Elden Ring Proton Patcher

A tool aimed at enhancing the experience when playing the game on linux through proton.

Features

  • set custom frame time limits (e.g. 30, 90, 165, ...)
  • disable black borders when using resolutions with an aspect ratio other than 16:9 (e.g. ultrawide).
  • vigniette removal

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)
  • -u or --ultrawide for removing black bars
  • -v or --vigniette for removing the vigniette overlay
  • Example: ./er-patcher --rate 30 -uv -- %command%
  • Example with mangohud and wine fullscreen fsr: ./er-patcher --rate 30 -ucv -- env WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 MANGOHUD=1 MANGOHUD_CONFIG=histogram %command%
  1. Launch the game through steam. er-patcher automatically launches a patched version of eldenring.exe with EAC disabled.

Windows

It should work on windows, just as well. The only difference is, that you need to run the script via your python 3 installation. Depending on the version of python 3 you have installed you would need a slightly different path than shown in the following example.

Example: C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe er-patcher --rate 165 -uv -- %command%

How it works

When the game is launched through steam, the tool creates a patched version of eldenring.exe called eldenring.patched.exe while leaving the original intact. The tool then modifies the steam launch command by replacing the string start_protected_game.exe with eldenring.patched.exe so that the patched exe is always run without EAC. After the game is closed, eldenring.patched.exe is deleted.
