The release of Elden Ring's highly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has caused issues with one of the game's popular user-created co-op mods. Players are having trouble getting the Seamless Co-op mod to work following the release of Elden Ring's DLC, but its creator assures fans that the broken mod will soon be fixed.

Few video games have managed to take hold of the industry quite like Elden Ring. FromSoftware's latest action RPG title has been commended for its massive open world, immense creativity, and its collection of tough bosses. Since its release in 2022, Elden Ring has gone on to sell millions of copies, becoming one of the biggest success stories in modern gaming. FromSoftware hopes to continue this success with the game's DLC. Titled Shadow of the Erdtree, players once again get the chance to explore The Lands Between as they counter new areas and enemies. However, fans hoping to play seamless co-op with a friend are out of luck for now.

Some Elden Ring Players Are Having Trouble Starting the DLC

Some Elden Ring players are running into problems starting the DLC, but there may be a solution.

Those wanting to experience Elden Ring and its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC using Seamless Co-op are now unable to, with players encountering issues with the mod. Now, the mod's creator, Luke Yui, has confirmed the issues and states a fix is being worked on. "The DLC has been out for half an hour," said Yui in a recent statement to the mod's Discord. "The Seamless Coop rewrite has been patched to support it—however, it still needs to be tested. Also, some features and bugfixes from older versions are still missing from the rewrite, and they're big enough to hold off the release until they're implemented." Yui says he's working on a fix and will implement it into Elden Ring as soon as possible.

Elden Ring DLC Breaks Seamless Co-Op Mod

While some would argue the experience found within the base Elden Ring game is already finely tuned, certain mods have become essential for players wanting more out of the game. Seamless Co-op, one of Elden Ring's most popular mods, allows players to explore the game with a friend in its entirety with no interruptions. Elden Ring's Seamless Co-op mod has been downloaded nearly four million times, becoming one of the definitive mods for the game.

In the short time Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has been available, the DLC has already managed to become a phenomenon in the gaming world, bringing millions of players back into FromSoftware's engrossing fantasy world. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is incredibly large, offering players hours upon hours of new content to enjoy and explore. Of course, Elden Ring's new expansion also adds to the game's already excellent list of challenging bosses. Developers have stated there are no plans to create any more expansions for Elden Ring, though Shadow of the Erdtree appears to offer more than enough to keep players busy for quite a while.
