Can't Get Codes to Work

Hi Plitch Team,
I have been trying for a few days now to follow the instructions on how to get the cheats to work but to no avail. I thought I had followed the instructions to a T, but the cheats won't activate. FromSoftware won't let me access the online features, which makes me think I am close, but I am unsure.
If y'all have any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
All the best!

Are you starting PLITCH as admin?
Are you starting the game with the "Play" button in PLITCH?

I am starting PLITCH as admin and pressing the play button in plitch. I made sure to block the start_protected_game.exe from passing the firewall as well.

Hey miller.baritone,
have you tried the steps to manually disable the anticheat?

Hi IronJulia,
These were the steps that I followed to try to manually disable the anticheat, and I believe I followed each step. However, the the prepare button remains gray when I boot the game up using PLITCH.
Thanks,

It's weird that the prepare is greyed out. Can you doublecheck if you're running Plitch and Steam with adminrights? As well as doublecheck in the Elden Ring Folder if you're still having the Eldenring.exe and the start_prtected_game.exe (which is just a copy of the eldenring.exe if you followed the steps correctly) :)

I am having the same issue even after double checking that I followed the steps correctly and running as Admin. The play button in Plitch boots up the game but doesn't recognize that the game is running. No activation sound from Plitch and the Prepare button is grayed out.
