Elden Ring worked fine in Steam, right up until April 18, 2023 and game patch 1.09. Now, with the latest game patch 1.09.1 it no longer loads. I get the “Initializing” screen,m then nothing. Meanwhile, Steam says Elden Ring is “running”.
I have done the “Verify Integrity of Game Files” thing and it doesn’t help. Other games like Snowrunner work fine. Any ideas or just wait for a fix?
Okay, I just got Elden Ring working… I’m using the native Steam app on Manjaro and I’ve always used the “Proton Experimental” but that was no longer working.
So I tried this and it worked:
I did not have to make any other modifications to my system and I can still go back to Proton Experimental in the future.
