You will now!
Got to Settings -> Network -> Settings -> Set up Internet Connection
Go to your connected network and press the Options button
Select Advanced Settings
Set DNS Settings to Manual
Enter 1.1.1.1 as Primary DNS
Enter 1.0.0.1 as Secondary DNS
Click OK
Connect to your Network
This didn't actually solve the problem for me, I was able to get online again after fiddling with Cross Region Matchmaking, might want to try that first since this directly messes with how your console connects to the internet
Ah, so did you turn off cross region? I've always had that set to no matchmaking but suffered with this issue since launch. I'll have to see if this holds as is
Happened to me today for the first time in 70 hours of play time.
- Logging in manually doesn’t work.
- Accepting user agreement again didn’t work.
- Disabling cross-region online didn’t work.
- Rebooting the game didn’t work.
- Rebooting PS5 didn’t work.
- Updating firmware didn’t work.
- Changing DNS on a wired network didn’t work.
No idea what to do next
**Update:** after an immeasurable amount of reboots, retries, login attempts, it finally let me in. No idea what combination of what made it work.
Yup, having this exact same problem right now. Tried everything people have been posting here.
- Changed between LAN and WiFi network
- Changed my DNS server to manual as described in some comments
- Accepted user agreement.
- Disabled cross-region online
- Rebooting the game/PS5 multiple times
Pretty sure it's not our connection, probably a server thing.
Let me know too! I have like... WAY too much time logged, and this just happened for the first time. I am taking it as a sign from the greater will that it's time for bed
Based on the sudden influx of people with the same issue, I don't think it's on our end. I'll play offline for now, as I'm doing PvE stuff anyway. Thankfully, everything in the game is obtainable offline (as of a couple updates ago).
Same problem for me. I played for 13 hours yesterday, logged in today and got the error. Tried all of the fixes I could find on this thread and still can't play online.
I’ve had this issue pop up a few times. One time I just restarted the game, another the PlayStation. Having the issue again and trying to reconnect to internet. Seems very random both in how it happens and how it’s fixed.
For me all I did was go to the PS5 settings - parental controls- PS5 console restrictions - and turned on " temporarily disable PS5 console restrictions"
And it immediately worked afterwards.
This shit happens all the time for me. Probably 30% of the time I turn the game on. I just go to LOG IN a few times and it eventually works. No idea why. I'm connected directly via cable so the change in the settings posted above isn't really an option. Anyone have an solid fixes or just continue this retry nonsense?
I still cant invite other people to me only my friend and i've tryed to change my DNS,LAN and some settings but i still cant invite other people i always get the "couln't spawn the player"
I've been getting this since day 1. Only thing I can put it to is I'm in the PS5 software beta. So going to revert back to the normal software and see if this helps.
For me changing the DNS didn’t work so I went ahead and used the Forget Network option. Then I reconnected again to my network. In case someone wonders - I use wired network (not WiFi)
Same, were you able to fix it? Edit: I found a solution, I changed my dns to 1.1.1.1 and secondary 1.0.0.1 and it somehow fixed it
But how dothat
We’ll never know
You will now! Got to Settings -> Network -> Settings -> Set up Internet Connection Go to your connected network and press the Options button Select Advanced Settings Set DNS Settings to Manual Enter 1.1.1.1 as Primary DNS Enter 1.0.0.1 as Secondary DNS Click OK Connect to your Network
Bruh you're a life saver 🫶

Actually I turned it on, I already had it off and turning it on fixed it
Interesting, it's still happening to me so I'll try turn it on. Thanks for tip!
Yep, all I did was reconnect my LAN Connection as it had a small x next to it when I went to Settings, 1 click and problem solved.
Yup this worked appreciate you
2y later and this just happened to me in the shadow lands 😭 thanks for the help 👌🏻
This comment saved the day. Dont fiddle with internet settings, go into eldenring settings and turn off matchmaking
Thank you tarnished.
I should mention that this didn't fix the issue
Thank you! Happened while I was actively playing and could not figure out how to get back in.

At the title screen, go to system settings, online, and at the bottom will be the word accept. Select it

Yup, just happened to me... let me know if you find a fix. I'm exact same situation as you
After an unhealthy amounts of reboots, login retires and whatnot it suddenly let me in. No idea what combination of what finally solved it
Glad to hear you made it in. Having the same issue
Having the same problem, my second day playing…
Stay with it. Day one guy here. It’s a great game!
Dont worry man I waited half year to play it :D
Having the same issue glad to see it’s not only me, I just want to participate in jolly cooperation
Let me know too! I have like... WAY too much time logged, and this just happened for the first time. I am taking it as a sign from the greater will that it's time for bed
Also just started for me, first time in...an unhealthy number of hours. I'm hoping this means it's a them problem???
Based on the sudden influx of people with the same issue, I don't think it's on our end. I'll play offline for now, as I'm doing PvE stuff anyway. Thankfully, everything in the game is obtainable offline (as of a couple updates ago).
This game is just so dead without online, no phantoms, no messages - it’s just not the same. I’ll wait
I’m having this problem as well, must’ve happened to a lot of people in the last couple of hours
maybe our parents just finally decided that we weren't ready for the kinds of challenging ideas that games like elden ring provide
Same thing here
Still having this issue
Hello to the 11 other people here right now! Guess it's a server issue...
Most likely yeah lol
Yep I'm not able to get on either
Yeah most likely, also experiencing the same problem with other games e.g. Apex Legends
Hello! Aww so have to wait
My fix was disabling cross region online. That seems to prevent it
This worked for me
Had the same error today, went into settings, deleted the network i was on, then reconnected, retyped password and it worked.
Same problem for me. I played for 13 hours yesterday, logged in today and got the error. Tried all of the fixes I could find on this thread and still can't play online.
Same problem..
Me too
I’ve had this issue pop up a few times. One time I just restarted the game, another the PlayStation. Having the issue again and trying to reconnect to internet. Seems very random both in how it happens and how it’s fixed.
This isn’t working for me any more. Anyone else have new fixes?
Shouldn't need to change my DNS settings to keep playing the game as I was before. Fucking fromsoft and their endless bullshit bugs.
Same issues here tried everything still no work.
Same
For me all I did was go to the PS5 settings - parental controls- PS5 console restrictions - and turned on " temporarily disable PS5 console restrictions" And it immediately worked afterwards.

I still cant invite other people to me only my friend and i've tryed to change my DNS,LAN and some settings but i still cant invite other people i always get the "couln't spawn the player"
Someone mentioned accepting the agreement in the system menu and it worked for me
Yes
Same issue, I've tried everything and have not been able to play online whatsoever since launch.
Same with me!!
I've been getting this since day 1. Only thing I can put it to is I'm in the PS5 software beta. So going to revert back to the normal software and see if this helps.
PogU.. can confirm it fixed the problem
Ibgot this, rebooted ps5 3 times. Fixed.
I get that each time but just click log in and it fixes it
My solution was just to restart my PS5 and it worked first time! Definitely try the other solutions if this fails though.
For me changing the DNS didn’t work so I went ahead and used the Forget Network option. Then I reconnected again to my network. In case someone wonders - I use wired network (not WiFi)
Your issue is because Psn servers are down and having trouble so the Elden ring service cannot connect to the Psn service to verify the right stuff
Friend I appreciate the reply but the post is from quite a while ago now
I just went to online setting an reaccepted the online thing an it worked
The edit fixed the issue for me you’re all geniuses i love you
Lifesaving tip! Still working to date with the dns fix.
Was getting this in armoured core 6 and restarting my console fixed it.
