Passing a message from mod creator Luke Yui yesterday, Seamless Co-op Discord moderator Dalvik wrote that “Whereas not good, it has reached a state the place it may be used to play Elden Ring and the DLC in co-op.”

FromSoftware’s distinctive implementation of cooperative play is nice for if you might want to convey a stranger or pal into your recreation for assistance on a boss, however Elden Ring’s open world and loss of life/boss defeat disconnects make it a chore to expertise the entire thing starting to finish with a pal. Seamless Co-op mounted that, with a no muss, no fuss, impressively polished answer. It runs in a separate .exe with its personal saves and by itself servers, bypassing Simple AntiCheat. As soon as you have made it to your pal’s occasion by way of a easy password match system, you keep there till you are prepared to go away.

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC understandably altered the sport sufficient to require an intensive replace to the mod from Luke Yui in response, and he has delivered it in document time.

We had been questioning if the brand new Scadutree Fragment system may play havoc with Seamless Co-op, however in line with Dalvik, FromSoft made it comparatively straightforward on Luke Yui: “The DLC has added many new mechanics, attention-grabbing edge circumstances and underlying code modifications⁠—a few of which would appear mundane to the participant⁠—however have required new options for them to work accurately,” Dalvik defined. “Thankfully, the Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes are very a lot localized and don’t require any particular synchronization.”

Now you can obtain Seamless Co-op’s newest model from the Elden Ring Nexus, and tackle the Land of Shadow with a pal in tow—simply remember that Luke Yui will nonetheless be ironing out a few of these bugs within the coming days. 

Luke Yui has famous on the Discord that some preliminary downloads of Seamless Co-op aren’t carrying essential information attributable to an error with the Nexus, so it’s possible you’ll have to redownload the mod from the venture’s GitHub web page if this occurs to you. Additionally, the brand new model of Seamless Co-op accommodates new objects for activating on-line options, and you must relaxation at a Website of Grace to obtain them.
