Game crash when luring in invaders

[Maximvs]

I need help. My game crashes, but only when luring in invaders. Possibly when an invader invades, without the taunter's tongue.

The bug started when a hacker bricked my save about 2 weeks ago. He invaded my game, then used a hack to kill plenty of bosses instantly. My character went through a lot of loading screens ( those shown after defeating certain bosses ) until I ended up in Leyndell, ashen capital. I was so scared of anything else, like dumping deathbed smalls in my inventory, that I just straight up deleted my character.

Ever since this hacker bricked my save, my game occasionally crashes when an invader enters my game. Not every time, I would say about once per ten invaders. My event viewer tool keeps giving me the exact same error message, basically "0xc0000005" error. The bug never shows up when I join other people's games as an invader myself or a furled finger. Every time the bug shows up, I go in my steam, view player list, and there's always a dude that "joined less than a minute ago", often with high steam levels like level 20 or so, which indicates that they are not hacking me ; the bug really is on my end, somewhere, and occurs when an invader invades my game. I've never seen that bug occur when I summon a furled finger. I've never seen this bug in any other game as well.

I tried formatting my whole drive with windows on it and reinstalling it ; I've reinstalled steam and elden ring. I've ran scans on my memory bars, no issues. No issues are found on my graph card either, which constantly runs at 55 celcius instead of 80. I've ran cheksum disk things to fix my hard drives. It still happens. I did some other tricks found on you tube videos like reducing the amount of app on start up, but these tricks were suggested because people could not start the game at all and had this 0xc0000005 error right upon loading the game. My bug seems different.

Also, my elden ring cursor was replaced with the windows cursor for some reason. I'm not sure if it's related to my bug. Can anyone help me?

EAC is broken so the summon system is. They messed up in the patches the coding.
1st verify game files
2 do a command prompt windows 10
in search type cmd run as admin then new box type
sfc /scannow

windows 11 find the command prompt and use the sfc /scannow this helps a bit and do it daily

Thing is, when your save gets corrupted, it's not your character, it's the WHOLE save with all characters. Sadly if you want to keep them, best you can do is load a backup before hacker invaded you. Or maybe some people out there will give you a better advice, idk

[dark-breed]

your savefile got corrupted by this hacker, you need to delete it completely and start a fresh savefile.

[Maximvs]

To Sparhawk : I've verified game files and do the scannow in the cmd BEFORE formatting my whole drive and reinstalling my whole windows. It didn't work then and seems pointless to do after a whole drive format and windows reinstall but I suppose I could try again just for kicks and giggles.

To captain Yon : I suppose I could just back my char save and then create a new game save with new chars from scratch. That sounds extremely annoying but it's worth a try I suppose. I'm looking for any new suggestions, really.

this problem happend to a lot of ppl, this hack damage the savefile structure for some it happend before the last patch and after the new patch got applied the names and progress got messed up at all or several chars what indicate a savefile internal fault by this hack.

[Maximvs]

Well, sadly, my bug is still occurring even after I deleted my whole save game and created a single character from scratch.

[Maximvs]

I got it by summoning a duelist in my game

how you deleted the savefile ?

via deactivate cloud saves and delete in %appdata% the eldenring folder or by delete all chars ?

[Maximvs]

Oh I went in the appdata folder and removed everything, then I created my new character, all offline, then I went online. Now I only have 1 character right now instead of 10. I didn't deactivate the cloud thing but if I have only 1 character, that means my way still did override the cloud save, yes?

should be the case.

than i would take a closer look to the crash log you get

and always the same offset

this offset can have a lot of possible causes the base check / repair is this one

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

in rare cases a GPU driver problem can cause this, a fresh istal with DDU deinstallion should be tested too.

[Maximvs]

I've done all of these things. I did the cleanup image thing before the format, the scannow, the cheksumdisk thing, as for the gpu and redistributables, it was kind of included in the format, although I suppose I could do it again.

Honestly, one thing I haven't done is to take my PC apart and clean it. Maybe my pc just started bugging at the very moment that hacker hit me. Or could it be possible that somehow, something about my internet is broken now? Something in my modem or the ethernet part of my motherboard?

it could be possible that a hardware failure exists but this would be a 1 in a million coincidence.

[Maximvs]

My best guess so far is that my motherboard ended up with a slight defect after his hack and he wasn't even trying to do so.
