Possible Fixes For Fatal Error and Black Screen in Elden Ring Nightreign

In some instances when players encounter bugs, the typical suggestions may not apply. Regrettably, upgrading your graphics drivers doesn’t seem effective in resolving this problem; on the contrary, it could potentially be the source of the issue itself.

To solve potential graphics-related problems you might encounter while playing Nightreign on your PC, it’s recommended that you revert to an earlier version of your graphics drivers and see if the game runs smoothly afterwards. The developers have noted in the Version 1.01 patch notes that there may be issues with the latest driver updates for graphics cards. If the game still doesn’t function properly after this step, we have some additional suggestions available.

VRR and Locked FPS

As a gamer, I’ve found that uncapped frame rates can sometimes lead to troublesome situations in my gaming experience. To avoid such hiccups, I’d suggest you limit your frames per second to a steady 60 FPS. You can do this by navigating to your graphics control panel, be it the Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Adrenalin, and adjusting the settings accordingly.

Additionally, I recommend that you disable VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and then attempt to play the game. This can be achieved by navigating to Settings > Display Settings, where you’ll find an option to toggle VRR off.

Note: You should restart your PC for the changed settings to take effect.

Steam

1st step: Attempt to launch Steam with administrative privileges. To do this, right-click on the Steam icon, and choose ‘Run as administrator’. But if that doesn’t work, follow the 2nd step instead.

2nd step: If running Steam in admin mode fails, verify the integrity of your game files. Navigate to Elden Ring Nightreign in your library, right-click it, then go to Properties > Installed Files > Check Integrity.

Let’s cross our fingers that the steps we’ve outlined will rectify any critical errors or black screen problems you experienced while playing Elden Ring Nightreign.
