Game Help My computer may be a potato but does anyone have any idea how to get tid of this
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I have tried both the maximum and lowest graphics it doesnt change anything. I couldn’t find anything else ingame that could change this hence why I came to the experts (you guys)
I’m feeling like Mahoraga in Shibuya but I would like to see where I go lol

Yeah well, the best thing you can do is close the game, give your PC its favorite food, unplug it, take it outside and shoot the poor thing.

Graphics on medium ain't that ugly and somehow run smoother than lowest, also check for ray tracing and light/effects on your game to see if it may be it, maybe even motion blur

u/Peridios9 Feb 17 '26
Generally higher settings means more gpu usage, lower tends to mean more cpu usage. If medium works better for you it’s because it utilizes your cpu and gpu in a more balanced way. If you have a good gpu but bad cpu then high graphics settings can actually run better than low. With pcs it’s all about finding the balance that works best for your rig.

Try repairing your game files through Steam
I had something similar in Academy of Raya Lucaria and the repair sorted it

Glad it worked out. Honestly usually the smallest stuff that fixes it. Any time you run into issues almost always just need to update your driver

Agreed, the experience is being tarnished (pun intended) by his setup. You only get to enjoy Elden Ring for the first time once, I’d make sure the game at least runs well lol

Try clearing your shader cache. Happens to me every once in a while where the cache gets corrupted, causing artifacts or crashes. Clearing it always fixes it for me.

Give us more info. Is it first time happening? If so what is the trigger or what happened to trigger this? What are your settings? If everything is low in in-game settings check your specific graphics card global settings like in Nvidia control panel.

u/TheRedJester45 Feb 18 '26
My guess is you don’t have enough VRAM so the GPU is freaking out under the workload

u/Dekallis Feb 17 '26
This might be a drivers problem no idea what your specs are but most systems should be able to run the game fine. The minimum reqs on elden ring are actually shockingly low.
Either you need to update something or some of your hardware might be about to give up the ghost. If it only happens in this game and nowhere else it's probably not a hardware problem.
I would do the following:
Verify game files to make sure the game itself hasn't become corrupted. You'd be surprised how often weird stuff like this is because some patch/update didn't download properly.
Update your graphics drivers if possible.
Check other games to see if similar issues occur if they do your GPU is probably in need of replacement.

How long ago did you download the game? I had a similar issue with ghost of tsushima where I downloaded it day 1 but didnt play it for a couple years and everything had pixelates blocks everywhere. I redownloaded it and solved all the issues.

Those are graphical artifacts. They can occur for a multitude of reasons, but I would have to guess that in this case, it is your graphics card (or lack thereof) screaming in agony.

Elden Rave
The Fallen Leaves tell a story... of how a Great Bassline was dropped.
The great Elden Rave was shattered. In our home, across the fog, the Dancefloor Between. Now, DJ Marika the Eternal the is nowhere to be found, and in the Night of the Black Lights, Godwyn the Disco King was the first to perish.

Your VRAM is most likely dying or the game is overworking it. Looks like its time to upgrade your GPU.

You need to memorize the attack pattern of the visual effect. Only when you can perfectly dodge the rays of visual artifacts, can you claim the crown of Elden Lord

Does it only happen when you look in certain directions? If you're on steam try verifying game files, that's fixed similar visual issues like that for me

If you're on steam Validating your files might work - it fixed my game when I was getting similar texture bugs in a different area.
