Seamless Co-op (Elden Ring)

Please read the full mod description carefully before use. The mod is currently in a beta state, so you are very likely to experience bugs. If you do, please report them to me in as much detail as possible and I'll work to fix them for future versions.

Elden Ring is a huge game, and testing every possible route/combination a party might take through the game is impossible. The purpose of the beta is to pool resources, get as much information as possible, and fix bugs as they arise. Updates to address bugs will be frequent.

Since the DLC update, the mod has been re-written and therefore requires extended beta testing. Please be understanding.

There is not, and never will be, any intrinsic compatibility with any mods (especially overhaul mods). If they work then that's great, but if they don't then I cannot fix it.

If you are looking for a bug free experience, you won't find it in this version.

Seamless co-operative play

Simply put, the mod allows you to play with friends throughout the entirety of the game with no restrictions. With this, it's theoretically possible to play the game from the tutorial up to the final boss completely in one co-op session.

• []If a player dies, they will respawn in the same world at the last bonfire they rested at. The session will not be terminated.[/]

  []Defeating enemy bosses and clearing areas no longer sends co-operators home.[/]

  []All fog walls/barriers that usually restrict the multiplayer zone (along with their respective teleports) are gone.[/]

  []All players can use torrent (assuming they have the whistle) in a session together.[/]

  []All map waypoints will synchronise, allowing you to navigate the world in a group easier.[/]

  []All NPC dialogue and talk events will be synchronised[/]

  []When one player rests at a Site of Grace, the world state will reset for all players[/]

  []Game progression events completed in online play will also progress the game in your own world.[/]

  []You can play with 5 other players in the open world.[/]

  []An overhaul to Elden Ring's Peer-to-Peer connection system, using Steam's newer networking API[/]

  Players are free to explore the entire game map (overworld, underground, legacy dungeons, etc.) together, and may split up if they wish

  Quality of life improvements

  Along with core function of this mod, there are a number of quality of life improvements that you might like:

  • []As the mod runs the game with Easy Anti-Cheat disabled. You are free to use other mods (e.g. game overhauls) with your friends, provided that everyone in the party has them installed. Please be respectful to your fellow co-operators, and refrain from using mods if they are not welcome.[/]

    []Frequent disconnections resulting in packet loss and bugs with Elden Ring's implementation of Easy Anti-Cheat are no longer an issue.[/]

    []A streamlined connection system means that co-operators can join the host from anywhere in the world. So even if you do disconnect, you can very quickly re-join and continue where you left off.[/]

    Balancing

    This mod undoubtedly makes the game much easier. To try and offset this and preserve the game's challenge, mechanics have been introduced in addition to the base game's enemy health pool increases as you would normally get with increasing phantoms:

    []You may customise scaling to your preference[/]

    []If one player sits at a bonfire while others are in boss rooms, those players will be removed from the boss rooms.[/]

    []Dying during a boss battle or invasion will put your character into limbo, spectating other players until either everyone in the party has been defeated, or a player rests at a site of grace.[/]

    [*]If enabled, dying in a cooperative session will afflic
