Answer

Some users may experience Elden Ring crashing back to the desktop while playing on AMD Claw. Refer to this article to resolve this crash by adjusting settings within AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.

This article applies to AMD Claw

 

Method 1: Enable HYPR-RX

1. Open AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.

2. Go to the “Home” tab, and enable “HYPR-RX”.

Note: HYPR-RX automatically enables RSR (Radeon Super Resolution), Anti-Lag, and Boost together to optimize performance and memory management.

 

Method 2: Increase Dedicated Video Memory (VRAM)

If the crash persists after trying Method 1, manually increasing the memory allocated to the GPU can improve stability:

1. Open AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.

2. Go to “Performance” > “Tuning”.

3. Find the “Dedicated Graphics Memory” section (also labeled “Memory Optimizer” or “VRAM Setting” on some driver versions).

4. Choose one of the following options:

    - Change the setting from “Productivity” to “Gaming”.

    - Or manually increase the “Maximum VRAM” limit.

5. Restart the system for the change to take effect.

 

 

Common Questions (Q&A)

Why would increasing the Dedicated Graphics Memory (VRAM) allocation help prevent the crash?

If the GPU is not allocated enough dedicated video memory for a demanding game like Elden Ring, it can run out of usable memory during gameplay and crash back to the desktop. Manually increasing the Maximum VRAM limit, or switching the memory allocation setting to a Gaming-optimized profile, gives the GPU more memory headroom to work with, which can improve stability.
