Elden Ring crashes on PC, but the studio is taking care of the case
Remember, the Elden Ring DLC was burned when it was released on Steam. Many complained about the difficulty level that has since been lowered, but there are still major optimization issues.

A tip to get around errors on your PC while you wait for a REAL solution
According to the developers, it would be the mouse control applications that would crash everything while running in the background. There does indeed seem to be a bug associated with this type of software.
To avoid problems, FromSoftware simply recommends deactivating them before playing to limit the damage. According to the studio, this is a simple but effective tip.
“In the PC version, if you play the game while a mouse control application is running in the background, the frame rate may become unstable. In this case, please stop all applications related to mouse control and restart the game,” reads X.
However, this does not guarantee that you will no longer have problems, as many reports confirm that even with a significant improvement, other residual problems still exist. But everything should be resolved soon.
FromSoftware has actually announced the imminent release of one or more patches to optimize its game. After balancing the difficulty level, technical issues are now in the developers’ sights. Soon everything should be back to normal.
