Elden Ring is just weeks away, and security-minded Soulsborne fans fear it will inherit many of th꧙e same security vulnerabilities from previous titles.

One such community member, LukeYui, spoke to about the experience he's already had with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring and why it's given him cause for 🐷concern, even with the game not set🐈 to arrive until February 25.

"I've had the chance to see code from the closed net💦work test and can already tell you that there are a lot of crashes and vulnerabilities in Elden Ring's netcode, the exact same ones as in Dark Souls 3 actually!" LukeY♉ui said. "So, I suspect it's going to take five minutes for cheaters from Dark Souls 3 to port their scripts to Elden Ring and make release day a hellscape."

LukeYui has some well-established chops in the very specific intersection of Dark Souls 3 and game security: he created the , 𒉰which is a popular homebrewed solution for reducing the impact of Dark Souls 3 cheaters in multiplayer. Just like the cheats themselves, this mod is technically against theܫ terms of service of the game.

The look ahead at potential Elden Ring security issues follows PC PvP servers for Dark Souls: Remastered, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3 being shut down last week, apparently in response to a security issue which attra�﷽�cted attention after it was used to hack a streamer's session in real time.

Elden Ring is set to implement the industry-standard Easy Anti-Cheat tool on PC, which LukeYui suspects will foil inexperienced cheaters. However, he fears security oversights in the game code itself means it will remain vulnerable to more seasoned hackers who will theওn sell or otherwise distribute their creations.
