Elden Ring hackers appear to have uncovered a game-breaking exploit that can trap victims in an endless death loop and completely destroy their progress.
FromSoftware games are known for their difficulty, and Elden Ring is no different. Players have to be on constant guard, not only from bosses and enemies, but from other humans who may attempt to invade games or steer innocents to their doom via misleading messages.
Take a look at some of the most dazzling Elden Ring messages and fails below!
As if players didn't already have enough to look out for, the game's community is now on high alert after the emergence of a brand-new game-breaking exploit.

While this new hack isn't quite as disturbing as the one that plagued the Dark Souls servers earlier this year, it's still a pain. The long and short of it is that a hacker can join your game as a regular invader, and then force your game to crash. When you reboot the game, you'll find yourself falling to your death over and over again with no way out, making it impossible to continue your game. At present, this issue only seems to be affecting PC users.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to tell if an invading player is a hacker, which means you won't know until they've got you. The good news is that the community has already come up with a way to escape the death loop if they do fall foul of a hacker.
As documented on Reddit, players will need to hit Alt+F4 to quit the game before they die. Upon reloading, it's a simple case of pulling up the map and attempting to warp to a random Site of Grace before dying. The only catch is that you do need to be rapid to pull this off successfully, so it might take a few attempts.

If you don't fancy dealing with that, the only other solution for now is to stay away from PVP and play offline until FromSoftware can issue a fix.
