ELDEN RING: How to Disable the Anti-Cheat

How to disable the anti-cheat for possible boost in performance.

1: Go to the Steam library

2: Right click ELDEN RING > Properties > Browse local files

3: Go to /steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game

4: Rename “start_protected_game.exe” to anything else (I chose “start_protected_game_o.exe”

5: Copy “eldenring.exe”

6: Rename the new copy of “eldenring.exe” to “start_protected_game.exe”

You should now skip the anti-cheat launching when you click “Play” from the Steam launcher.

This will force your game into offline mode.
