It should work on windows, just as well. The only difference is, that you need to run the script via your python 3 installation. Depending on the version of python 3 you have installed you would need a slightly different path than shown in the following example.
It also work just as well on windows. The only difference is, that you need to run the script via your Python 3 installation. The following launch option line works in case you installed Python from Microsoft Store:
Example: `C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe er-patcher --rate 165 -uv -- %command%`
> `python er-patcher --rate 165 -uv -- %command%`
## How it works
When the game is launched through steam, the tool creates a patched version of `eldenring.exe` called `eldenring.patched.exe` while leaving the original intact. The tool then modifies the steam launch command by replacing the string `start_protected_game.exe` with `eldenring.patched.exe` so that the patched exe is always run without EAC. After the game is closed, `eldenring.patched.exe` is deleted.
