📋 About This Mod
B = Roll, Hold B = Roll on Recovery, X = Use Item, Hold X = Run

Unlike Sekiro an Elden Ring Dodge occurs when you release the Dodge button not when you press it. This can cause 1-4 frames of input lag on top of render lag, which is understandably a little higher in Elden Ring than Dark Souls 3. This workaround spams the B button about twice per frame upon being pressed, forcing a released press input without directly modifying the game. It's unlikely this is bannable but I can't say for certain.
===============JoyToKey Setup=============
1) In Elden Ring Press X to Unbind Controller "Backstep, Dodge Roll, Dash" and "Use Item."
2) Install JoyToKey and run it as Admin.
4) Download the Elden Ring profile from the Files tab on this page (Virus Scanned by Nexus Mods).
5) Place the downloaded profile into the folder that the menu option below opens (Usually: C:\Users\Name\Documents\JoyToKey).
6) Click on the newly added Elden Ring profile in JoyToKey (Restart JoyToKey if it doesn't appear. Terminate from the tray if it minimizes).
Roll input will now always happen within 33ms of being pressed.
You can reduce this to sub 16. 6ms by increasing the processing speed.
I can't think of a reason to go above X4 or feel a difference beyond it.
With this profile ignore an enemy's windup and instead try dodging when you see it's attack come towards you. Proof is in the pudding.
