Due to the game's particularities, please select **Offline Mode** on Steam. Also, in the game properties under the "General" tab, **do not check** the option to save *Elden Ring:Nightreign* game progress to Steam Cloud. If you are no longer using any cheats or mod tools, you may re-enable this option.


1. First, download the anti-cheat file by clicking the **Anti-Cheat Download** button below, or copy the URL below into your browser to download:

**Note:** If you need to restore the original files, go to the game properties, click on **Local Files**, and then click **Verify Integrity of Game Files** to restore them automatically. Alternatively, you can manually restore from a backup of `start_protected_game.exe` if you made one previously.
