Anti-cheat toggler and offline launcher
🛡️ Important reminder
**When the anti-cheat feature is disabled, you will not be able to play online. ** This tool is not an EasyAntiCheat bypass and will not help you play online on a modified client. It's just a handy tool for easily switching between modded and non-modded mode.
🔒 How safe is it?
Totally safe! Anti-cheat is completely turned off, and you won't be penalized if you re-enable it. However, if you decide to re-enable anti-cheat, I can't guarantee that it won't detect modified saves (like unlimited runes, super gear, etc.).
📥 Installation Guide
Place the contents of "ToggleAntiCheat.zip" into your game folder, for example: "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game\".
🎮 How to use
Just run "toggle_anti_cheat.exe" and it will disable EAC and enable all installed DLL modules. Running the .exe file again will re-enable the anti-cheat features and disable all DLL modules, allowing you to play online again without any issues.
💡 **Tip**: When the anti-cheat feature is turned off, the game's main menu will display "Inappropriate Activity Detected", which is normal.
🚀 Offline Launcher
If you don't care about the switching function, you can directly use "start_game_in_offline_mode.exe" to start the game in offline mode. This will cause the game to behave exactly as it would with anti-cheat turned off. You can create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking the .exe file and selecting "Send to" → "Desktop (Create Shortcut)".
🛠️ Mod Creator
You can make this tool available to your users, which I recommend you do instead of continuing to use the old method, which may cause problems in the future. But please do not redistribute the tool along with your mod files, instead you should link to this mod page so users always download the latest version.
✨ Why use this tool?
Using this tool has the following advantages over other methods:
- ✅ No matter how you start the game, you are guaranteed that the anti-cheat program will not activate
- ⚡ Faster than manual switching
- 🔄 The problem will not occur after the game is updated (unless start_protected_game.exe is patched in the update) - Even then there are security measures
- 🎯 Can automatically switch Elden Mod Loader module
- 🌟 Combines multiple methods, suitable for all users
- 📚 If you are a mod creator, no need to explain how to disable EAC, just link to this page

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
