Elden Ring Patcher

Table of Contents

Do you love Elden Ring and want to unlock its true potential? Want to get rid of the 60FPS frame cap? Well, do we have the tool for you. Read on my dear adventurer…

What is this?

ER-Patcher is a sophisticated tool crafted to significantly enhance your Elden Ring gameplay on Linux through Proton and natively on Windows. It offers a suite of features tailored to improve both performance and visual experience.

What does it do?

Think of it as your in-game cheat code, but for real-life gaming bliss. Here’s an in-depth look at what it brings to the table:

Custom Frame Rate Limits: Fine-tune the game’s frame rate to achieve the smoothest gameplay possible, ensuring an optimal balance between performance and visual quality.
Ultrawide Monitor Support: Fully utilize your ultrawide monitor, eliminating those pesky black bars and immersing you deeper into the game’s stunning landscapes.
Protect Your Runes: Disable rune loss upon death, providing a more forgiving gameplay experience and allowing you to focus on your adventure without the fear of losing progress.
Skip Intro Logos: Get straight to the action by bypassing the introductory logos, saving time and keeping you engaged in the game.
Enhanced Visual Clarity: Remove visual effects like vignette and chromatic aberration for a cleaner, sharper image, making every detail of the game world more vivid and enjoyable.

How it works

When you launch the game through Steam, ER-Patcher creates a temporary patched version of eldenring.exe, leaving the original file untouched. If the --with-eac flag is not set, the tool modifies the Steam launch command to use the patched executable instead of start_protected_game.exe. This ensures the patched version never runs with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) enabled. After you close the game, the patched executable is automatically removed, maintaining the integrity of the original game files.

How to use ER-Patcher

The Patcher is super easy to use. There’s nothing to worry about here. But before moving on, please read the warning below, it’s very important that you do.

Use at your own risk! This tool is based on patching the game executable through hex-edits. However it is done in a safe and non-destructive way, that ensures the patched executable is never run with EAC enabled (unless explicity told to do so).

Installation: Place the er-patcher tool in your Elden Ring game directory.
Configuration: Set the Steam launch options to integrate the patcher seamlessly with the game using the command: python er-patcher ARGS -- %command%
Launch Game: Start the game via Steam, and enjoy the enhanced features immediately.

ER-Patcher transforms your Elden Ring experience, making it smoother, more visually stunning, and more accessible, whether you are on Linux or Windows. For detailed instructions and additional configuration options, visit the project GitHub page.

Wrapping Up

To clarify, I do not play these types of games, so, though I did not test this myself, as you saw in the included video, my good friend @A1RM4X did and it seems solid enough.

But after watching many of his streams where he was using this tool, I have noticed that it can be flaky at times, especially when game is transitioning from in-game footage to a cut-scene after killing a Boss, causing game to crash.

That’s why I would Highly recommend you disable it during a Boss fight, especially a big one, and re-enable it once cut-scene is over and done. That’s the only instability I have seen thus far.

Also, beware using this in Online-Mode, I wouldn’t recommend it fearing the Ban-Hammer. So if you do decide to use it while online and get banned, you got only yourself to blame.

That’s it folks, have fun with unlocked gaming…

Cheers !
