FromSoftware’s distinctive implementation of cooperative play is nice for if you should deliver a stranger or pal into your recreation for assistance on a boss, however Elden Ring’s open world and demise/boss defeat disconnects make it a chore to expertise the entire thing starting to finish with a pal. Seamless Co-op fastened that, with a no muss, no fuss, impressively polished resolution. It runs in a separate .exe with its personal saves and by itself servers, bypassing Simple AntiCheat. As soon as you’ve got made it to your pal’s occasion through a easy password match system, you keep there till you are prepared to depart.
The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC understandably altered the sport sufficient to require an intensive replace to the mod from Luke Yui in response, and he has delivered it in report time. Notably, all Seamless Co-op saves from prior variations will nonetheless work and could be taken into the DLC, and Seamless Co-op now helps non-compulsory invasions for the primary time.

Because of a extra modular construction in how the mod’s constructed now, gestures and objects earned in conversations will replace correctly for all gamers, whereas everybody current in an occasion can now load into the non-compulsory Evergaol boss encounters collectively.
We had been questioning if the brand new Scadutree Fragment system would possibly play havoc with Seamless Co-op, however in response to Dalvik, FromSoft made it comparatively simple on Luke Yui: “The DLC has added many new mechanics, fascinating edge circumstances and underlying code adjustments—a few of which would appear mundane to the participant—however have required new options for them to work appropriately,” Dalvik defined. “Thankfully, the Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ashes are very a lot localized and don’t require any particular synchronization.”
Now you can obtain Seamless Co-op’s newest model from the Elden Ring Nexus, and tackle the Land of Shadow with a pal in tow—simply bear in mind that Luke Yui will nonetheless be ironing out a few of these bugs within the coming days.
Luke Yui has famous on the Discord that some preliminary downloads of Seamless Co-op aren’t carrying essential information on account of an error with the Nexus, so it’s possible you’ll must redownload the mod from the mission’s GitHub web page if this occurs to you. Additionally, the brand new model of Seamless Co-op comprises new objects for activating on-line options, and it’s a must to relaxation at a Website of Grace to obtain them.
