Elden Ring summoning symbols

Players had been experiencing server issues upon launch of the game, as summoning symbols weren’t showing up and bloodstains were not working.

However, as of March 1, FromSoftware announced server maintenance to fix network issues across all platforms. You can check out the times for the maintenance according to your platform below.

Hopefully, this solves a lot of the issues players were experiencing when it comes to Elden Ring’s online mode.

The Elden Ring devs did confirm that “the online issues Xbox users have been facing (e.g. “Network Status Check Failed”) should now be fixed.”

If you are still getting server issues for Elden Ring even after the maintenance, make sure you troubleshoot your network and find out if it is a problem on your end.

If you have concluded that this is not the case, the devs will likely be working hard to fix all the network issues so stay tuned on this page for updates about maintenance and the server status.
