Elden Ring players are already stuck in an endless cycle of pain and suffering in the Lands Between, but some hackers are taking it even further by manipulating the saves of innocent players. According to both Reddit and the Twitter account EldenRingUpdate, this exploit occurs when malicious hackers invade players, ostensibly for player vs. player combat.
These hackers can apparently corrupt the saves of their unsuspecting victims, which forces the game to crash. When the victim reloads their save, they're trapped in a cycle of endlessly falling to their death, unable to escape. We know that the fathomless difficulty of Elden Ring is a metaphor for many things, but this is a little on the nose even by George R.R. Martin's standards.
