Dark Souls II has just launched on PC, but a lot of users have been reporting issues with the game, most notably crashes. Fortunately Namco Bandai and developer From Software have announced that they'll be releasing a patch shortly to try and fix these issues.

If you do have issues, then in the meantime you can try these work arounds which have been posted on DSOG:

"1st Work-around
For AMD graphics cards.
- Go to the AMD control center.
- Go to Properties (Digital flat-panel)
- Enable GPU scaling.
- Apply and start the game

For Nvidia graphics cards.
- Open your Nvidia Control Panel
- Go to “Adjust desktop size and position”
- Set “Perform scaling on” to “GPU” // Some people seem to not have the GPU option.
- Apply and start the game

2nd Work-around
- Select Dark Souls 2 in Steam.
- Unplug your HDMI/DVI/VGA Cable
- Hit Enter (this will start the game)
- Plug it back in.
// Using this workaround the game is locked to windowed mode 1280×720
// After setting your resolution and Fullscreen mode in the options menu, restart the game using the same technique. For some people this will allow the game to be played at their desired resolution and in fullscreen mode.
// As a result of this workaround, there will be no sound sent through your HDMI cable.

3rd Work-around
If you are using a multi-screen setup disabling either screen might solve the issue.

4th Work-around
For AMD graphics cards.
- Open Catalyst Control Center, navigate to the Gaming section and select 3D Application Settings.
- Locate section Texture Filtering and turn off Surface Format Optimization.

5th Work-around
- Launch the game.
- When you see white screen press Win+P and select Duplicate.
- The game should launch.
- Press Win+P again ans select Extend.
- Navigate to the video setting, select Windowed to access all available screen resolutions."
