A few hours ago, the highly anticipated first DLC Shadow of the Erdtree for Elden Ring was released. Players, after more than two years, can enjoy a new region, many unique enemies and exciting fights with tough bosses. The problem is that some are forced to do it alone, as they get an inappropriate activity detected error... If this is happening to you as well, read our guide, in which we describe this bothersome bug.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree - Inappropriate Activity Detected Explained

Elden Ring is known for its downright brutal difficulty level, which many find impossible. Regular opponents can give you a hard time and kill you with 2 or 3 attacks, let alone bosses. For this reason, the online mode is popular, as playing with other players is much easier and sometimes even more enjoyable. The problem is that with the arrival of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, much of the Elden Ring community cannot summon anyone or be summoned to help other players...

All due to a troublesome bug that shows information: "inappropriate activity detected". This message usually appears when connecting to online mode in the main menu or when summoning another player (or being summoned). Rest assured, this is not a cause for concern. Most likely, the latest patch for the game messed up something in the game files.

Is there any option to remedy this? Some players answer that it is enough to restart the game and try to launch it again, then the error will probably not appear. However, this is not an ideal solution and may not work in your case. Fans of the game fortunately report notoriously on various social media about the problem, which gives hope for a quick solution to the bug.
