This is currently an experimental build so expect a few bugs.

(ver. 2.0)

What's new in ver. 2.0: (Updated on 5/23 @ 4PM ET)
- Increased the player count to support 127 players (note this has only been tested up to 15)
- Added PvP, PvE, and boss rush modes. You can access these with the shrines at rountable hold and the Limgrave and Caelid areanas
- Fixed some inconsistencies with packet order
- Modified the way clients initially connect with each other
- Removed the Varré quest line skip
- Added visual effects to rot
- Changed some mod icons
If you'd like to use this experimental version, then you must replace **ALL** mod files *including the launcher*. A clean install of seamless co-op is strongly recommended.
Not compatible with mods; The seamless co-op launcher is required for functionality. Wait for stable release if you require usage of other mods. 

Info about the mod:

- Mod which removes all multiplayer boundaries and allows for connections to persist after death.

- Play with friends from the tutorial to the very end of the game, with synchronized progress, and no re-summoning or interruptions.

- Enemy scaling is fixed (it didn't work at all previously). It now mimics Elden Ring's (25%/50%/75%) buff on enemies for 1, 2, and 3 co-operators respectively.

- Voting enables synchronized fast travelling in the game. All players in the session must agree to warp to a specific destination. Once the vote passes, all players are warped at the same time.

- Map waypoints are now synced with other players in the session, making it easier to communicate where you'd like to explore or areas of interest.

- Evergaols, portals, etc. now all work correctly and affect other players in the session allowing you to tackle usually restricted areas in multiplayer.

- When dying in a boss fight, you will be unable to re-spawn and enter a spectator mode until either the boss is dead or every other player dies. This lets bosses keep their challenge while allowing you to stay together in a multiplayer session.

- A stack-able debuff mechanic called Rot Essence has been added. It is acquired on death and can be removed when resting at a bonfire. There are currently 3 varied effects that can stack both with others and themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):

Q) Can the mod get me banned?
A) No, the mod doesn't connect to the matchmaking servers and does not use FromSoftware's online services and therefore you can't get banned for using it.

Q) What is the player cap?
A) The maximum player count in a party is 127 (1 host + 126 guest players). Only tested up to 15 player simultaneously in ver 2.0.

Q) Are there invasions?
A) No, there are no invasions.

Q) How do items work?
A) Items are unique to every player. If boss drops a talisman pouch for example, everyone will get it. The same applies to items found in the world and enemy drops.

Q) How do sites of grace/bonfires work?
A) If one player sits at a site of grace anywhere in the world an enemy/world reset will occur for every player. If a player is fighting a non-open world boss at this time, they will be placed back outside the fog wall and the fight will be reset.

Q) Is progress shared?
A) Yes progress is shared. But it only applies to actions you do whilst in a player's world - for example if you start a fresh character and join a player to kill an end-game boss, only that boss will be dead in your world and you won't inherit all of the other player's progress they had before you joined.

Q) How does it work with the anti-cheat?
A) It doesn't, the mod uses a separate launcher which runs the game without launching Easy Anti-Cheat.

Q) Can I use other mods?
A) Yes, however for regulation / param file edits everyone in the party must have them active in order for them to be visible. (e.g. if just 1 player uses a randomizer, it will only work for that player). Also, not in experimental build 2.0

Q) Does this worked for cracked/pirated games?
A) No.

Q) Isn't this just easy mode?
A) Not necessarily, while co-op play does make the game objectively easier, it's also a completely different way to play the game. There are plenty of "easy mode" mods out that that just give you high health/damage. This mod will be easier but is made in mind of those who want to play the game the whole way through with friends. It has been designed with fun in mind as opposed to reducing the challenge.

Q) Can I modify or redistribute this mod?
A) No.

Q) Can I use my save game from the base game?
A) Yes[/b]

Usage:

Escrito originalmente por Fang:

Set the coop password in SeamlessCoop\cooppassword.ini
The host must use the Tiny Great Pot to create a session.
At that point, the other players can join using the Effigy of Melina.
You should spawn in at a point nearby the host. Any player can leave at any time using the Separating Mist
- If the host uses this item, the session will be disbanded and all players will disconnect.

Even if we just assume those numbers, that's 3000 players that would otherwise be forced to play normally and that means 1000-1500 sessions being invadeable.
Now they're gone. And more will follow.

Other people can do what they want, and there's nothing you can do about that. The sooner you come to grips with this basic fact of life, the better off you'll be.

>Other people can do what they want
What do you think about people naming their characters after racial slurs?

Every company is in it for money....... no one is actually doing it for the "fans" they're doing it to make ends meet because they're a company structured to make video games.

The two are not mutually exclusive

You are correct. Yes every company is in it for the money, i would hope that their is a difference between companies like Bethesda and Fromsoft however.

how do the devs want you to play the game? play it that way. end of story. fromsoft does not support the use of ANY mods or third party utilities, even clientside graphical mods.

How the devs want me to play the game is irrelevant. I bought the game, It's my property, I'll play it however I want. And If I want to play it with Donkey Konga Bongos and all sounds replaced with Gachimuchi moaning I will do just that.

Wrong actually.

You payed for a license to play the game From owns.

If they wanted to they can simply remove the game from your account anytime they want.

Oh so much this, not to mention that their TOS only covers things on the server, playing offline, i can do whatever i want, including using this mod, which i will.

Best part about PC gaming tbh, if it's broke or uninteresting you can go in and change it however you want.

This is hands down the only community I've ever seen where people get upset about mods that improve the game.

Wrong, actually. german court has decided that video games here are products, not services. I completely own the product I paid for. Removing the game from my library is illegal.

Not my problem your country doesn't have consumer rights.

I would think that person is trashy and dumb, but I wouldn't get up in arms over it. The world is full of aggravating people, and if you get bent out of shape trying to force everyone to accommodate you then you're just going to set yourself up for endless frustration.

It makes 0 sense to me, at all, why people care how other people play games. You do you, and ill do me.

My point was these studios don't care what we want, they either make games for demand or as a personal or group project. If you think they changed some of their DS formula in ER to cater to everyone because they care for fans and not wanting to reach more sales than you are sorely mistaken.

No, they actually couldn't. At least in my country, that would be illegal for them to do.

Not my thing but it's cool for the people that want it.

It's just an extremely small but very loud minority who are against them.

"A big part of the playerbase doesnt enjoy the vanilla online system. However, I do, and therefore they shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the game they paid money for, even if the alternative would just be them playing singleplayer so it wouldn't impact me either way. But I like to be an egotistical douchebag and don't want other people who are not exactly like me to enjoy the game. They need to hate every second of the multiplayer or they're not worthy of playing this game. I don't have friends and I don't want other people to enjoy having friends either. I also love Vanilla Skyrim and getting softlocked every 5 minutes and if you are using any sort of quality of life mods to fix any of the glaring issues it has YOU ARE BAD GAMER."

I could not care less how some company wants me to run software that I OWN on MY machine THAT I OWN. I never used their trash EAC malware in the first place anyway. I absolutely will do what I want with MY SOFTWARE on MY MACHINE. Don't like it? Switch to console.

If that's true then I dare you to try selling ER as your own game. You own it, it's your property after all, right? Try selling it with the mod attached, I'm sure everything will go over smoothly.

Bottom line, no. Idc what country you're in, you don't own the works of other people just because you bought something from them.

People can already cheat their ass off, no one cares about an "easy mode".

The existence of this mod threatens the longevity of a core mechanic of the MP experience and one many of us love. Invasions. It actively damages the experience of other players who are playing legitimately! It also removes co-opers from the MP pool too for other people that require help.

Its at over 10k downloads, the playerbase was hovering at 100k or so iirc? Thats 10% of the playerbase now removed from the MP pool and will probably get smaller.

Mods are all well and good, but once a mod legitimately starts negatively affecting other players it should not exist period.

Exactly. Hopefully From will finaly take action against that mod.

Don't worry, From will take action the moment another moder publishes their code that allows this mod to be used on Pirated versions of the game.

Honestly, I don't care though.
Me and my friends will maybe use this mod at some point if we feel like it.

Just stating that this mod can and without a doubt will be used by people with Pirated versions of the game.
