PSA: Elden Ring hackers are locking players in infinite death loops.
PC Gamer ^ | By Ted Litchfield

Elden Ring players beware. Users on Reddit and Twitter have shown that Elden Ring Hackers are entering players' games, crashing them, and sending the players into recursive loops, doomed to fall to their deaths as soon as they log back in.

In the video demonstrated by @EldenRingUpdate on Twitter, you can see an invader activating an ability that immediately causes the game to crash. This is followed by subsequent log-in attempts seeing the player load out-of-bounds and fall to their death.

In terms of prevention, there are two real options for the concerned player:

Avoid online play:

Back up your saves:

If you find yourself the victim of this prank and don't have a backup of your saves, some users have reported a fix to get yourself out of the death loop. It's still possible to warp to another site of grace while falling, with the only complication being that you have a very small window to do so before dying and getting sent to a loading screen again.

Or a computer game that lets you pick up steaming feces in a plastic bag twice a day.

Y’all do not understand what’s happening here. The creator of Elden Ring told the twats on Twitter to suck it when they bitch about the game being too hard and racist, etc.

He stood up to those woke haters, and said he made this game for his fans, not the wusses.

It’s hard, it’s detailed and you have serious dedicated fans who refuse to bow to the woke.

As for kids crap, at least this is more exciting than sitting on your butt passively watching crap. To each his own though.

So Reddit and Twitter SJW are having tantrums. The game is getting huge reviews. They’ve pissed off Bethesda, Sony, Ubisoft etc when those developers tried to savage Elden Ring (uncreated open ended world play with woke BS crap, see the Last of Us 2).
