bandai claims ES has fixed the remote code exploit that would let a hacker completely take over your PC and has been in all the dark souls games for 7+ years
arstechnica.com

Namco Bandai promises Elden Ring is secure following Dark Souls exploit

"The necessary security measures are in place" ahead of Feb. 25 launch.
arstechnica.com arstechnica.com

but i haven't seen any white hat confirm its fixed, so yeah, if you do play ES you should probably play offline

lol, what a crazy thing to read about, a hacker can break into your PC because of dark souls invasions. I wonder if you don't run the game as admin if its more protected, or if windows 11 gives more protection

Thanks for the update. Definitely playing offline until it's 100%.

If I beat Elden Ringer without a hacker 0day frying my northbridge by invading me and dropping a chromatic estus into a fire, then the game is too easy.

They fixed it by only letting the hacker take control of your computer if they kill you in the invasion.

Why would you not get this for PC? Cinders mod alone added 100s of hours of content, and that isn’t even the best mod just the biggest.
Just don’t pick up anything an invader drops and you good, eventually hackers all get their own servers.

PS5 version is said to run much better than PC, at least for the moment. Resolution is the same, framerate is actually better on PS5. I'm sure this will get fixed but yeah.

PS5 or PC, what am I buying this on?

PC = $45
PS5 = $60-$70?

Where would it be $70?

Im just getting it from GameStop since I still have my $5 February cert, and I forget that shit every single month. So $55 plus some dumb whistle thing

Tip for people starting later today -- you'll probably think the obvious choice of keepsake is the imp key, but imo it's not worth it. There's a lock to use it on immediately after the tutorial, but the boss in there is a bitch and doesn't really drop anything important. Also, there's another key easily accessible if you explore a bit.

Golden seed is the best choice imo.

This is the first time I've actually felt like killing the boss you're supposed to die to is worthwhile too. The weapon it drops is pretty fun to use and seems to be unique. ([Details on it if you want them: It's a straight sword that turns into dual swords when you switch to 2H mode. Also drops a tower shield, which seems useless.)


Performance wise, I haven't seen any noticeable drops on either Series X or S. The consoles are pretty much identical looking aside from the obvious resolution difference.
