Elden Ring crashed on me. After performing a Steam integrity scan, the start_protected_game.exe was flagged as corrupted, and Steam downloaded the original EasyAntiCheat file.
However, I've encountered a new problem.
After renaming the EAC file and downloading yours to the ER folder, this happens:
1. I launch the game and see this screen. "株式会社フロム・ソフトウェア" is "FromSoftware Inc."

2. Then this message appears asking to add optional parameters to launch the game:

3. I click "Continue," and the game loops back to step #1.
It keeps doing this over and over again until I click "Cancel"
If I restore the original EAC exe file, there are no problems. Something is happening where your start_protected_game.exe isn't working, and the game won't launch with it.
I've used your trainers on a couple of offline-mode games, like Monster Hunter World, but this is the first game in which replacing a file like start_protected_game.exe causes the game not to launch until the original file is restored.
Does your game version match the trainer version? Are there any special instructions that need to be followed? Are you running Aurora as admin? Not doing that can cause issues for a lot of trainers. Did you extract Aurora as opposed to just running it? Have you reinstalled/verified the game files? Have you restarted you computer before trying the trainer again? Have you set the anti-virus exclusions for Aurora?
So I preordered the Elden ring DLC. If I disable EAC and use trainer will I still be able to access the DLC once I beat the two bosses to access it?
Yes, it should be. DLC content is determined by your ownership of it on steam, not EAC (unless it's multiplayer related like pvp but you shouldn't be running a trainer in it anyway). There are other EAC games where I played without EAC and still retained access to DLC content.

1. Does your game version match the trainer version?
Yes. I have the latest version of ER.
2. Are there any special instructions that need to be followed?
Yes. Rename the start_protected_games.exe and save the start_protected_games.exe from the Aurora app to the ER folder.
3. Are you running Aurora as admin?
Yes.
4. Did you extract Aurora as opposed to just running it?
Aurora is extracted to a folder.
5. Have you reinstalled/verified the game files?
Yes.
6. Have you restarted you computer before trying the trainer again?
Yes.
7. Have you set the anti-virus exclusions for Aurora?
Yes. I use Windows Defender. Aurora is set up to be ignored by Defender.

I've downloaded the latest 6 GB patch and the issue I am experiencing still continues.
