EDIT: I tried manually patching the proton executable and copying the eos library files to the mixed-case variants, but neither fixed the error.

@kingpingu I faced the same issue, which was solved after increasing the number of file descriptors.

Now game runs perfectly except for online, which doesn't currently work because probably EAC.

DeathTBO commented 2 years ago

As a temporary workaround I was able to launch it by swapping the executables in the game folder. I renamed start_protected_game.exe to backup and copied eldenring.exe renaming it the other exe.

Won't be able to play online, but I heard this was Steam Deck verified. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

serafk commented 2 years ago

The file copy/overwrite does bypass EAC by effectively invoking the copy protection and forcing it to offline mode.

I am having an issue with using a PS5 dualsense controller (wired) but it is not being completely detected. Touchpad works as must support but no other device buttons provide a response. When attempting to use Remote Play you can set your gamepad to Mouse Support via the Hold Back button you can use both sticks and the trigger buttons to move the cursor and mimic mouse inputs. Seems to be something a miss with accepting controller input.

My installation's Controller options shows that the developers has Nintendo Switch controls enabled. I have not tried to use these.

Did anyone else notice how insane is the disk write activity while running this game? It is super unusual Screenshot from 2022-02-24 23-21-54 The game process is the start_protected. More than 9 GB of data written to the disk after 20 or maybe 30 minutes dying to the first boss(that obviously I should not be fighting now XD)

I had the same issue but found a workaround. Go into Steam's controller options for the game and disable Steam input. My PS5 controller works completely normally after I did that.

i have this same issue and nothing i change makes any difference, steam input enabled/disabled, ps4 support enabled/disabled, controller doesn't work regardless of any settings. I have had this problem in the past with previous souls games but don't remember how i got it working in the end.

msmafra commented 2 years ago

Did nothing on Manjaro, and it worked, just didn't log in to Elden Ring Server, but I've been able to play. Tried on Fedora, my main distro, but even deleting the pfx folder and letting it reinstall dependencies, it doesn't work. Keeps showing that EAC is not installed on the Splash Screen.

Fedora 25 Workstation 5.16.10-201.fsync with Nobara repositories Manjaro Gnome 5.16.7-1-MANJARO

[Edit] Tried with Proton-GE 7.2-GE-2, Proton-GE 7.2-GE-3-test3 and Experimental on Fedora and did not touch the version on Manjaro [Edit2] Playing a bit more, only working on Manjaro with the same install, the stuttering is unbearable even on the lowest settings. As it is really a game problem because Windows players are reporting the same with excellent specs, I'll wait for a patch. Also MangoHUD only works on Fedora where I can't play the game; Alt + Tab is very problematic, almost can't leave the game, + tab did not work; The game almost locks the whole system on stutters; Alt + F4 is not accepted by the game as a viable way to leave the game. [Edit3] Once more, disabling Steam Overlay helps a LOT, and I mean a lot. Even the loading times were improved. Not perfect, but

There is a clear correlation between stuttering and the unusual and intense disk writing activity. I wonder if this is happening because we are forcing the offline mode by overwriting the executable...

Stuttering seems to affect all PC players, even Windows ones with EAC working as it should.

her001 commented 2 years ago

I got this working consistently in online mode.

[EDIT: It seems like I can be in online mode, but EAC will kick me after a time with others?]

I'll copy the important bits of the reddit comment I made describing how to get EAC working here:

With EAC

tl;dr

  1. Opt into bleeding-edge beta of Proton Experimental
  2. Make sure Elden Ring is using Proton Experimental
  3. Launch Elden Ring
  4. Disconnect the network before the EAC launcher loads
  5. Reconnect the network before proceeding from the start screen to the main menu
  6. If you are offline, select Log in

How I got there

I saw others mentioning they could get online with Proton Experimental [bleeding-edge] (opt into the bleeding-edge branch of Proton Experimental), but I couldn't get it working with any combination of things I tried.

I also saw that you can skip the EAC launcher check by not letting it connect to the internet.

If I left the internet disconnected, then reconnected it after I got to the menu, I couldn't log in.

Reconnecting the internet immediately after the game window appears worked around this. After more testing, all that mattered is that you reconnect before going to the menu.

Notes

  1. It might not matter when you disconnect the network, as long as it is reconnected before the menu.
  2. Maybe you can sandbox just the launcher from the internet, so that manual network manipulation isn't needed. But then, maybe this will all be fixed for us soon.

wwmm's launch option did not work for me, but I am able to use the launch option echo "%command%" | sed 's/start_protected_game.exe/eldenring.exe/' | sh to play in offline mode without renaming game files.

This didn't work for me.

But I found another way to run it on my machine. I had the Steam Runtime disabled, enabling it again and launching the game made me able to connect online with no issues. The only other thing I did was to manually symlink both eossdk-win64-shipping files (dll, so) files to EOSSDK-Win64-Shipping (dll, so) inside the game's folder, but I haven't tested if it is needed at all after enabling the Steam Runtime, I'll test it further and report here.

EDIT: It works without the symlinks when using Proton Experimental [bleeding edge]. Right now I'm playing online with summons working without issue. Not forcing the Native Runtime and instead using the Steam Runtime is working for me, even restarted the game to be sure.

atbrandt commented 2 years ago

For me, I am able to launch Elden Ring and get into game just fine, though I'm not able to connect to the servers in spite of EAC starting up and seemingly working just fine. I am running Steam (Runtime) on Manjaro with Proton Experimental enabled. However, I am having a major problem where the Steam Overlay is getting applied to the EAC window, and then killing itself once the EAC launcher closes, and it won't come up once the game actually loads. This is a major issue for me, as this stops Steam from passing controller inputs through to the game while in Big Picture mode, which thus prevents me from playing the game via Steam Play. The only workaround seems to be that I create a whole separate desktop configuration and enable it manually for this game, which is incredibly tedious and unnecessary.

EDIT: This issue actually happens on outside using Steam Play as well. I am unable to play the game with a controller, because steam thinks the game is launching as a desktop application and is not passing through controller as an actual device to the game. Instead, it's just using the desktop controls configuration and forces me to use my controller as a mouse input for a game that expects controller input. Absolutely infuriating.

Cool stuff anticheat can prevent, apparently you could get to play online with it. (unsure if he uses bleeding edge branch)

The controller issue seems to plague Windows users as well going by the number of threads on the Steam Forums. The workaround I found was to add a Gamepad template to the Desktop Configuration inside the Controller Settings on Steam.

Hi,

To get work the controller I did the next steps:

steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game$ cp start_protected_game.exe stpg.exe.bak steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game$ cp eldenring.exe start_protected_game.exe

When launch the game now the controller is detected and works fine. Of course cant play online. Because eac is not launched. I think the problem with controls is because of eac crash on launch

atbrandt commented 2 years ago

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5613#issuecomment-1050636272

Like I said, I have no issues with EAC in my environment. In fact, with Proton Experimental set to bleeding-edge, I'm now able to successfully log in and play online. The issue is that the Steam Overlay is not launching and/or is only launching for the EAC window, and once the game itself actually launches, the Overlay is not able to be opened and doesn't appear to be running at all. This is the behavior that Steam uses when it's running a desktop application, so it defaults to using desktop controls instead of passing through actual controls.

I could probably work around it in the way you suggested, but then I would lose ability to play online, which I don't want to do. The issue is that the launcher is making steam think the app is a desktop app instead of a game.

demurgos commented 2 years ago

I see multiple issues relative to EAC, this comment is different: I applied the solution to rename eldenring.exe to start_protected_game.exe. When clicking "play", the game starts full-screen for a second then crashes (black screen with game cursor only). Other people seem to have a similar issue

EDIT: I just had a proton experimental (bleeding edge) update, now I get a white screen.

EDIT 2: Switch from KDE Plasma (X.org) to KDE Plasma (Wayland) fixed my issue.

In addition to the EOS EAC issues mentioned earlier, I'm also reporting here that the performance doesn't seem to be where it should be. No matter what settings I use I'm plagued with low framerate, often 40 fps and lower. I'm running this on a Ryzen 2700X + GTX1080.

The symlink workaround was the last thing to try and it still refuses to work. Guess I'll give up for now and play on my Win machine waiting for the game to be more stable on Linux

atbrandt commented 2 years ago

I can confirm that renaming start_protected_game.exe and then creating a symlink between eldenring.exe and start_protected_game.exe does allow Steam to correctly apply the overlay to the game and thus enable controller pass-thru, but this creates the same problem as other solutions already mentioned. Without the game launching via EAC, it prevents you from connecting to the server and playing online.

Unaccounted4 commented 2 years ago

The Steam Overlay isn't working in-game. In the past, games which present this behaviour don't allow for Steam Input to be used. Since the game defaults Steam Input for everything but the XBox controllers, no other controllers work.

Disabling Steam Input makes it so the game proper never displays a window after the EAC initialization box.

EDIT: Enabling Steam Input for your choice controller and setting the desktop configuration to your gamepad configuration of choice, as others suggested, does seem to work.

Also, @GoLD-ReaVer see this issue for the poor performance: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/465

You can force steam to use a given control config, yo go to the general control settings and enable only the controller ur using, and then in the game controller config select force on. This seems to be needed even in windows. Or you can make steam interpret your controller as an xbox one here is how

Yes, the problem is VKD3D specifically. See if adding VKD3D_DEBUG=none VKD3D_CONFIG=force_static_cbv %command% to the launch options makes a difference for you.

Some Elden Ring performance related changes have also just been committed to the vkd3d-proton master. So you can see if Bleeding edge experimental makes a difference. I don't know how quickly changes gets pulled in.

You need EAC to play online and thus the exe rename will automatically prevent you from doing that. For online to work the game has to run as it was on installation which it currently doesn't because either Valve or Epic have made a big mistake somewhere.

neonmoe commented 2 years ago

Using Proton Experimental [bleeding-edge] and copying eldenring.exe to start_protected_game.exe: game is offline, launches, controller works. Switched to Flatpak Steam (still bleeding edge proton), now the online works, game launches, but controller does not work. Definitely recommend trying out Flatpak Steam.
