However, in Elden Ring it seems that vulnerabilities are stopped in the anti-trap system . According to the aforementioned LuKeyui, the MrsOstware teams have worked hard on the coding of vulnerabilities, including those that allow computer pirates to perform these famous feats. _ “To my surprise, they were all fixed at Elden Ring, which is incredible” _, he said.
