Disable checks and measures that prevent runtime debugging in select Fromsoft titles.
On PC, most modern FromSoftware titles use ***** to obfuscate assembly and hinder the usability of debuggers, even force-closing the game if a debugger is detected. This is done by trapping the attached debugger and/or by detecting its presence through VEH (Vectored Exception Handling).
As the release of the ELDEN RING: Shadow of the Erdtree draws near (as of 08.06.2024), I am releasing a DLL that tries to disable most of the checks, leading to a more debugger-friendly experience.
In one of the supported games, load the DLL through any method, at any time before debugging.
"How to load" examples:
- Mod Engine 2
- Lazy Loader
- Elden Mod Loader
- Cheat Engine's "Inject DLL" tool
DSR and DS3 may be supported at a later date (not earlier than after ER SOTE is released):
- ARMORED CORE VI
- ELDEN RING
- DARK SOULS III
- DARK SOULS REMASTERED
-
Q: How does this work?
A: By locating a common pattern in the antidebug code and neutralizing potential function calls.
-
Q: How long will it work for?
A: Until this (simple) way of patching it out is itself patched.
-
Q: Will I get banned for using this?
A: This is an anti-antidebug tool, not an anticheat toggler. Offline, it should not modify savefiles in any way, but use it online at your own risk.

Q: Support for other games?
A: Eventually ™
-
Q: Other plans?
A: Working around ***** obfuscation and function encryption, also eventually ™
