The latest patch forElden Ringhas introduced several fixes to minor and major bugs, including one exploit that allowed unscrupulous players to teleport opponents across the map and trap them in endless death loops.
The bug allowed PvP players to forcibly move their opponents to areas outside of the game’s map, where they would promptly fall to their death. Worse, they’d remain trapped in the out-of-bounds zone even after quittingElden Ringand loading it back up. Unable to fast travel when falling, players wouldn’t be able to respawn and found themselves trapped in an endless loop of loading and dying.
That meant their save files were effectively ruined. Whether playing online or offline, they’d be unable to load into the game and would have to start a new playthrough from scratch.
Some players had sharedtipsto avoid the glitch, which involved immediately closing the game and trying to fast travel as soon as it booted up again, while others suggested PvP players werecorrupting the save filesof their opponents to trigger the death loop bug.
The latest 1.03.2 update looks to address the issue, however, by “fixing a bug in multiplayer that allowed players to teleport others to incorrect map coordinates”, according to the officialpatch notes.
The patch also fixes a bug that prevented players from progressing along Nepheli Loux’s questline and a glitch that caused them to die when traversing the Bestial Citadel. You can find the full patch notes below:
