Some of the most common and general advice given to players experiencing bugs does not work in this case. Unfortunately, updating your graphic drivers does not seem to solve the issue. Instead, they might be the cause for it in the first place.

It is suggested to roll back your graphics drivers to a previous older version and then try to run the game. The developers have confirmed that PC players might experience issues with the latest graphic drivers in the Version 1.01 patch notes for Nightreign. However, if the game doesn’t work despite this step, we have a few more suggestions.

VRR and Locked FPS

Unlimited FPS is often responsible for causing issues like these, therefore, you should try locking it to 60 frames per second. You can manage this via your graphics control panel (Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Adrenalin).

Moreover, you should also turn off VRR and try to run the game. You can accomplish this through your Settings > Display Settings > Changing the VRR to off.

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

Steam

Firstly, try to run Steam in Administrator mode. You do this by right-clicking the Steam icon, and selecting ‘run as administrator’. However, if that doesn’t work, then verify the integrity of the files. Right-click Elden Ring Nightreign in your library, and head to Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity.

Hopefully, these measures should fix any fatal error or black screen issues you were encountering in Elden Ring Nightreign.
