Just like any other PC game this generation, Elden Ring comes with an anti-cheat system to stop online cheaters from abusing the game. While some players love playing Elden Ring with friends, some just want to enjoy the game alone.
There are several ways how you can play Elden Ring offline. One of these methods is temporarily disconnecting your machine before starting the game. Echter, now everyone wants to disconnect from the internet just to play Elden Ring. Gelukkig, there’s still another way to play Elden Ring offline without using the first method above — disabling Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC).
