Some bad guys took advantage of a flaw in the PC version of Elden Ring to break the game of others. It was corrected by a patch.
The launch ofElden Ring has generally been a success, between the reception of the press and the already huge sales (12 million copies sold). Nevertheless, the RPG developed by FromSoftware encounters some problems of youth, like this flaw which affects the PC version. Thanks to her, bad guys have fun breaking the game of others.
Good news, this problem is now history. In a press release published on March 23, 2022, publisher Bandai Namco announces the immediate deployment of update 1.03.2. ” We propose this new patch to correct several bugs appeared with version 1.03 “, indicates the company, which obviously advises players to download it. It is mandatory for online play.
No more infinite loops caused by misguided players in Elden Ring
“ Fixes a bug in multiplayer mode that allows players to teleport others to incorrect locations “, can we read. The bad guys actually used this flaw to invade parts and cause a loop: the victim then found himself locked in a cycle of infinite deaths. There was a way to escape, but it didn’t always work. Thanks to this patch, the owners of a PC version can – normally – taste the fights between players without any fear.
Those concerned must nevertheless continue to take a few precautions: the network architecture of the titles designed by FromSoftware is far from being irreproachable, as evidenced by another major flaw unearthed in the Dark Souls trilogy (a few weeks before the launch ofElden Ring). It is highly recommended to make copies of your progress to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Version 1.03.2 ofElden Ring also rectifies a problem with a quest related to the character Nepheli Loux (who we meet in the very first castle, after beating Margit). Another bug is ancient history: you will no longer die by dropping near the Bestial Sanctuary. Finally, the “Endure” Ash of War should work normally.
