Seamless Co-op Invasions

[Inazuma]

So there's a lot on contradictory things online for this. On the nexus mod page it says the following:

"Invasions

If enabled in the ini file (allow_invaders = 1) then other players will be able to join your session as an evil spirit and attempt to kill you and your party.

During an active invasion, you cannot warp or use sites of grace to rest. Until you defeat the invader and banish them back to their own world.

If you would like to invade a player, then use the hairpin item in-game, and you will join a random player's session (within your matchmaking range) and be able to engage in PvP."

That seems to imply you can both invade and be invaded, however there's multiple sites online stating you cannot, like this one from PCGamer: https://www.pcgamer.com/is-elden-ring-co-op-multiplayer/#:~:text=You'll%20no%20longer%20be,new%20challenges%20to%20mitigate%20this.

that says:

"You'll no longer be able to be invaded by other players, so it's definitely an easier way to play, though the mod does introduce a few new challenges to mitigate this."

And that was only posted 4 days ago.

You wanna know what gaming journalist does better nowadays?
- Harassing dev for refusing cooperation with DEI corp
- Promoting games with either black character or girl with colored short haired obsessed with superman power
- Defaming underprice game with great values because AAA corp like blizz ubisheet paid them to do so

To be fair, invasions in seamless coop are ACTIVATED by default. You have to open the .ini anyways to setup a password for coop sessions (invasions will happen, even if the invader does not know your coop password) or seamless coop won't even start.
And the very first option in that .ini is to allow invasions. This line reads "allow_invaders = 1" by default.
So if you want to be super precise, invasions are opt-out for seamless coop.

You get given 5 items for the mod, 1 to host, 1 to join, 1 to change the rules, 1 to leave, and 1 to invade. You can be invaded by others at any time if you have it turned on (by default it is)
