Coming back to Elden Ring after years. Any tips? And how is your day guys?

Hey guys. This is my first post here, and english is not my first language so sorry if I said anything wrong or messed up.

I finished the base game a time ago. When the DLC came out I bought it. I never really had time to play it. It has been years. I do not remember much about the game. I am now planning a playthrough and I also bought the newest DLC that adds two new classes. I am not sure what it adds; I only purchased it because I had some Steam wallet money lying around.

Do you have any tips, advice or anything you would like to share with a returning player?

I have also heard that turning off Easy Anti-Cheat can give stable frame rates. Is that true? I play on an HP Victus laptop with an 75W RTX 4050. An i5-13500H. I am not sure if I should disable it if I do not need the online features. Any thoughts?
