base on Elden Ring speedrunning practice tool # Elden Ring Practice Tool [](https://github.com/veeenu/eldenring-practice-tool/actions) [](https://github.com/veeenu/eldenring-practice-tool/releases/latest) [](https://github.com/veeenu/eldenring-practice-tool/blob/main/LICENSE) [](https://discord.gg/jhF3jTTCUs) [](https://twitch.tv/johndisandonato) [](https://www.patreon.com/johndisandonato) A tool for practicing speedruns. Made with ❤️ by [johndisandonato](https://twitch.tv/johndisandonato). The tool is free, and will always be free for everyone. If you enjoy it, please consider [supporting me](https://www.patreon.com/johndisandonato)!  ## Getting started Download the **latest stable release** [here](https://github.com/veeenu/eldenring-practice-tool/releases/latest). 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 are using a _completely vanilla_ install of the game, _with no mods whatsoever_. If you installed mods already, please reinstall Elden Ring from scratch. - You are not using other overlay software, such as RivaTuner Statistics Server, FRAPS or similar. The Steam Overlay is an exception. - You have a legitimate copy of the game. Pirated copies will never be supported. - EAC is [bypassed](https://soulsspeedruns.com/eldenring/eac-bypass/) 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. - Locate your **ELDEN RING** installation (Steam → right click **ELDEN RING** → Manage → Browse Local Files). - Copy `jdsd_er_practice_tool.toml` and `jdsd_er_practice_tool.dll` in the folder you just found. Rename `jdsd_er_practice_tool.dll` to `dinput8.dll`. - Double-click `eldenring.exe` to start the game. **Never** start the game from Steam: the tool won't work. - 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, don't press right shift during startup! If you want to uninstall the tool, remove `dinput8.dll` and `jdsd_er_practice_tool.toml`. ## 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](https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks): ```sh 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: ```sh WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% ``` ## Help If the tool doesn't work, you need help, or want to get in touch, read the [troubleshooting guide](TROUBLESHOOTING.md).
