Elden Ring Proton Patcher

Elden Ring enhancement patches (custom frame rate limits, ultrawide support etc.) seamlessly integrated with Steam.

Elden Ring Proton Patcher aims to enhance the experience when playing the game on Linux via Proton and Windows. It safely patches eldenring.exe, that is created in a temporary subdirectory and deleted on shutdown, via hex-edits, ensuring the patched executable is not run with EAC if no --with-eac flag is set. Use it at your own risk.

Dependencies

  • Python ≥ 3.8

Windows support

The tool works just as well on Windows. This launch option line works if you installed Python from Microsoft Store:

python er-patcher --all -r 75 -- %command%

Note: It opens a Python console that closes by itself on shutdown. Use pythonw if you find it annoying. python needs to be in PATH for Windows to find it.

Usage

  1. Copy the file er-patcher to the game directory.
  2. Set the game's launch options to python er-patcher ARGS -- %command% in Steam. See Features for available options.
  • Example: python er-patcher --all -l -r 90 -- %command%
  • Example with MangoHud and Wine fullscreen FSR: python er-patcher -acvu -r 144 -- env WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 MANGOHUD=1 MANGOHUD_CONFIG=histogram %command%
  • Example with the Seamless Co-op mod: python er-patcher --all -x launch_elden_ring_seamlesscoop.exe -- %command%
  1. Run the game on Steam. er-patcher automatically runs a patched eldenring.exe without EAC.

Note: Some distros (e.g., old Ubuntu versions) run Python 2 instead of 3 when running python. You will need to use python3 in that case.
