Elden Ring started crashing

[kendrick ass]

I am a quite new player to the game, 25 hrs. My Elden Ring recently started crashing randomly when im exploring the map. Sometimes it can crash at the first couple minutes in the game, sometimes after awhile. Just freezes and crashes.

Rarely when I just open the game Easy Anti Cheat gives me an error too: Error Code: 30006 (Unexpected error. DriverInit Error: 3649003532)

After that the window Launch Error Unexpected error. DriverInit Error: 3649003532

Tried verifying the game files. Reinstalling the game. Deleting EAC folder and register services reinstalling the EAC. Windows is 100% updated and the GPU drivers are reinstalled too.

By the way the game is still crashing with Wi-Fi turned off and EAC uninstalled...

As for the DLC, I dont have it. Idk if it matters or not but worth mentioning, who knows..

This helped me to play nearly all of my games without crashing:

Download Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/17881/intel-extreme-tuning-utility-intel-xtu.html

Turn down your "Performance Core Ratio" by 3x (Mine was 55x as default -> 52x now). OP's was 57x by default, now it's 54x

Turn down "Core Voltage Offset" by -0,030V

I know, its kinda downgrading, but better than crashing.

You can find it also on reddit:

Good luck with it!

Thanks, but i'd like to stay without hardware tweaks. It's something else. No problems in any other games n also I played 25 hrs somehow w/o crashing.. so..

Thank you so much !!!

I use to have a lot of crashs (like 1-2/ hours) and i followed your advice, download "extreme tuning utility" and turn down by 3x "perfomance core ratio" and the same for "efficient core ration". Until this move i had ZERO crash !!! in like 15hours of playing the game. For information i had crashs on loading screen and in the game itself.

My config : (i am curious if you have the same Processer in 14000 series like both of us ? )

all the i9s are kinda fcked outta the factory unfortunately, you need to flash bios or change some settings to reduce voltage. like the other guys said, probably under clock it a bit. at least on boost clocks. if youre tech savy check out buildzoids videos on the topic. always very helpful
