Dark Souls 3 players risk having their PC bricked if they play online From SoftwareDark Souls 3 players on PC will want to be on the lookout for a dangerous new exploit that can cause permanent damage to their computers. A love letter to the first two games in From Software\u2019s Souls series, Dark Souls 3 is still massively popular years on from its 2016 release date. However, on January 22, 2022, it was discovered that a new exploit could potentially affect PC players who are connected to the internet while playing. Basically, it can turn DS 3 into a Trojan Horse virus vulnerable to malicious hackers. Dark Souls 3 netcode exploit can brick PCs like a Trojan Horse. And more nasty stuff. It’s highly suggested to NOT PLAY ONLINE DARK SOULS 3 in it’s current state. Avoid any online activity from Ds3. In addition, if you haven’t already everybody and their mother can recommend the Blue Sentinel modhttps:\/\/t.co\/lposZRzbr1 \u2014 \ud83d\udc9b\ud83e\udd0d Skele\u208a \ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udda4 (@SkeleMann) January 22, 2022 On Twitter Souls enthusiast SkeleMann urged players to stay away from playing Dark Souls 3 online in the game\u2019s current state. \u201cOn PC there is a new, very serious exploit plaguing Dark Souls 3 which can cause lasting damage to your computer,\u201d they explained. \u201cThis could brick your PC, let your login information be shared, or execute programs in the background like a Trojan Horse.\u201d In addition to not playing Dark Souls 3 online until the problem is fixed, they also recommended downloading the Blue Sentinel mod for the game. This addon helps recognize hackers, however, over on the Dark Souls 3 subreddit, users reporting the mod isn\u2019t able to detect this particular exploit just yet, which just makes it even more dangerous. There was some good news from Reddit that the exploit didn\u2019t seem to be very widespread. But, they warned as well that the amount of damage this exploit could cause to a computer is \u201csevere,\u201d and suggested all PC users mod or not stay away from online play until they patched the service. Not only that, but some players in the comments said the exploit could also affect Elden Ring as well, which would be very bad news for the highly anticipated title. Hopefully, this means a fix is on the way for Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring. The last thing anyone wants to see happen is for one of the biggest and most-anticipated games of 2022 to be delayed because it gives hackers an unprotected back door to control and potentially destroy players\u2019 PCs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
