Support modding or fix the game

[Loden | Heathen]

So you have several issues with your game

1) you chosen to add black bars such that everyone is forced into 16:9
2) Your FOV is tuned to a TV ... a PC monitor is a whole lot closer to the users face
3) Your key binding has a few hard coded keys that make it messy at best to use ESDF layout and it doesn't detect \| and ?/ keys yet these are commonly mapped keys on UK keyboards
4) Anti-cheat isn't easy to turn off so if I want to play with mods off line I have to jump through a few hoops of fire

All in all its clear this is a console game with an after thought PC port, which is unfortunate but tolerable with mods to fix your mistakes problem is to use mods we have to hack around your anti-cheat which is annoying to say the least.

You must be new to FromSoftware games. They won't do any of it.

Also, people demanded FS to implement "a proper anticheat" in Elden Ring. Well, they did it, and now people demand removal of anticheat. Make up your mind already, folks!

Hoops of fire.

Not new have played there games for a long time, don't expect they will even see the post but doesn't hurt to make it in the off chance that they will and actually will care.

As with many games like this the modding community gets it sorted, would much rather have it sorted by the dev but it is what it is.

If you contact Bandai Namco directly, there's a much higher chance (meaning, >0%) that the devs will get the message.

It is annoying sure, but it wasn't exactly that complicated to turn-off EAC and go offline mode. Additionally - if you are not looking to do PvP, I would probably recommend it solely for the use of Yapped so you can adjust whatever the hell you want after.

It wouldn't help with resolution - but there is mods for that as well as I am sure you are aware; then the Key-Binding is one thing I am not 100% sure on. Might be able to configure a unique keyboard profile for the game and re-map some keys at the OS level, but that would be a pain to deal with constantly swapping profiles (or wondering why you try "www.google.com" and ended up with "III.googkr.vom")

After I have put some hours into the PC version I probably will... if I care enough to be bothered ... just installing mods at the moment is the only reason I bothered to post here :)

While official modding support would be nice, most of the mods are executable hacks that rely on code injection into the eldenring.exe file. To my knowledge, there are no games outside of a few open source games that allow this. Not even the '90s shooters (Doom, Duke Nukem 3D) or Bethesda games support this because then you could create your own game with stolen code very easily.

Elden Ring's biggest issue with mods is the presence of EAC which assumes any mod is cheating. Removing EAC would fix this, obviously, but that wouldn't mean the game now has official modding support.

Honestly, I think the only way FromSoft would ever get a clue is if they were forced to play something like Oblivion unmodded and then play it with some of it's top tier mods installed. Then show them the sales figures over the years. Yes, Skyrim is better. Morrowind is definitely better. However the game in its vanilla form has no business being played. The right mods make a night and day difference.

"Proper anticheat" implies it does its job half-competently. Causing performance issues, network issues, not preventing a lot of cheats, and not fixing the issue that caused the servers to get shut down in the first place is not what I would call even half-assed.

Elden Ring is easy enough to mod just wish it had offical support, proper mod support is not a rare thing at all and you can easily enough support community content within a secure game by managing what can and cant be modded. Setting all that aside my main point was the issues they have with the game those should all be low hanging fruit easily sorted and in fact modders have it sorted in an easy to use way.

I dont expect FS will do anything of the sort with Elden Ring but raising it as a topic runs the risk of it getting traction in the community and if it did manage that it might get considered by FS for some future game ... lots of maybe and might but it is what it is.

For note I "fixed" my install via mods and its SO MUCH better once you sort the ratio, FPS and FOV issues. I still have an issue with the key binding as I prefer ESDF over WASD and they have a few hard coded key binds that make that a mess but having played the game on console and PC I can say modded + PC == best experience by a lot.

people still use dedicated computer monitors?

Huh, couldnt been happier day added HDMI by default onto vid cards, nor imagine going back to being cramped up on a tiny desk with a little monitor in front of me versus the nearly wireless and amazingly chill(read: omegachad) setup I've rocked for last, shiiiizzzz going on a decade now.

Do you have like a little logitech 7.1 speaker setup(with poorly screwed in drywall mounts) and an external sound card too for the full early 2000's PC gamer nostalgia trip?

There's no need to start up the stuckup PC:MR thing here. No one asked for it, and its even more immature than console wars.

clearly your not a fan of golfing (guess gotta spell it out, i havent PCMR raced since moving my setup to a console config, and do not understand why someone would persist with the old way, also, now sit down for this, a jest, a troll a lark, a laugh cos this thread topic HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH AND IS ENTIRELY POINTLESS)

.....okay, whatever you say, I guess??? I think I'm just gonna pretend this never happened now.

There are like no hoops to jump through to disable EAC tho. You can
Rename the executable to anything
Change the file type to anything
Copy it somewhere else
or
Just delete the .exe. Then you can use w/e mods you want.
