It’s true that Elden Ring hasn’t really been out that long, but as new any software, it came with around two years worth of bugs and glitches already.
However, players that are into these hard Souls-like games won’t give up that easily just because Elden Ring won’t work with a controller, multiplayer doesn’t function, or the title simply won’t boot on PC.
It’s going to take a lot more to scare these hardcore gamers away from this new experience. But what can you do when your screen turns black mid-game, or you start seeing some horizontal stripes on the screen?
Normally, players would go online and check for a new From Entertainment fix patch. That being said, when one is not provided, gamers need to get really inventive in order to find a solution.
Although From and Bandai Namco have yet to patch these annoying bugs, the available temporary workarounds seem to do the trick as well.
How can I get rid of the horizontal lines in Elden Ring?
As most of you know, screen tears, as well as horizontal lines, occur when the game tries to display two frames simultaneously, resulting in an image where one half of the screen is shifted in one direction or another.
Just imagine how frustrating this can get in a title such as Elden Ring, which relies on dodging and timing to stay alive against boss fights.
But all is not lost, and we’re about to show what workarounds brought smiles back to other Elden Ring fans after trying them.
- Update Elden Ring.
- Run Elden Ring in High-Performance Mode.
- Turn on V-Sync.
- Update your GPU.
- Download the Latest Windows Update.
- Turn Off Xbox Game Bar.
- Disable Discord Overlay.
- Verify game integrity files.
- Play Elden Ring in borderless window mode.
Thus, if you are also dealing with such visual glitches in your new Elden Ring game, as countless other players did, be sure to carefully follow the above-listed steps.
Elden Ring is still at its beginning, which means that From Entertainment and Bandai Namco are still working on solutions for most of the problems that came with the official release.
