Bandai Namco Aware Of Dark Souls II PC Problems
Dark Souls II is finally out on PC, but some users are reporting that are some problems praising the sun. Bandai Namco is aware and addressing the issues, though.
“We are aware of an issue some Dark Souls II PC players are having with the game upon start-up,” says a post on the game’s official Facebook page. “We have identified the issue, and the team is currently working towards a resolution.”
In the meantime, Bandai Namco and developer From Software have some workarounds that may help players experiencing difficulty. First line of troubleshooting is focused on video card tweaks. Other temporary solutions involve removing and reseating the HDMI cable, disabling multi-screen setups, and using third-party applications.
For the complete list of workarounds and steps, visit this post on the Steam forums. For more on Dark Souls II, check out our review of the PC version.
Our Take
No one likes to hear that an anticipated game is having issues, but Bandai Namco is communicating with the community well so far. We’ll stay on top of the issues and update with any changes or news.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
