FromSoftware has been hard at work tackling an exploit that can potentially ruin your save. As detailed in the patch notes, the latest Elden Ring patch addresses the terrifying-sounding ‘endless falling’ exploit, which previously allowed hackers to teleport players beneath the world map.
That would only cause a crash to your game when the nefarious invading player used the exploit at first, but upon restarting Elden Ring would spawn you in those last coordinates, falling in an infinite loop well below the playable area. There wasn’t much to do but sit with your face in your hands, lamenting your save game, and then starting a new game.
