In this guide you can find how to fix stutters and framedrops that many players are encountering
Introduction
many players experienced stutters and framedrops during this days, if you are experiencing these issues too just try to follow these steps, hope it helps! [this guide will only cover nvidia only fixes]
Update Nvidia Drivers
The first thing you have to try is to update your nvidia drivers.
Nvidia released on the 14th february an update to optimize Elden Ring.
This can significantly improve your framerate, getting you stable 60 fps, so it's worth trying.
Change the Shader Cache Size to Unlimited
To fix frame rate drops and stuttering, especially in the open world when exploring or in battle, you can try the following:
- Open NVIDIA Control Panel
- Under "Manage 3D Settings" and the "Global Settings" tab, change "Shader Cache Size" to "Unlimited"
[optional] unlock fps
If you are having trouble with the 60 fps cap, and playing 60 fps on a 144hz gives you stutters, you can try to unlock the fps cap.
*Warning: This hasnt been tested enough to say that it's safe*
Please make sure your game is set to offline and you start the game without EAC through the utility.
Someone recently released an Fps unlocker for elden ring that you can find right here.
Follow the steps that you can find in github and be aware of the risks you are taking.
![A guide on how to get Somber Smithing Stone [2] without leaving Limgrave or a walk through Bloodhound questline Introduction Recently I've found a unique weapon and struggled to upgrade it to +2, because there are no Somber Smithing Stones [2] before Stormveil Castle, unless? Here I will walk you through the Bloodhound questline, which rewards the desired stone at the end. Man with a face of a wolf We're on the "hunt" for a specific NPC, which you might have seen on one of the loading screen arts. His name is Blaidd the Half-Wolf. To start Blaidd's quest, head down to Mistwood Ruins, which are located directly to the east from a starting zone at Church of Elleh There will be a giant bear sleeping, which you don't want to wake, trust me. Near it, a staircase downwards, which grants the Axe Talisman But it is not what we are after. Upon approaching the ruins, you will hear a distant howl. Now, whether you have looted the place or not, return to Church of Elleh and ask Kale about the howl. He'll proceed to explain who it was... At the end he will give the Finger Snap gesture and tell you to perform it next time you hear this howl. Return to Mistwood Ruins and perform the gesture right when you hear the howl. This will summon Blaidd at the ruins. Exhaust his dialog. From it you will learn of his search for a man named Darriwil, which is our next target in this quest Who tf is Darriwil Head straight to the north of Limgrave, to find Forlorn Hound Evergaol, which happens to be Darriwil's cage and boss arena. Enter the evergaol, and in front of you will be Blaidd's summon sign. Now, Bloodhound Knight Darriwil has a very persistent attack pattern, with little room to counterattack. Does a lot of damage as well. However, Blaidd is STRONG AS FUСK (as a proper Berserk reference) and will probably carry you through the fight. My weapon recommendation would be a slow heavy-hitter to capitalize on those small attack windows. Also, utilize jumping heavy attacks for those juicy staggers. When Darriwil is defeated, Blaidd will give you the reward as promised, which happens to be a Somber Smithing Stone [2] Note: if you have already defeated Darriwil before the questline, Blaidd will just wait for you at the evergaol after those howl shenanigans and still award the Smithing Stone. You'll get an EDGY AF dex/quality curved greatsword as a drop from the boss as well. Conclusion Now go take sceenshots with your boy the Half-Wolf and upgrade that unique weapon to +2 Alternatively go left of the Castle Morne entrance to the beach and loot it of a corpse in a chair lol If this guide helped, please give it a like to spread the information](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD7uXDE36maWYKMjh1xz8fRUa13zpDBEYLYQMGGG_OhmWSvnansD1L-NE98zvl7JUKd1925_3LSD9Yd8mNQpzz9yd2WDWPzx2jjJUXUDLrFb3ROfZ_63D8jhxT8xJcLn2gQ2Mw1KoHAT-4nIyWgln1Y0Lm_z1v816dcEWHrDzS2Qx_3L4o_-S_1QG7/s5210/2.png)
![Straight forward guide to solving the issues with the 100% fabulous built in optimizations. Getting Started And Identifying Lag Welcome to my guide. Before you start please understand basic types of lag: Latency (internet lag) Internet lag is usually a result of being geographically far from the server host. This means that the electrical impulses take many milliseconds to reach the server and then have to travel all that way back. This means there can be a lag between input from your computer to it appearing on your and other screens. FPS lag (client lag) This lag is a direct result of the client, and client side computer. This means that this lag is caused by your computer running the elden ring game. This can be a factor of reasons but most commonly is caused from outdated hardware or bad hardware configurations. So what do I do? If you are a victom of Latency lag, this guide will probably NOT help you. However, if you are experiencing some type of FPS lag, I can help. In the case for elden ring, built-in game optimizations have been a huge issue for people with even respectable computer specs. This guide will show you how you can get around these flaws and improve or even fix these issues the game can't. GPU (Graphics) Driver Updates You probably hear this all the time, but it is very important we start off with the latest graphics drivers. Most users will have their own variations of graphic's software based on their card. For my example I have NVIDIA GeForce. Find yours and update it. Enabling Game Mode Open Settings >> Gaming >> Game Mode and toggle Game Mode to on. Adding Elden Ring To Graphic Settings Open Settings >> System >> Display >> Graphic Settings and toggle Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling to on. Bellow this, under Graphics performance preference, you will want to add eldenring.exe, start_protected_game.exe, and steam.exe as a desktop application. You can normally find your default steam library at the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game Under each added application, click the added app >> Options >> click High Performance. Unlock Ultimate Performance Profile Open a new terminal (CMD.exe) as administrator and paste the following command in. powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61 Next open control panel. Navigate to Control Panel >> Hardware and Sound >> Power Options. Under choose or customize a power plan, select ultimate performance. NVIDIA Control Panel Head over to the NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to Manage 3D settings. Click on the global settings tab. Choose High Performance NVIDIA Processor from the dropdown. Within Settings, make the following changes. For example my GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. OpenGL rendering GPU >> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Power Management Mode >> Prefer Max Performance Shader Cache Size >> Unlimited [OPTIONAL] Virtual Sync >> Off Click Apply at the bottom right. Navigate to the Program Settings Tab and under Select a program to customize you need to add eldenring.exe. Within Settings, make the following changes. For example my GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. Texture Filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization >> On Texture Filtering - Quality >> High Performance Texture Filtering - Tinier optimization >> On [OPTIONAL] Virtual Sync >> Off Click Apply at the bottom right. Disabling Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator The Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator is an enumerator that assigns a value to the rooted piece of software when a new driver tries to install its software on your computer. Many people have reported disabling this feature can actually reduce stuttering for Elden Ring. To disable this driver do the following: launch Device Manager by pressing Win + X > Device Manager or from the Start Menu. Expand Software devices to see Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator. Right click and click disable. (Do not click uninstall device!) Credits: ThiccBoiiKev In-Game Optimizations Due to how the game is, fullscreen mode locks your monitor at 60htz where Borderless Windowed is unlocked and has no roof. You can find these settings within the games settings System >> Graphics >> Screen Mode. For even further results (from testing) the following are the key settings to adjust within the Advanced Settings to increase your actual FPS performance. I have noticed Antialiasing Quality & Motion Blur to have the greatest FPS impact for settings that lack importance to the actual gameplay. I prefer these to be off.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOjqVMav8AN_BRw1vpPfRBBszA5twmVLScuSkO1TIB8j5Xufsd1_ZdswCtGha_Hc_Ls3sVHDSv7yaETvpUsUJN5WQaAyDFvYbjq4flgc-zfk4UtcXTXJIfRIINBEyMG7pY71daGSeMAwlEvTs2RA6Mn2zoTtibEoZB2JICb_VHS0Lr0eSW3DaiNzdm/s8140/2.png)
