Dark Souls II SotFS has two notorious PC problems — the broken controller deadzone and a lighting engine that was gutted before release. These fix both. DS2Fix patches the long-standing bugs, DS2LightingEngine restores the intended lighting, and the Deadzone Fix makes movement actually work on a controller. Install these before anything else.
