You can see the first two hours of the expansion in Ultrawide here kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z35pu7irqZy8Y84.html I can confirm this works with version 1.12 and the launch of Shadow of the Erdtree. You may need to go back and rename the protected file again which I explain in the video and below but after that Ultrawide, FPS unlock, FOV adjustments all appear to be working. Go to the Steam library location where you installed Elden Ring. Go to steamapps > ELDEN RING > game. Rename start_protected_game.exe to something else. (I added "_original" to the end of the file name.) Make a copy of elden_ring.exe. Rename this newly made copy to start_protected_game.exe. Run the game through Steam as normal.

I got the frame rates to work for the game but not widescreen unfortunately.

Funny thing is that when I first started playing after the DLC update, the game ran flawlessly in ultrawide without any mods. After a few seconds, post processing loads in and adds the black bar. So yes, Elden Ring does support Ultrawide. They just decided to add the black bars.

Yup. You get worse performance for using an ultrawide monitor. Might as well use the mod to see what you are rendering.

The worst part about this is that Elden Ring DOES technically support ultrawide, the game is rendering in full 21:9 but the blackbars are added on top. Insane.

It works when im in Windowed Borderless mode. However, when in Fullscreen, my refresh rate is limited to 75Hz. Also, when in Windowed mode, the text seems a bit more blurry...the overall image quality is lower than in Fullscreen. Am i doing something wrong, ideas? Tnx :)

Good explanation but you won't be able to open the eldenring.exe individually unless you rename the EAC file and do the copy eldenring.exe and rename it as start_protected_game. Steam launches automatically when you try to open eldenring.exe and it does within the start_protected_game.exe file. Hope it helps!

I tried reinstalling c++ packages for both x86 / x64 bit. Didn't work. I'm unsure what to do, as there is not really any information about this issue besides the reinstall of c++ packs...

Haven't touched ER in a year but now coming back to it, I gotta have wider FOV and unlocked FPS, the default makes my eyes hurt.

Since we can’t go online with it, I was wondering if we could play offline, complete the DLC, and then, using the same save file but this time without the mod, go back online?

Bro it downs work for me I do everything correctly it even tell me the inappropriate activity thing but the ultra wide doesn’t work

Not sure this make sense since the eldering.exe launches steam eac, unless there is a way to unhook it?

My game keeps crashing a few seconds after launching, I've done all the steps correctly... But when I disable the fix, the game runs normally, so I think It's related, but don't know what to do

What does it mean if i did everything you did but when i load the game it connects to the internet? Can i just disconnect from the internet cord?
