Nightreign is a standalone co-op experience set in the world of Elden Ring, released for PC and consoles. However, many PC users are unable to start the game, as it crashes on startup after a brief white screen appears. While the issue is annoying, it is fixable. I have compiled some fixes that will resolve the Elden Ring Nightreign white screen crash at startup on your Windows PC.
Confirmed Fix for Elden Ring Nightreign White Screen Crashes
PC users report that Nightreign keeps crashing on startup, as a while screen appears when they launch it. This particular issue is related to the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The reason Elden Ring Nightreign is crashing is that TPM is disabled on your PC.
You can fix these white screen crashes by enabling TPM from the BIOS. Once you have enabled it, launch Elden Ring Nightreign, and it will run without crashing.
Trusted Platform Module is required by the game’s anti-cheat to work. Since Elden Ring Nightreign is a multiplayer co-op experience, if TPM is disabled, the anti-cheat doesn’t work and crashes the game on startup.
Alternate Fixes That Work
If you have enabled TPM in the BIOS, and still the Elden Ring Nightreign is crashing, then try the following quick fixes:
- Run the game as an administrator.
- Right-click Elden Ring Nightreign in your Steam library > Manage > Browse Local Files. A new window will open containing game files. Launch the game by double-clicking “start_protected_game.exe”.
- Run CMD as an administrator, type sfc /scannow, and press Enter. Let the scan complete, and then play the game.
- Update Windows to the latest version.
This fix will resolve the white screen crash in Elden Ring Nightreign on your PC. If you are experiencing errors and crashes in other games, also see our fixes hub for commonly occurring errors for PC and handhelds.
