Dark Souls 2 Compatibility Question
I own a copy of the original release of Dark Souls 2 on Steam, but my friend was wondering of getting the Scholar of the First Sin edition on Steam. If I want to be able to summon him in my game, would it be possible considering we have different versions?
Best Answer
It depends
If your friend is buying the DX 11 version, you will not be able to summon him, because the DX 11 Version has a different server.
If he is upgrading from Dark Souls 2 (DX 9) to Scholars of the first sin (DX 9) you will be able to summon him because you are on the same server.
