Uh-oh, it appears that hackers are at it again, this time making life miserable for Elden Ring players on the PC.

According to several reports from PC players, an Elden Ring exploit currently exists where an invader can trigger a glitch that will crash a host's game immediately. Then, when an affected player tries to log back into Elden Ring, they'll find their character falling into a death loop - forever stuck in a cycle of falling to death, with their progress effectively lost.

You can check out the video below for a better look at what happens to players targeted by the Elden Ring exploit:

So far, Elden Ring modders haven't had any luck finding a temporary fix for the exploit, although there is a possible workaround that works for some people. As suggested by someone on Reddit, you can try pressing Alt + F4 on your PC just before your character dies. If you time it right, it will give you more time when you log back into Elden Ring, allowing you to quickly warp to a site of grace and avoid potentially losing all your progress. Unfortunately, if you're slow, the death loop will start and you're pretty much stuck.
