**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. Use at your own risk!**
## Features
- set custom frame rate limits (e.g. 30, 90, 165, ...)
- remove black borders when using resolutions with an aspect ratio other than 16:9 (e.g. ultrawide).
- remove vigniette overlay
- remove chromatic abberation filter
- increase animation distance / fix choppy animations at screen edges
- remove 60hz limit when using fullscreen mode
## Dependencies
- Python >= 3.8.xx (lowest tested)

## Usage
1. Copy the file `er-patcher` to the game directory.
2. In steam, set the game launch options to `./er-patcher ARGS -- %command%` where ARGS is replaced with a combination of
- `-r RATE` or `--rate RATE` for setting a custom framerate cap (default: 60)
- `--all` for enabling all options except `--rate`
- `-u` or `--ultrawide` for removing black bars
- `-v` or `--disable-vigniette` for removing the vigniette overlay
- `-c` or `--disable-ca` for disabling chromatic abberation
- `-a` or `--increase-animation-distance` for fixing low frame rate animations at screen edges or for distant entities.
- `-s` or `--skip-intro` for skipping intro logos when the game starts
- `-f` or `--remove-60hz-fullscreen` for removing the 60Hz limit in fullscreen mode (only applies to windows and has no effect when running the game through proton due to fshack)
- Example: `./er-patcher --all --rate 30 -- %command%`
- Example with mangohud and wine fullscreen fsr: `./er-patcher --rate 144 -uvca -- env WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 MANGOHUD=1 MANGOHUD_CONFIG=histogram %command%`
2. In steam, set the game launch options to `./er-patcher ARGS -- %command%` See [Features](#features) for available options.
- Example: `./er-patcher --all --rate 30 --fix-camera -- %command%`
- Example using [MangoHud](https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud) and wine fullscreen FSR: `./er-patcher --rate 144 -uvca -- env WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 MANGOHUD=1 MANGOHUD_CONFIG=histogram %command%`
3. Launch the game through steam. `er-patcher` automatically launches a patched version of `eldenring.exe` with EAC disabled.
### Windows
## Features
It also work just as well on windows. The only difference is, that you need to run the script via your Python 3 installation. The following launch option line works in case you installed Python from Microsoft Store:
| Argument | Description |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-r RATE` or `--rate RATE` | Set a custom framerate limit (default: 60). |
| `--fix-camera` | Disable camera auto-rotation. |
| `--all` | Enable all options except `--rate` and gameplay changes like `--fix-camera`. |
| `-u` or `--ultrawide` | Remove black bars. |
| `-v` or `--disable-vigniette` | Remove the vigniette overlay . |
| `-c` or `--disable-ca` | Disable chromatic abberation. |
| `-a` or `--increase-animation-distance` | Fix low frame rate animations at screen edges or for distant entities. |
| `-s` or `--skip-intro` | Skip intro logos at game start. |
| `-f` or `--remove-60hz-fullscreen` | Remove the 60Hz limit in fullscreen mode (not needed with proton). |
## Windows Support
The patcher works just as well on windows. The only difference is that you need to explicitly call python to run the script `er-patcher`. The following launch option line works in case you installed Python from Microsoft Store:
> `python er-patcher --rate 165 --all -- %command%`
