PSA - DS1, 2, 3 and Elden Ring critical vulnerability

Edit: blue sentinel isn't effective against the vulnerability and until officially patched, it's advised to play offline. Bandai Namco are aware. Thank you @Grim5

The community has discovered a critical weakness in the games base code which allows machine level control from attackers. It was even demonstrated in a guys stream by the guy who discovered it. He took over his computer, closed the game, opened powershell and had it narrate a message.

Bandai Namco are famous for not listening to the community so my advice is to install Blue Sentinel which is a community mod used to stop cheaters when playing online. The creators of this mod are aware of the exploit and working with the person who discovered the weakness.

Blue sentinel doesn't work against this exploit sorry. Only thing you can do is play offline.

bandai namco have acknowledged the issue, if it can't be fixed by launch the PC servers will be offline at launch until it's fixed

Ah, thank you, I just saw the news, I'll update the original post.
