After a convincing success in 2022, Elden Ring returned in 2024 through an epic DLC called Shadow of the Erdtree.
Quality and awesome, that's exactly what this DLC is about. To the point where many people think that if it weren't an update, Shadow of the Erdtree could be a serious contender to compete with Black Myth: Wukong for the Game of the Year title. But recently, Elden Ring gamers have been suffering a severe devastation.
The culprits causing problems in the game are hackers and cheaters – the “natural enemies” of every game in the world.
A warning post has also been posted by Elden Ring gamers. Accordingly, a group of malicious cheaters are targeting many new players. Hiding under the guise of helping gamers overcome difficult bosses, they have easily infiltrated the world of genuine players. And their real intention is never to help, but instead to trigger new boss battles and then affect the player's save.
Many victims of this trick have found themselves killing all the bosses in the game without breaking a sweat, even in areas they have not explored. The hackers' trick has also been explained when they run a co-op save file over the save file of the gamers. There have been many cases on Steam that have encountered similar problems. Although players can choose to experience the game in offline mode to completely avoid the hassle, this also means that they cannot receive help from other genuine gamers.
At this point, gamers will have two options. One is to start over from the beginning, accepting to abandon the current save, or more simply, to determine that they have “defeated the game” unwillingly. Fortunately, methods to restore Elden Ring saves on PC and Steam have been shared by many people, and Elden Ring players can now rest assured to conquer the game with their own experience.
