Ganking fix (seamless cooperation)

🎮 **Mod Introduction**

Do you feel like gang-fighting in co-op takes away from the challenge and fun of the game? This mod solves this problem with hard hit/crit adjustments based on weapon and attack weight.

These changes introduce new gameplay and dynamic challenges for your team!

✨ Hard adjustment

  • See pictures for detailed analysis of hard hits/crits
  • Usually only slow/heavy attacks will stun, preventing infinite combos
  • Heavy weapons are now a valuable option for crowd control in teams
  • War Ash skills still cause stun, except for small weapon roar attacks (too easy to abuse)
  • Most spells do not cause stun, except for the obvious shockwave and earth spells
  • Balanced design for 3-player co-op (official maximum number of players)

⚡ Critical hit adjustment

  • Only light weapons are capable of backstabbing and critical hits as opposed to hard hitting
  • Light weapons are now a valuable option for stealth characters in the team
  • Note: Modifying backstab will also affect critical hits, but it is already well balanced

🔧 Installation Guide

**(1) Tool preparation**

  • Install seamless cooperation module
  • Install ModEngine2 module loader
  • Install Smithbox tools

**(2) Connect mod loader to seamless cooperation**

  • Go to your Elden Ring installation folder
  • Edit the "config_eldenring.toml" file
  • Put the full path of the seamless collaboration dll in the "external_dlls = " line
  • Usually the seamless co-op folder is inside the game folder, you can use [".\\SeamlessCoop\\ersc.dll"]

**(3)Install the module**

  • Open Smithbox and create a new project in your "mod" folder
  • Click on the "Param Editor" tab at the top
  • Select AtkParam_Pc, Data > Import CSV > From File > Specific Fields > dmgLevel, select the ReducedStagger.CSV file
  • Select EquipParamWeapon, do the same but use the "enableThrow" field, select the ReducedCrits.CSV file
  • Save everything and you should now have the regulation.bin file in your mod folder

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
