Gameplay Notes
A couple notes about our support for Elden Ring!
During Game Boot:
- Our mod will disable online play and move save files! To go back online and restore your save files, please see below! This is how we prevent bans.
- Seeing “Inappropriate activity detected” is expected when booting the game. We are modifying the game and forcing offline mode!
Game Saves:
- Make sure to Quit using the in game menu! Forcing the game closed will lose save progress while offline!
- Normally your saves are at
%appdata%\EldenRingbut while the CC mod is in place, your CC modified saves will be at%appdata%\EldenRingCrowdControl - This change if for your protection to prevent your account and saves from being modified in a way to get you banned when going online. Your original saves will be preserved, but you will not be able to use the Crowd Control saves without the Crowd Control mod, which will continue to block online.
Spawns:
- To avoid despawning of other things in the world, like bosses, spawns from Crowd Control are capped to 10 active spawns. Other spawns will queue until the first 10 are removed.
Safe Zones:
- All effects will queue and pause while in common safe zones in the game. These zones are usually noted with this on screen icon!
- When effects are sent by viewers at this time, they will receive a message about “safe zones” and be auto refunded.
- Some locations may appear to be a normal fighting arena, but the game is actually reporting to us that the region is protected, which will cause effects to queue and refund so that we don’t break or crash your game. Moving to a different location will allow effects to work again.
Current Known Issues:
- Key item shows 0/1 and is unable to be used: Since the DLC was released, this has been a new issue. A work around is to launch the game without the CC app (which should restore the item to 1/1) and use the key item.
- Manually launch
eldenring.exe, fromSteam\steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Gamewith the CC app closed.
- Manually launch
Uninstall/Remove the Mod
Since our mod disables online play and moves your saves files, you will need to remove our mod to restore online and your saves.
From the games base install folder, remove the following files:
ELDEN RING\Game\dinput8.dll
ELDEN RING\Game\steam_appid.txt
ELDEN RING\Game\ccverHold ALT + Click on “Mod Installed” to uninstall the above files, from our desktop app!
We do not remove the saves created by Crowd Control when you uninstall the mod, however you cannot use the saves you had with Crowd Control without our mod. If you do, your account will get banned on the From Software servers.
Mod Support
Other mods are unlikely to work 100% with using Crowd Control. Test before going live!
Seamless Co-op Mod: The best way to ensure some compatibility is to install the other mod first, and then the Crowd Control mod. Most effects that target you will not appear on other players game.
