Back in February 2022, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco took the PVP servers of Dark Souls down due to some security/hack issues. The companies claimed that these RCE security issues would be fixed in Elden Ring. However, and as some players discovered, the security exploit issues are still present in Elden Ring.

From the looks of it, all Bandai Namco and FromSoftware actually did was add Easy Anticheat to Elden Ring. However, Easy Anticheat does not seem to protect players against these security exploits. What this means is that hackers can execute malicious code through Elden Ring’s online functionality.
We really don’t know how FromSoftware and Bandai Namco react to this. Will they also take down the Elden Ring servers? And what about the Dark Souls servers? The Dark Souls servers are offline for over a month and, from what we can see, there is still no proper fix for this security issue.
Ironically, the PC version of Elden Ring has been selling like hot-cakes. And, while the game is commercially successful on PC, FromSoftware has dropped the ball in numerous areas. Its latest update does not fix the stuttering issues that some players are currently experiencing. And while there is a workaround via this unofficial patch/mod, it’s disappointing witnessing the modding community doing a better job than the devs themselves.
Stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
The tweet with the video demonstration has been deleted. On the other hand, Twitter user luke_yui claimed that FromSoftware has actually resolved the aforementioned security issues. As such, we are flagging this as false. That is until someone else verifies these security exploit claims.
I'm calling unverifiable with this. They did an excellent job and fixed all of the RCEs both myself and others found in Dark Souls.
It's very easy to fake this, and I'm pretty sure this is just a troll.

LOL
begone fking bot
Yea the game is amazing 10/10. The port is sh*t and though. Trypical Japanese developers. They don’t use PC in japan because it takes up too much space in their homes.
F*ck off parrot
This is what the game will be worth once performance problems are fixed.
If only all games could be rated on “what they could be, because developers WILL FIX all issues” instead of “ah, this is somewhat buggy, it’s a masterpiece of a game, so 4/10 – Prey 2017 – IGN”.
Yeah, it’s a great game, what’s your point exactly? This same pic you spam in every post about this game isn’t the own you think it is.
Can’t believe a pig corp just lied to its custumers!

game sales like hotcakes cause it’s fun.
Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 still don’t have working multiplayer.
You also don’t have saves, because the saves are not stored via Steam, so that was fun.
I still don’t get why performance is lumped into the rating of the game. Then you got clowns like starnight who are oblivious.
Would you buy a car that hadn’t had it’s tech specs reviewed?
Because those two things are totally comparable, right? If a game hitches for 2 seconds when entering a new area, it literally kills me and my family hahaha.
So we stop critiquing performance. You ok with every game you download being cyberpunk 2077? Thanks to window lickers like you we cannot have nice things.
There’s something going on with certain systems or background processes and this game. I can run it 4k maxed with literally zero issues on a 3080 ti but for my mate on a 3090 it stutters constantly. Hopefully they figure out what’s happening but it’s ran great for me.
Cyberpunk was literally broken on every level, half the quests, skills, npc ai didn’t work along with constant visual bugs. Stuttering under particular circumstances on certain PC systems is not comparable to that.
Doesnt matter what level of laziness the developers can think they can get away with on release. Tech issues should be icluded in critique.
The game is bloody great and I’ve had zero performance issues whatsoever. Starnight is an actual r**ard, just look at the dudes comment history. He’s like a bot that broke a long time ago but just can’t escape his AI loop. He shills for Horizon constantly, and for some reason has dedicated his autism to sh**ting on Elden Ring anytime it is mentioned, and failing miserably at it.

So something that takes some knowledge and effort to fix get duct taped for a while before breaking again… really? RCE exploits are really bad
They should remove that old azz engine with UE5 or something
