Elden Ring on Steam won't connect to online play

Bought it on Steam, everything works offline but every time I try online it says unable to connect to server. Router is fine, other games connect fine. Anyone fixed this?

If you've ever used Seamless Co-op, that's probably it. It uses its own save file and launcher, and vanilla online uses the normal one. Launch through Steam the normal way and make sure you're on your regular save, not the co-op one. The two don't share progress either.

Is Easy Anti-Cheat running? If you ever used a mod or launched the game without EAC, you get stuck offline. Start it normally through Steam, check Launch in online mode is set in the network settings, and verify the game files. If that's all fine, restart the router. A strict NAT type also breaks matchmaking.
