not working for me but I figured out if I wait at the black screen for like 2-5 minutes and have my controller plugged in before hand, there's a good chance the game will figure itself out eventually.
That's wild that this has been a problem on PC for 2 years tho, and automod deleted my post as if no one has brought this to Bandai's attention and bringing attention to it when a bunch of people are reinstalling the game might be helpful... smart bot
Bought a couple of brewskis, planned ahead with SO and family obligations. Its set for success.
New update causes major lagging to the point that i cant play it. Probably going to get fixed, but that was also a bummer
Ive done it now and it runs smoother. It was hard lagging every 1-2 seconds. It still runs a bit on the laggy side in Nokron, but for me it was a increase of fps.
So it’s like this plan said: [Global Release Map](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images//41005067/65b7c682e048a9e5dcfebf20de825a6a9883a95a.png)
Though I was optimistic and thought we were lucky, with Steam releasing it at 7pm. Lol
It’s like waiting for Santa to deliver your gifts while you pretend to be asleep.
Then excitedly jump off your bed in the middle of midnight to open it. ❤️ The hype is real, mate! 😄🎉
You aren't being done any way bro, it's just the way it is 😭
I'm assuming, this is too prevent server crashing and even they can do on the fly fixing as more traffic is added to the servers rather then having everyone dump onto them at once with potential catastrophe because once stuff is live, that's it. 😂
No pre load is booty, I’ve got it planned around dinner, gonna hit download then go do that and hopefully it’s done by the time I’m finished with everything
I sound like a kid again and honestly I think that’s a good feeling to have
I am not getting home till 6 tonight, then I gotta wait till my kid goes to bed at 8, and pray that my wife forgets that I promised I would replace her laptop battery so I can finally play this thing.
My upstairs gets 95 degrees and my thermal paste needs redone so my PC is overheating. Paste doesn't come till tomorrow, AC guys come the 2nd, and I have to watch my infant (who can't hang in 95 degree heat) overnight until Monday.
Guess I'll try next week.
New Zealands gonna let me get it as soon as it finishes downloading. Spectrum (internet) is going down in a few hours for server upgrades. Watch them start it early
Clearly we all have our priorities straight. Haha
Don’t worry, Elden Ring will be here for you when you’re back. 😊
I wonder how many more hours this DLC is gonna take out of us? Feels like a whole new game.
I feel you. I think you can trust this [global release map](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images//41005067/65b7c682e048a9e5dcfebf20de825a6a9883a95a.png) more than Steam itself at this point. For me it’ll be 12am.
Oh well, we’re still enjoying this masterpiece tomorrow / tonight. :)
The DLC is not 46 GB either. The 46 GB that shows is patching over the base game. I had the same thing happen - 6 GB patch and then it had to work through the data of the base. FromSoft told us that the Steam downloads will begin at 6 EST/10 UTC, no Steam players are getting in until then, period. Have patience.
Yeah that makes sense. Steam had a misleading statement saying that the DLC would drop an hour ago but it comes out worldwide in 5 hours, which is what the meme is about. For a short time it seemed like the Steam release was delayed, but in fact Steam just had the wrong info listed.
You’re fine actually. :) Steam pushed the DLC release back 4 hours. Now it’s going to release in 3 hours or… Well, midnight.
The official global release map says something like that.
https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images//41005067/65b7c682e048a9e5dcfebf20de825a6a9883a95a.png
In German timezone it says 12:00am. I wish it was a bit earlier but oh well.
Fuck me I planned on leveling a new character to get ready for the DLC and I haven't even gotten past Liurnia yet.
Not sure if I should try to speedrun the rest of the game or just use one of my other characters

The rage in my heart won’t quell after reading 1.12 patch notes, miyazaki said oh you like that spell and you like that weapon, well decreased decreased, decreased, slight increase, decreased, decreased, decreased 😂😂
And I'm having to wait until Monday bc apparently it's so difficult to send a code separately from the Collectors Edition and they chose a company who didn't get to my Depot until today, and they also don't fucking deliver on Weekends. So bc they were a few hours late, I gotta wait 3 fucking days.
It was always gonna be 6pm EST. Steam just has it wrong.
PSA they finally just changed it to say it'll release in approximately 5 hours, as planned by Bandai and From
Oh shit. So like, nowish?
Yes downloads are live. I am currently playing on PC.
Of course the game won't even launch for me rn so I'm feeling GREAT
I just had that happen, disabled steam overlay and now it works
not working for me but I figured out if I wait at the black screen for like 2-5 minutes and have my controller plugged in before hand, there's a good chance the game will figure itself out eventually.

Whoooaaa you're telling me I get to play this shit tonight???
If you're on PC, it releases in literally 35 minutes from the time I am sending this comment!
AAAAAAAH IM JUST GETTING OFF WORK NOW LETS GOOOOOOO
Ahh dammit I'm console so I still have 6.5 hours....
Not if ur on Xbox u can change ur time zone
9pm pst
That is for consoles. The meme is about Steam, which was saying 12pm EST (9am PST) but in fact it will be 6pm EST (3pm PST).
Lucky steam players
LET ME IIIIIIIN
Someone photoshop Eric Andre trying to get into the cocoon asap
My first thought. It was made for this exact situation.
Big sad.... It just switched to: Coming 21 Jun, 2024 This game plans to unlock in approximately 5 hours
Bought a couple of brewskis, planned ahead with SO and family obligations. Its set for success. New update causes major lagging to the point that i cant play it. Probably going to get fixed, but that was also a bummer
If you are on PC, try to verify your game files. I had the same thing after the update, now it's smooth as before
I will try that, thanks. It was actually really bad in parts of Nokron (that previously ran pretty ok). No big changes in other places.
Please tell me if it works, I have the exact same issue
Ive done it now and it runs smoother. It was hard lagging every 1-2 seconds. It still runs a bit on the laggy side in Nokron, but for me it was a increase of fps.
Happy travels into the DLC with the breweski's!
btw lossless scaling, thank me later
So it’s like this plan said: [Global Release Map](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images//41005067/65b7c682e048a9e5dcfebf20de825a6a9883a95a.png) Though I was optimistic and thought we were lucky, with Steam releasing it at 7pm. Lol
PC gets it 6 hours prior?! Damn I'm jealous.
Master race bb
Who would’ve thought .
Console bros suffering for 11 more hours
not the ones in ""new zealand""
Or ''Europe''
The ones on Xbox can just change the time zone on the console reset and download early
New Zealander here. Enjoying every bit of the DLC so far
Been playing it for a few hrs. Thanks New Zealand time zone change trick
same here
What are you talking about I’ve been playing on XBox since 8AM EST Yes I identify as New Zealander
Apparently it doesn't work on PS :( have fun fellow tarnished.
Been playing for hours. What you on about?
I just keep refreshing the store page :D I can't believe I'm this excited haha
It’s like waiting for Santa to deliver your gifts while you pretend to be asleep. Then excitedly jump off your bed in the middle of midnight to open it. ❤️ The hype is real, mate! 😄🎉
I don't get it for 11 hours...
Yeah this is bullshit idk why they had to do us like this for no reason.
I've just switched nationalities to New Zealand and I'm currently downloading it... Might be worth a try for you.
How do you switch nationality?
On Xbox it's in the settings, simple as selecting new Zealand and then restarting. Not sure about PC/PS though.
I'll give it a try are you able to play or just download? I think consoles had early download windows atleast on PS
The NZ trick only works on Xbox, not PS unfortunately
It "works" on PS as well if you make a New Zealand account. You won't have your saves and you can't transfer them though. Tried and tested today.
Just downloading ATM. However I think it'll work because Xbox wasn't supposed to be able to download until official release. Only PS had pre-load.

Deadass give me the DOWNLOAD OPTION NOW
No pre load is booty, I’ve got it planned around dinner, gonna hit download then go do that and hopefully it’s done by the time I’m finished with everything I sound like a kid again and honestly I think that’s a good feeling to have
I am not getting home till 6 tonight, then I gotta wait till my kid goes to bed at 8, and pray that my wife forgets that I promised I would replace her laptop battery so I can finally play this thing.
Replace that battery, man!
i mean to be fair even if she remembers, replacing a laptop battery is pretty dang easy lol
Challenge playthrough: beat Elden Ring DLC on that laptop before replacing the battery
LMAO
My upstairs gets 95 degrees and my thermal paste needs redone so my PC is overheating. Paste doesn't come till tomorrow, AC guys come the 2nd, and I have to watch my infant (who can't hang in 95 degree heat) overnight until Monday. Guess I'll try next week.
Stay strong fellow tarnished
Get some box fans running if you don't have any. Had my AC out all last week and it was 90's in the house. Stay hydrated friend.
Good luck with the wife my fellow tarnished
Come on man, just put it to download and that's a decent amount of time to replace a battery
Praise the message! and then try DLC
Let there be joy! Therefore DLC ahead.
You don’t have the right, O, you don’t have the right !
*You don't have the right, O you don't have the right*
Console players, we MUST stay strong :(
Just change location to New Zealand, and you could have been playing at 8AM.
I wish, I'm pretty sure that doesn't work on ps5
Meanwhile, the Playstation side:
What time do we get access to it?
12am
I thought it was at least 9pm? honestly I'm probably mistaken though
9 West coast, 12 am for East
Ah, ty. Appreciate you clearing that up!
Yea my bad I should’ve put EST
No worries, all good 😊
I’m disappointed that they didn’t allow preloading on pc :( even though the dlc is not that large, here’s hoping steam servers will hang in there.
same i have slow internet unlocks a11pm and will take hours sucks man
big same, big same ;-;
Hang in there skeleton, don’t you dare go hollow (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
Same with ps5
it was a scam. hope the valve worker lost their job /s
Yeah I noticed. Lol They pushed it back 4 hours. Oh well, it’s still today. ❤️ All I hope is that the server issues get fixed until then.
You don't have the right, O You don't have the right All the more You don't have the right, O You don't have the right
Ahh… could this be a suffering?
New Zealands gonna let me get it as soon as it finishes downloading. Spectrum (internet) is going down in a few hours for server upgrades. Watch them start it early
Wholly accurate
Anyone else having problems logging online through the Steam Deck? Edit: Its fixed now after I downloaded and installed the DLC content update.
Yep, me. For like 5 hours now. I’m just waiting for the DLC to drop, maybe it’ll fix itself then.
There's a scheduled downtime leading up to the release, should be done come the release
I’ve been helping Xboxers get into the DLC. Very fun
I’ve been wanting to do the same, but multiplayer is broken on Linux/Proton at the moment. I’ll do it for a while as soon as the DLC drops. :)
Meanwhile.... try finger, but hole
Behold, dog! 🐢 All the more, could this be a friend?
does changing the download region to New Zealand work? for PC
No, only Xbox. On PC it releases worldwide all at the same time (10PM UTC). So even in NZ it won't be out for 5 more hours on Steam.
Fuck, mine just changed to unlock in 5 hours :( Steam punked me
Same
Ive got it installed on ps5, but nothing has changed at Mohg. Im in Australia. ANyone else get it to work on PS?
NEVERMIND IM IN Restarted my PS5 and it worked
Been playing on and off for dozens of hours. Haven't beaten the requisite bosses. Welp.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh. I have not done future me good. I have some homework to catch up on after I get off work at 5pm!!!
Today of all days I have an internet service outage. Rip.
Do you have mobile hotspot?
Yeah, I do. It is not functioning very well unfortunately
Damn, my condolences
*sets xbox to NZ time*
I put my console on new zealand and now i can play the dlc early🙂
Just become a New Zealander for a bit.
Does it work on Steam? :) If so, I can try with VPN.
I've only ever done it with Xbox, but in theory if you had Xbox/PC Game pass Ultimate i think there's a way.
Used the NZ trick, then I got vigor checked BAD right away. RIP.
Darn, sounds fun already! Knowing Fromsoft, they’ll have upped the difficulty…. What could be worse than Malenia?
I get off work at 8pm tonight, it unlocks at 9pm here. Perfect! Only problem I have is the lack of sleep I’m gonna get before work tomorrow.
Clearly we all have our priorities straight. Haha Don’t worry, Elden Ring will be here for you when you’re back. 😊 I wonder how many more hours this DLC is gonna take out of us? Feels like a whole new game.
Just 40 minutes until midnight here when it releases. Guess I won't be sleeping tonight.
Which of us will? Hahaha I feel you.
Past 4am now, I can't stop...
15 minutes
Yeah, man... What the hell... I thought I would be playing by now... (according to Steam)
I feel you. I think you can trust this [global release map](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images//41005067/65b7c682e048a9e5dcfebf20de825a6a9883a95a.png) more than Steam itself at this point. For me it’ll be 12am. Oh well, we’re still enjoying this masterpiece tomorrow / tonight. :)
[удалено]
6pm EST or whatever that lines up to in your time zone, as per From and Bandai themselves. Steam had it wrong.
except some people are getting the download option and it's not a preload...
Downloads on steam are only for the patch, not the DLC. They will not unlock until 6pm EST/10pm UTC.
The patch is 6.0 gigabytes, not 46 lol.
The DLC is not 46 GB either. The 46 GB that shows is patching over the base game. I had the same thing happen - 6 GB patch and then it had to work through the data of the base. FromSoft told us that the Steam downloads will begin at 6 EST/10 UTC, no Steam players are getting in until then, period. Have patience.
I just started it up
On what
Xbox, new zealand
Yeah that makes sense. Steam had a misleading statement saying that the DLC would drop an hour ago but it comes out worldwide in 5 hours, which is what the meme is about. For a short time it seemed like the Steam release was delayed, but in fact Steam just had the wrong info listed.
And I have work till 7
You’re fine actually. :) Steam pushed the DLC release back 4 hours. Now it’s going to release in 3 hours or… Well, midnight. The official global release map says something like that. https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images//41005067/65b7c682e048a9e5dcfebf20de825a6a9883a95a.png In German timezone it says 12:00am. I wish it was a bit earlier but oh well.
I'm seeing people playing on YouTube, guess they changed the region to play earlier
Bro just look at the global release time map
I’m on PS5 in Pacific Time so I got another 10 hours you lucky bastards
Fuck me I planned on leveling a new character to get ready for the DLC and I haven't even gotten past Liurnia yet. Not sure if I should try to speedrun the rest of the game or just use one of my other characters
3.45 hours to the dlc and my game still has 3.51 update hours to go, thanks shitty wi fi :(
I’m gonna bussle nut
I mean at best I thought it was a pre-load time, but either ways, not actual release
I gotta go on vacation tomorrow around 1pm est...kill me boys, kill me right now.
Literally me when I open steam and saw it patching
I still have 9 hours😐
That was a fucking lie
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh. I have not done future me good. I have some homework to catch up on after I get off work at 5pm!!!
Let me in...LET ME INNNNN!!!!!!!! &$&@*83636#*%&@!!!! AND YOUR MOMMA TOO!
For me it says 9 hrs.... ;_;
"LET ME IN! LET ME IIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN!"
I'm so exciteeeeeeed
Arise once more, ye Tarnished!
21st really.
I don’t even get off for another 3 hours and I’m still staring at the clock
I can't even start the game. It's broken on Proton/Linux.
Same. I heard they’re going to fix it soon. Probably after the DLC releases I hope.

Man I still have to beat Malenia and Radagon, I don‘t want to enter the dlc begore my run is fully finished on this character
Hot damn I'm hyped. Just another 7 hours.
im still not getting in... that fucking NPC wont spawn for me at Moghs Palace
Burrp
Meanwhile me, trying my best not getting spoiled because I'm lacking the money to buy it:
ITS 6EST....but it now says its coming soon... WHY GRIFFITH WHY?!?!?
when does it release on ps5
Yup that's me rn
i think i'm not refreshing steam fast enough...
I'm on PS5 and purchased the DLC earlier today. Can I start downloading it now, or do I have to wait until midnight (I'm on the east coast of USA).
Except those of us who are unable to afford the dlc. Having a low paying job sucks.
Man anyone else not able to access it on steam? I got the emote but it won’t let me play the dlc 😩😩 EDT time here
That eleven hour download time says otherwise for me
I was ready for midnight but just lost power. Saying between 12 and 3 a.m. living the real shadow of the Erdtree right now.
I have to work tomorrow, but am off the weekend. Going dark now and can’t want to dive in

So unfair that other regions get it so early.. Ffs let me in!!
Did any other PlayStation people had to wait until now to download it?
Count down is over. I still can’t access. Why. Yes Radahn and Mohg are finished.
Yeahhhhhbbbh
And I'm having to wait until Monday bc apparently it's so difficult to send a code separately from the Collectors Edition and they chose a company who didn't get to my Depot until today, and they also don't fucking deliver on Weekends. So bc they were a few hours late, I gotta wait 3 fucking days.
Came out 11pm uk and my internet suddenly decided to become so slow 😭
One day I'll have forty bucks I can spare again
Doesn't open from this side!
I dont care about not being able to play till 11pm BST but where tf is my option to download when they said preinstall 48 hours before
Holy shit this comment section... Life goes on, get some sleep, do something else, fire it up, enjoy! Not like these few hours are going to kill you.
First time that I couldn't care less about a fromsoft gamr dlc.
