Games released to the PC will always have some issues as people will have different rig components. Most of the time, people will buy games without checking first if their PC is updated or if it meets the minimum requirements needed to play it.
One example is Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. The game has been remastered and is now available for the PC, however, many are experiencing problems, which can be easily solved through these helpful tips provided.
"Already in your cart" Error
Reports of strange "already in your cart" error when purchasing the game online has led a website called Gamepur to direct gamers who can't purchase the game to a working fix. Just follow the instructions provided by the website and continue purchasing the game.
Games crashes
According to Crashwiki, most of the crashes are due to low-spec rigs attempting to play the game. One must first ensure that drivers and video cards are updated and the PC has DX11 support. It is a wise idea to upgrade first before attempting to play the game. For PCs that have met the requirement and still crashes after launch, the game developers are working on a fix that will solve this problem.
White screen after launch
This can be solve by just updating the PC's video card that meets the minimum requirements. A helpful steam thread offers a solution to this exact problem.
Connection Issues
For connection issues, Crashwiki advices PC gamers to check if another network device is active. Disable it if so and try connecting again. If one still cannot connect to multiplayer, change Router settings to enable Peer-to-Peer connectivity.
