Update 6/29
- Hi everyone. The mod will be ready to release on Sunday June 30 @ 8AM. While not perfect, it has reached a state where it can be used to play Elden Ring and the DLC in coop. I'm aware of some bugs still present in it, and will continue working on it past the initial release - the next few days will be crucial so that I can work on fixing any problematic issues quickly should they arise.

- As this is a re-write from the previous version of seamless co-op, I will be updating the mod page and also making a post here explaining the new changes, and will post this information tomorrow at around 6AM so that people can know more about what to expect.

- Thank you all for your support.

Update 6/28
- Made good progress today. I went through fixing some unique multiplayer interactions in the game (i.e. invading NPCs). Sadly this took up a lot of time because I had to re-write large portions of the game's code to support multiplayer sessions in pseudo-multiplayer (NPC invasion) environments. They work now and appear stable so hopefully people can progress story-lines line Volcano Manor without having to constantly end and restart sessions solo.

- The mod isn't going to come out tonight since I'm still not happy to release it as it stands. The end of the week at some point is still a rough estimate of what I'm aiming for.

Update 6/27
- Ongoing bug fixes. 
- The previously stated timeline has not changed. 
- Today was mainly making sure previously neglected areas of the mod (e.g. evergaols) were working as expected, and implementing DLC checks between two players.

- There's been a lot of questions about DLC vs non-DLC players. If you are in a DLC area then players who do not own the DLC cannot connect to you, they'll just get a short information message letting them know that they cannot join the session. They will however, be able to play with you as normal if you're in a base game area.

- Not at work tomorrow, so I'll be able to spend the entire day working on the mod.

Update 6/26
-Just a short update today - I've been doing some bug-fixing / feature polishing tonight - and don't worry the update to Elden Ring today (1.12.2) did not affect the mod and the release time-frame has not changed.

Update 6/25
- I was working overtime so I wasn't able to work on the mod today. However testing is ongoing and we've found a fairly broken boss fight when using the mod, so I'm going to fix it tomorrow when I have some time off.

- Still on track in regards to the schedule. Other than this boss, the other bugs are fairly minor and I'm pretty sure I know how to fix it.

Update 6/24
- Fixed several bugs today, and the amount of new issues being found has ground to a halt so the list of outstanding tasks is getting smaller every day. 
- The plan is still to release a public build at the end of the week.

- To clarify - the rewritten version of the mod has been in development since February / March time. The current code-base for 1.5.1/  2.0.0 mod did not survive the update to game version 1.12.

- In the rewritten version of the mod for example, enemy scaling is entirely customize-able. Meaning the host can tune it up or down from the default (per player) to their party's liking, which I've wanted to implement for a while based on community feedback, but because the foundations of the mod were shaky, as I wrote it a long time ago, it wasn't really possible to do.

- The new mod is also much more optimized, and will support more stable multiplayer sessions. It'll also be significantly easier to update, identify bugs, and add new features in the future.

- The rewrite also fully supports mod engine 2.

Update 6/23
- Much of the new DLC content has been tested this weekend, and the mod seems to be handling it well. Sessions appear stable, and a major new feature is working well. Today I've fixed a few crashes and some multiplayer session bugs, as well as some legacy seamless co-op bugs.

- I've arranged for some time off this week so that I'll have more time to work on the mod, and be around to fix any issues when it's released. I'm aiming to have a public build out towards the end of the week, but I'll continue to post updates here to let people know if that changes. When the mod is released, I'll post it here and make an announcement on the discord. Thank you.

- I'd like to highlight that this is not just an update of seamless co-op 1.5.1 / 2.0.0, this is a complete rewrite from scratch, which is why there is the delay in the update.

Not as yet, but he is aiming for EOW (basically tomorrow or Sunday). Life happens unexpectedly though so don't hold him too closely to it.

[RobinTheSpider]

This mod is a big reason why I decided to buy the game in the first place. Although I am yet to use it I am very thankful for you taking he time to create what I (And many others) have wanted since playing Dark Souls with Friends. Thank you very much!

[echo_ML]

Aww, no more Pver bullying tomorrow.

It's aight, have fun you guys <3

[zero]

fun fact that isn't in the updates (unless i skmmed over it) is that luke stated that because they we-wrote the mod, they were able to include a setting for how much the scaling is per person, so you can make it as messed up as you want.
