Launching the Game

There are two ways to start Elden Ring from Elden Mod Manager:

Launch Modded

Loads the game through me3 with whatever mods are enabled in your active profile, in that profile's load order, using that profile's launch settings.

Trigger it with:

  • Launch Game on the Mods page
  • Play (Current Profile: ...) on the Home page

Play Vanilla

Launches unmodded Elden Ring directly through Steam — no mods, no me3. Trigger it with Play Vanilla on the Home page.

Per-Profile Launch Settings

Every launch setting is scoped to the active profile — switch profiles and these switch with them. They all live under Show Advanced on the Mods page, in two columns: custom save file, Start Online, Disable Arxan, Skip Memory Patch, and the Linux-only Proton verb override on the left; Disable Boot Boost, Show Intro Logos, Skip Steam Init, and Override Elden Ring Executable on the right. See Profiles for the full list.
