If your console is not set up for auto-update, the obvious first fix is to simply not download the latest patch for Elden Ring. Many players will not be so lucky as auto-update is a very popular setting and naturally saves a lot of waiting time.

For those who have already downloaded the fateful patch and are now unable to log in to their Elden Ring account, don't give up hope just yet. The classic re-set is always on hand and many times allows players to work around spontaneous errors.

Here's the order of re-starts you should try:

• Re-start your Elden Ring title quitting out to the PlayStation home page and reloading
• Re-start your PlayStation console
• Re-start your internet router

There's a chance none of these fixes will work and you will, unfortunately, be stuck unable to log in to Elden Ring. However, it's encouraging that PlayStation is already onto the problem so don't expect it to last for too long.
