Has anyone tried a Proton build including 35a4101 yet?

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

I tried Proton Experimental [bleeding-edge], no luck, same error.

Maybe the -noEAC flag can help?

@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]

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.

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.

cp start_protected_game.exe stpg.exe.bak cp eldenring.exe start_protected_game.exe

Can't play game online but it works

Curious if someone would mind posting a protondb report if the game works, even offline.

I sent a report but from my experience it takes a lot of time to get the reports actually up. it's still pending on my profile

Did anyone else notice how insane is the disk write activity while running this game? It is super unusual

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.
