This Q&A
Q: Why do I always get a message that the purchase fails when I buy some games?
A: Due to the region-locking strategy left over from generations, some games require IP from the mall area before they can be purchased.
Q: I bought a game in XX server at a very cheap price that should have Chinese language, but when I downloaded it it didn’t. What’s going on?
A: This problem may be caused by you not switching back to the Chinese region. Delete that game, switch yours to the Chinese language region, and after the restart is complete, enter "My Games and Applications" to restart the download.
Q: Why do I often get prompts such as installation abort or installation failure when downloading digital versions of games or updates?
A: If the installation fails on the physical version, you may need to consider whether your disc is dirty. If the installation of a digital version of your game hangs frequently, often to the point where the installation cannot be completed, then you are experiencing a DNS resolution error. This problem occurs if the DNS resolves your download address to a server far away from your physical address.
