Elden Ring Practice Tool

A tool for practicing speedruns. Made with ❤️ by johndisandonato.

The tool is free, and will always be free for everyone. If you enjoy it, please consider supporting me!

Getting started

Download the latest stable release here.

Prerequisites:

• Steam must be open. Offline mode is fine, but the program must be started.
• Antiviruses are disabled. This includes Windows Defender. If you don't want to do that, make sure to whitelist the contents of the practice tool in your antivirus.
• You have a legitimate copy of the game. Pirated copies will never be supported.
• EAC is bypassed with the textfile method. Other methods aren't supported and could make it impossible to run the tool.

The tool will apply the bypass for you on the first run, so it is recommended not to do it manually.

Running the tool

Standalone

• Extract all files from the zip archive. Anywhere will do.
• Double-click eldenring.exe to start the game (Steam → right click ELDEN RING → Manage → Browse Local Files). Never start the game from Steam: the tool won't work.
• Double-click jdsd_er_practice_tool.exe.

The tool will automatically appear over the game. Press 0 to open and close its interface.

Installed

• Extract all files from the zip archive. Anywhere will do.
• Double-click eldenring.exe to start the game (Steam → right click ELDEN RING → Manage → Browse Local Files). Never start the game from Steam: the tool won't work.
• Double-click install.exe and follow the instructions.
• Once the process is done, close and restart Elden Ring.
• During the startup, from now on, hold the right shift button for a few seconds until the tool appears on screen.

If you don't want to load the tool, just don't press right shift during startup!

Running the tool on Linux

The tool fully supports Linux and should run on Steam Deck seamlessly.

Standalone

If you want to run the tool in a standalone fashion, I recommend protontricks:

protontricks-launch --appid 1245620 jdsd_er_practice_tool.exe

Installed

Follow the same instructions as above. Additionally, you have to set the launch options in Steam as follows:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
