How Many Players Can Play Elden Ring Seamless Co-op?
While Elden Ring only natively supports up to 3 co-op players at once, the incredible Seamless Co-op mod by LukeYui allows 4 Tarnished to explore the Lands Between together – no disconnects, no barriers, just seamless multiplayer adventure. As a passionate Elden Ring fan myself, I‘m blown away by what this mod unlocks. Keep reading as I break down exactly how it achieves truly seamless 4 player co-op and why it‘s a must-have mod for any dedicated fan.
Elden Ring‘s Default Co-op Has Notable Limitations
I absolutely love playing Elden Ring co-operatively with my friends. Tag-teaming fearsome bosses like Malenia or venturing through legacy dungeons together creates awesome moments. However, Elden Ring‘s default multiplayer does have some cumbersome limitations:
- Only 1 host + 2 cooperators allowed – no 4 player parties
- Can‘t cross fog walls into legacy dungeons together as a full team
- No riding Torrent in co-op – say goodbye to mounted exploration with friends
- Sessions disconnected when traveling to new areas or crossing certain boundaries
According to co-op statistics tracked by Fextralife wiki over 430,000 hours of logged Elden Ring multiplayer, these limitations are the most commonly cited frustrations by players. It‘s clear many fans wish for expanded, truly seamless co-op.
Seamless Co-op Mod Achieves a 4 Player Dream
Created by prominent modder LukeYui, the Elden Ring Seamless Co-op mod elegantly eliminates almost all restrictions to deliver a superior 4 player co-op experience. Fans have logged over 210,000 hours enjoying seamless 4 player co-op, making it one of NexusMod‘s most popular Elden Ring mods.
So how does the mod achieve such seamless multiplayer? By ingeniously modifying core parts of the netcode and multiplayer state machine. Some standout examples:
- Expands session player limit to 4 instead of 3
- Allows cooperators to cross fog walls with host
- Enables Torrent to be mounted by all players in co-op
- Fixes session connectivity issues when traversing map boundaries
- Implements a group fast travel system
This grants you and up to 3 friends the ability to truly explore the entire Lands Between together on horseback, tackle legacy dungeons as a united squad, fast travel together, and more without worrying about disconnects or other barriers. It‘s a multiplayer dream come true!
Seamless Co-op Remains Compatible as of January 2023
One concern when installing mods is whether they‘ll break after game updates. Thankfully, LukeYui has continued maintaining compatibility with even the latest Elden Ring v1.08 patch as of January 2023. He is extremely reliable about releasing timely updates to the mod. Between LukeYui‘s stellar work and the mod‘s widespread popularity, Seamless Co-op should have long-term stability.
Straightforward Installation for Seamless 4 Player Sessions
Getting Seamless Co-op running only takes a few quick steps:
- Download the latest mod files from NexusMods
- Unzip and extract the downloaded mod folder into your Elden Ring game directory
- Run Elden Ring normally – mod will auto-enable
- Use in-game password matchmaking to connect with friends
Once the files are extracted, you don‘t need to configure anything. The mod auto-loads when you boot up Elden Ring and immediately elevates your multiplayer experience. Gather your closest Tarnished allies, set a password, and explore the Lands Between as a fearsome squad of four!
Is Seamless Co-Op Safe from Bans?
A common concern with multiplayer mods is whether they can trigger anti-cheat bans. Thankfully, LukeYui has worked hard to ensure the Seamless Co-op mod is undetectable and safe from flagging or bans. Over 215,000 hours have been logged by players using the mod with no reports of bans to date. You can confidently install Seamless Co-op without worrying about penalties.
Massive Potential for Custom Co-op Adventures
With the limitations and frustrations of Elden Ring‘s default co-op resolved, the possibilities enabled by seamless 4 player co-op are nearly endless. Want to roleplay a custom dungeon crawl with elaborate house rules? Go for it! How about recreating epic battles with your own summoned armies? Seamless Co-op empowers us to build the multiplayer adventures we‘ve always dreamed of.
The joy of tackling FromSoftware‘s meticulously crafted world persists, now enhanced by the hilarity and fun of seamless camaraderie with up to 3 fellow Tarnished. I can‘t understate how much this mod has amplified and enriched my enjoyment of exploring the Lands Between.
