Make Sure That You're Connected To The Internet

Check that your Internet is Working Properly
Check your internet service connection. Do this via restarts and factory resets of your modem, and speak to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) if nothing works. If there is no response or fixes from them, attempt to use a different connection to check if your internet connection is the problem.
Reinstall Elden Ring
