAntiCheat_EOS' folder in C:\Program Files (x86)

then Use Registry Editor to delete all keys and values that had 'EasyAntiCheat_EOS' to do this search up "REGEDIT" in search.
right-click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Find and look up the term EasyAntiCheat_EOS and delete the whole folder with this name on the left side, search again because there are more of this folder.

then go into elden ring's game files in the game installation folder

delete the easyanticheat folder, verify gamefiles to restore the folder fresh

reboot windows

then go into elden ring's game files in the installation folder and navigate to easyanticheat folder and click on the install_easyanticheat_eos_setup

a prompt will pop up and hit enter

I tried this and it didnt work. There were files in the registry that also didnt let me delete them. What do I do now? I followed your instructions step by step and I still have had the same problem and this time it was taking longer to load the game files. What do I do?

Also this only happens when I run games through the Steam Library as I explained. Would it be a good idea to reinstall Steam and will I have to reinstall my games?

-Actually I tried running it a second time and it ran, thanks man. This time it says "Unable to run in online mode," and it took a while to close when I quit the game. Ill let you know if this changes.

this problem has nothing to do with steam, something with your windows is suspicious i do not think a fresh steam installation would solve all your problems (it is not normal to not be able to delete the EAC registry entries).

add me i would like to check your system deeper with you together.

if it works now but you are unable to connect to online there could be more problems on your system than a faulty eac installation.
