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.

same here

Found the fix for this problem. The zip the mod is in has the ersc_settings ini in the folder with ersc's exe, and the Seamless Coop folder

Just move the settings ini to be in the seamless coop folder, rather than ER's game folder.

Add me to the chrome killing the dl due to virus detection camp :/

[Baller]

Download contains a trojan???

[sūchi! シ]

Keep getting Failed to find "SeamlessCoop//ersc.dll" (Error = 3) but I see ersc.dll in the seamless co-op folder

Edit: Fixed it, had to move the launcher out of the Seamless Coop folder into the actual game folder

No clue on how this is the first person that I'm seeing post this? Windows Defender is flagging the download for containing a Trojan.

[Lunar_Lucy]

Anyone got it working on linux? The old version worked fine, now it tries to start and just stops. I am not even getting a crashlog from it :(

[RyuKazé]

It's a false positive. Disable your antivirus program or use another browser to download.

Put the config file .ini into the seamless co-op folder.

Forgot a quote -.-, runs fine now. Thanks for all the hard work

after having resolved the virus problem and launching the game, the only problem remaining is that the elements to allow us to open or close the world are simply not in our inventory...

Has anyone updated yet? I can't seem to find what exactly I should be doing to update to the new version.

1) Download the updated mod[www.nexusmods.com]

2) Unzip the files and drag them into your Elden Ring folder

3) When it prompts you, hit replace files (THIS WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR SAVE FILES)

4) Once here there is an extra step : Look for the file titled "ersc_settings.ini" this file was misplaced and needs to be dragged into the "Seamless Coop" folder above.

5) open the seamless coop folder and open the file you just placed inside. Change the password to "your password" next to the PASSWORD =

6) The new Launch.exe is called "ersc_launcher.exe"

[DecalMan]

How do I use this and Mod Engine 2? I followed the instructions of moving the .dll and .ini to the mod engine 2 mod folder then launch with the .bin, but its not working.
