Elden Ring doesn't work unless I completely turn off ESET

[Wolfranger 1]

The title says it all, I did a lot of TS w/ Bandai-Namco and in the end disabling ESET was the solution to solve my crashing issue, gamer mode doesn't cut it with this game.  Any ideas on what specifically is causing it so I don't have to totally disable ESET to play?

Unfortunately I have no clue what "TS w/ Bandai-Namco" means, please elaborate.

Does temporarily pausing Real-time protection and/or Web access protection make a difference? If not, what about:
- temporarily disabling protocol filtering in the advanced setup
- temporarily disabling HIPS and rebooting the machine?

Troubleshooting, sorry.  I'll try those suggestions this weekend and get back to you

I wonder being a game if some game protection is being used that might be what could be causing the conflict but this is just a guess

Yes, it uses easy anti cheat -- is there any way to tell it ok to do what it wants, just ignore eset?

Disabling Deep Behavioral Inspection, Self-defense, Exploit Blocker, Ransomware Shield and HIPS itself, one at a time followed by a computer reboot is easy, please do so to narrow it down.

As mentioned disabling doesn't need any technical experience. By disabling one and then testing the game, if it doesn't fix it you can rule that setting out. Just enable it and then disable the next setting.
