Since its release over two years ago, Elden Ring has become a classic of the Soulsborne tradition. With breathtaking visuals, challenging combat, and a lore co-created by George RR Martin, one could argue that it was destined to do well.

In the years since, there’s been an excess of mods, a hugely popular one being Seamless Co-Op. This allowed us to play together without any restrictions at all.

However, seemingly coinciding with the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC this month, the mod seems to no longer work.

What’s happened? Let’s take a closer look.

What is the Elden Ring Seamless Co-Op Mod?

The Seamless Co-Op Mod allows friends to play through the entirety of Elden Ring without any of the usual restrictions. For example, when a player dies the session won’t be terminated, rather they’ll respawn at the last bonfire in the same world as their companion. You’ll also stay together after boss fights. This way, you can play through the whole game together.

There’s also no restrictions to the multiplayer zones, and all waypoints are synchronised.
