There are particular cases when you can get banned from Elden Ring. If you want to avoid such situations, play fair and don’t try anything that gives you an unfair advantage.
Let’s explore what actions can get your Elden Ring account banned.
Can I get banned from Elden Ring?
You can get banned from Elden Ring if you use cheats and other tools to alter the game code. If you frequently disconnect when you get invaded, you’ll get a temporary ban from multiplayer. The same thing can happen due to frequent game crashes and disconnects caused by unexpected technical issues on your end.
Make sure you have a stable Internet connection when playing Elden Ring. Ideally, use a cable connection which is faster, and more stable than its wireless counterpart. If you use a Wi-Fi connection, disconnect all the unnecessary devices to free up more bandwidth for Elden Ring.

How to get unbanned in Elden Ring
To lift Elden Ring bans, you need to accumulate 10 hours of gameplay in offline mode. One way to do that is to leave the game open overnight. After 10 hours of gameplay, the ban will automatically expire.
However, the time spent at a Site of Grace doesn’t count towards the 10 hour mark. Do keep this detail in mind.
Elden Ring Support cannot lift a penalty that’s been automatically applied by the system. Penalties will expire automatically after the appropriate time has passed. To avoid future bans, delete the files that have been tampered with.
What does “Inappropriate activity detected” mean in Elden Ring?
If you’re getting an alert that says an inappropriate activity has been detected in Elden Ring, this indicates the anti-cheat system detected you’re using cheats or mods. As a result, your account will get restricted from using online mode.
If you are going to use mods, use them in offline mode to prevent your account from getting temporarily banned from online mode.
