I grabbed Elden ring in the summer sale, but it keeps freezing and crashing after some time.
I found a few posts including Github - all of them are about 2 month old that seem to have similar behavior.
I was wondering if anyone here has the same issue and maybe even a workaround & fix. I've tried a few things, but nothing worked so far.
Elden Ring (and only Elden Ring) freezes after about 5-30 minutes of playtime.
Had a longer session once - but only once.
Tested steps:
Same behavior in Desktop-mode or Game-mode.
Same behavior when Limiting Wattage
Same behavior turning of the new fan curve
Same behavior when Easy Anti Cheat is disabled (launching elden ring.exe and creating steamID.txt)
Same behavior with multiple Proton versions (including GE)
Same behavior after deleting protonfiles
Same behavior after reinstalling the game
Same behavior after verifying files
Temperature of the device is normal
OS 3.4.8, No Beta
Hardware is about 6 month old, no other issues. Almost any game runs without issues.
