♥♥♥♥ the person who killed Gwyndolin, Solaire, Onion boy and other NPCs.

[Bizarre Lad]

I was minding my own business in Anor Londo, but then for some reason Gwyndolin dies, I was really confused and was frustrated because I wanted to get into the covenant. After respawning with an idol because I was stuck there, Solaire died and the Onion guy died too. Now I fear other NPCs have died too, hopefully not the ones in firelink shrine. After some digging, it looks like it was a hacker who decided to mess around with me, but that doesn't make sense. How does someone who hasn't invaded me hack my game? This honestly sucks and I'll probably never play online again because of the potential hackers

And if Socol-76 is blocked, he will not be able to invade?

or it won't help?

Well if Socol-76 gets banned from online, then he shouldn't be able to. Of course I don't know what hackers can possibly do, they might even bypass bans if they have such power. If Socol-76 is banned on steam, he won't be able to play online and post in other forums (I think). At most if someone at steam does see that the user is hacking, they will ban them permanently, but not delete their account.

right. i don't know why there's even been conjecture about that recently, but yes, blocking players will prevent them from invading you.

I'm suspecting this hacker will be doing this for quite some time until a patch gets made which can either take from a week or two to like a couple of months.

this isn't some exploit, this is just cheat engine and someone dweeby enough to actually do this type of thing in dark souls 1 in late 2024. i restate my theory that elden ring was too hard for them. people will report this guy, the system will do its thing, and a month later a post will materialize on here about how to reverse an unfair ban over nothing.

Yeah It's a Malcolm wannabe

haha, cheaters sure are stupid. i just backstabbed one off of an edge.

There will be no "patch", there has never been any sort of PvP patch, Bandai and From don't do that sort of thing. Witness all the community effort\mods that were required to save original DS PTDE for PC, DSFix, the PvP mod called DSWatchdog, etc...

I suppose you could send an email to bandai namco support too documenting everything

You know, it could be this hacker is using that PvP mod mentioned in other thread, tried using cheat engine to do this\that, but he's just a clown and f__d it up, so now when they invade it just screws the host's NPCs. That would be funny\sad...

None of the hosts who mention this invader say they ever saw them or had any interaction, just their NPCs die.

Scary stuff. DS3 had a similar problem for years, but the exploit was patched back in 2022

Well, maybe there is hope then, but don't hold breath. I never saw any patches for PTDE, DSR, or DS2, and did not pay much attention to 3.

We have been doing a playthrough of DSR, there seems to be a problem with hackers. The same guy killed my Anor Londo NPCs, another russian guy no-clipping around. The best solution? Alt-F4 every time they invade you, or play offline like others said. I hope that blocking them on steam does prevent them from connecting to you in the game, but does anybody know for sure if that works?

I looked up on google and it seems like blocking hackers/invaders on steam does prevent them from invading you, but only in DS3 and DSR. I'd still be careful though

[cough, cough] gosh, thanks for that? What!?! Confirmation of hackers if anything?
Plenty of threads on this very topic already, but sure, another player adds their hacked experience who missed reading forum. Understandable if not following community.

people continuing to post about it at least serves the function where we can tell that this cheater dweeb is still active. and i kinda wanna know that. for reasons.

that is assuming we aren't being told of something that happened days or so ago.

[Gregorydale]

Got me too, block and re-roll.

just happened to me, became human in anor londo (where Solar-Bro sits), 1-2 minutes later i was tp'ed and saw the cutscene and my playthrough is effed
