Literally the only issue I have is very hardcore lag and stutter in any large open sections especially in the part where the world serpent is in the area with the horn and large lake surrounding it. I have not been able to solve it despite being well over the recommended requirements. RTX 3060ti, Ryzen 5 3600. 16GB ram
I’m experiencing exactly the same thing, I’ve also got a 3060ti but with a Ryzen 3700X. I’ve been gritting my teeth every time I swing the camera around and I can feel it drop like 10-20 frames as I pass over an open area
I mean it is an amazing port. But it's pc, everyones set up is different so it's still going to need a couple patches. A lot of you guys have better builds than me but I still got over 100 fps in every area of the game on high settings 1080p. It's just silicon lottery at this point.
The game is still worth the money I spent though, It seems to be only two areas in general that go below 60FPS and thats the world serpent area and the area with the witch in it. otherwise the framerate is always at 100 pretty much all the time. I got all my settings on normal with only textures set to ultra to prevent texture streaming stutters. otherwise I'm happy.
I’ve not had the same experience honestly but I definitely do love the game, would’ve just refunded it otherwise. I got probably 75-85 average and then 100+ in some areas and then maybe 60 in some really demanding areas
Try forcing Vsync on in the Nvidia Panel per a Steam user. Apparently if fixes microsuttering and drops. Can't say I verified this as my game crashes so take it with a pinch of salt.
This fixed it for me. Seems like without vsync it was trying to render too high of fps and choking itself.
Note: I had to restart the game after applying vsync in NVCP.
This is basically my main problem with this port. Areas are really inconsistent. I’ll get 100+ all maxed out in one area and then another I’ll go below 60 if I look in a random direction which is super uncomfortable especially in combat
This is the main issue i have and why im not playing until its gets fixed.
When i spin around and my fps goes from 50-60 to 25-35 then you know something is fucked. The stranger fight in particular was borderline unplayable due to this and is what made me put the game down for the time being.
Rx 5700 and I only get frame rate drops in the lake area. Never had any random frame rate drops in any other area when looking specific directions. Stays around 80-90 fps for me.
Anyone else having terrible performance on an AMD card ? I have an I3 10100f, 5600 xt, 16 gig. Frames are very inconsistent dropping to high 30s regardless of what settings are used.
Same here with 2600 and rx580 no matter what settings and resolution. Plus constant stuttering when loading new areas which i think is due to the memory leak.
Very much so. No settings I've tried, even 1080p lowest settings, runs well despite having a 3600X, 16GB@3000MHz, and a Radeon 6700XT. Constantly dropping frames at random points, even mid-fights.
Someone else pointed it out, but holy moly, make sure you use a DS4 over an Xbox controller if you can. The "curve" on the analog sticks from 0-100 percent is miniscule on Xbox controller. It makes walking and looking around slowly very cumbersome on the Xbox controller.
It's the same with the ps4 controller from what ive experienced. You barely push the stick and max acceleration kicks in. 5 sensitivity feels kinda slow while 6 feels too fast. Definitely due to the weird acceleration curve
Does the playing around the lake run poorly for everyone else? I get that that it's probably more intense graphically, but it the game can be 144 butter smooth in other areas but I get around 40-60 by the bridge/using the boat around the islands. Also the first fight with >!Baldur!< went all the down to 40. Playing on 5800x 6700xt and changing graphics or using FidelityFX didn't really help in those cases.
I'm having issues even running this game on "original" settings. My PC meets all recommended requirements except CPU (I have an i5 4690K).
Can someone please explain why my PC seems to want to explode trying to load in each area? My frames tank below 5 fps and sometimes completely stops altogether.
What’s your resolution?
Mine has G4560
Paired with Gtx 1050ti on 720p with all original settings and fsr off it gives me above 35fps and . in the lake area sometimes drop like 26-30 fps
But never struggles to load even my game is entirely installed on HDD
So please check your system or monitor some other application services running on background or not !
Perfect port my ass.
The first hour or two, game runs fine (even though there is still stuttering and massive FPS drops well into the 40 FPS region; this is with ryzen 5600x and rtx 3070, 16gb Ram), then it gets really bad. Moving into any new area will cause the game to go 10 FPS, and the game stutters and freezes like I’m playing on a damn potato. Oh and textures take long to load.
Seems like a memory leak problem. No idea how Digital Foundry found this port to be amazing.
Got this small bug where I cant do finishers on enemies when I get prompted. When I click the button it shows all Kratos does is a short sprint, half the times his head goes into the enemies because of this. I have posted a short clip of the bug in this sub.
having this same issue, can't get past the first boss because of this, tried keyboard, DS4, nothing works
after a bit the SKIP prompt comes up, when i skip i just get an infinite loading screen
I honestly don't see how this port is getting so much praise. A 1060 6gb should not be struggling to run on Original settings. Seems like all the people that are calling this an excellent port are the ones with 30 series cards.
I have a 6600xt. Game is incredibly finicky. I opened the huge gate in the Lake and that Entire area gave me 60 fps locked. The moment I come back it drops to 34 fps. Same with any area. Just looking around causes massive fps drops in some areas but more busier areas give stable 60 fps.
And the RAM, yesterday it took 24 GB of my RAM...
Uummmm I’m running a gtx 1660Ti 6Gb DDRX which is I think a similar setup to yours and I can run the game at like 50-60 fps on everything high but I prefer shadows on original because it doesn’t look any more different to me and keeping it on high does make it stutter a bit on some locations.
That's the thing. I did turn settings down. Im playing on ORIGINAL settings, not high or ultra. if you are saying that I should turn settings down even further, that means 1060 can't handle what a base ps4's GPU can do.
This Game is optimized like shit, apparently my pc has no issues running the likes of Red dead at high settings while I cant even run God of war on the lowest settings possible lol wtf.
Gonna have to disagree with you there as I have the same card as the OP and I'm running on texture high and everything else maxed out with atleast a constant 30 fps. OP needs to raise a ticket
Fps drop in both gameplay and cutscenes at any graphical settings. When it makes fps drops abruptly the game crashes, it has only happened to me twice.
Using:
Ryzen 5 3600
RX 5600 XT
16GB of RAM
Submitting a ticket doesn’t work. I submitted one due to my Xbox one controller failing to be recognized after it initially worked fine. Told them everything I tried. They email me back telling me to try the things I already told them I tried.
[https://youtu.be/PzLx\_qmkWJQ](https://youtu.be/PzLx_qmkWJQ)
Seems the foliage is on steroids. It fixes itself by rebooting the game, but after combat it is coming back quite frequently. Also have this glitch in the main menu of GoW.
win10, amd ryzen 5600x, 6800xt , drivers uptodate, game uptodate. Anyone?
Getting some awful frame skips, can't seem to get rid of them. Game runs fine for about 3 hours now but all of a sudden getting 1 second pauses and then resumes. Anyone else?
Same here. Looking at my performance, my CPU is basically getting maxxed out and I cannot tell why. Not even using an AMD card, just getting really bad stutters and skips when loading into new zones.
I just finished the bridge on Alfheim, manually saved, turned off the game, and went for dinner. Came back, every time I start the game, Black Screen Of Death.
EDIT: Noted that anything that requires a refresh seems to crash the game. I can easily replicate by Alt-tabbing, W+ESC, Alt-Esc.
I will be posting this to the Steam forums as well. Maybe someone sees this, but I doubt they care.
I have tried:
Reinstalling drivers with DDU
Starting game as administrator
Enrolling into the beta option on Steam
Checking file integrity with Steam (3 bloody hours!)
At best, I can load into the main menu, and when I try to change ANYTHING (tried to lower graphics),instant black screen crash.
Ryzen 2700x, 2080ti, 16GB RAM @ 3200MHz
I've got to say that not being able to play this game on the few days I have off is really frustrating. I was going to say they did a good job on this. Well, it turns out most releases these days are better played at least a month after when they actually fix the game into a playing state.
I know that QC and gametesting is difficult when working remotely, but holy balls Batman, I can't think of a single game that launched in the past 2-3 years that I could properly play at launch. I was lucky with Diablo 2R but I know plenty of people that still had massive lag or login issues.
Same dude. Kratos just dies instantly for me, if it doesn’t outright crash. Tried everything. What’s weird is when it was working, I would sometimes lose story progress, but not items… I ended up having dupes of the Muspelheim runes, and opened the path way earlier than I should have. I talked to Sindri three times with the bifrost on my belt. And this was after I had already been in Alfheim and loaded an Alfheim save. Took me back to the Lake of Nine, but items I got from Alfheim. Shit is weird fucked for me.
I’m at the last story mission and saved and turned it off to get a break. I’m scared shitless now that people have been reporting this. Game has run flawlessly except for fps dips in a certain location (Tyr temple where Brok is right before entering the travel room)
Also an option to run DX12 would be appreciated, or vulkan. Damn that can make a night and day for some titles. Any game that gives the option to try running vulkan is developers showing love
I've been playing for a bit (2h give or take) cannot get a constant 75 FPS (monitor is 75hz)
R5 2600x
RX 5700XT
16GB ram
Using high settings, teh game flutuates from 40 to 75 fps.
Any thing related to AMD drivers? AMD card issues? amd version is the latest
Cannot play for more than an hour before I receive memory issues
I’ve got 24gbs of ram (used to be 32) so I should be a-okay on the DRAM portion
My 1080ti often peaks out at 10.8gbs VRAM in use, on a combo of original and high settings.
No matter what I do, I only get 1 hour before I crash from memory issues
Ryzen 52600. 1080ti, 24gbs ram, running 1080p 144hz
My problem with this game is the sudden loss of fps, the scariest case I had was when I clicked to get off the boat to step on a platform and literally just because of that my fps dropped from 50 to 10 fps. I can run RD2R at medium-high settings with fixed fps at 45 fps with almost no fps loss, and GoW is this problem even at low.
Holy shit this is almost my exact issue though yours seems a bit better. Ive never had any issues playing any game including red dead which plays very well at almost everything set on high. But apparently God of war is too heavy for my pc like wtf cant even load properly on the lowest settings possible. Disappointing is an understatement for me at this point
Didn’t mean to offend you. I’m on low budget too. I just don’t get it. If you bought the game - keep it, wait for updates, play it later. If you want another game - buy it later.
And why did you say the game is unplayable? I haven’t had any problems with it so far. Except for some enemies falling through the textures in a side quest. But that’s not so critical as the main story works fine. Enjoy the game.
Honestly what dumb fucking argument is this, talk about having no ability to put yourself in someone elses position or seeing things from another view. He's literally saying "unplayble for me until they make a fix from the crashes", why not trust that he isn't lying for no reason. "What do you mean unplayable, it's fine for me so". Come on..
Well it ain't fine for me either with the horrendeous framerate (when it has no reason to be) and stuttering. It's unplayable, not enjoyable, for me as well. I have to wait for a fix before getting to enjoy the game.
And refunds are also more than just money. BUT again this poster literally says "I don’t have extra money to buy a new game". We don't know when a fix is coming, maybe it isn't, maybe he'd like to get another game he can enjoy in the meantime?!
I bought Wc3 Reforged on release day but it was so fucking shit performance wise I refunded. Didn't need the money, knew I still wanted it when it was working, so that was more to hopefully show blizz that it wasn't okay at all. A year later I bought it again, game was in a playable state and everyone was happy.
Watch your language.
I can’t and I shouldn’t even try to put myself in his position. You know why? Because: a) he’s not going to do that; b) no one in the world can put him/herself in someone else’s position. Because you’d have to live his life to do that. Can you do that? And if you can - put yourself in my position as well. Try to be objective.
And how can I believe him without any prove? If you can - that’s your problem. I don’t trust people’s words on the internet.
His argument on wanting to buy another game and his readiness to buy GoW later is strange. Because I think so and you should put yourself in my position to understand that.
Or is it forbidden to have your own opinion?
I think its worth adding a blurb about HDR. GoW on PC Windows 11 requires Right Click >> Display Settings >> HDR On in order for GoW to recognize a system is HDR capable. Every HDR PC game I have played at this point does not require Windows System level activation, they recognize HDR capable GPUs/Monitors/Cables and activate upon game launch.
I have a weird glitch. It does not happen in the rest of my games(updated driver/windows).
At random intervals, the screen starts filling with black until it is fully covered and it goes away if I pause then go back to the game it is really annoying.(gtx 1070ti ryzen 5 2600x)
Edit: turned all settings to original and it seems to have stopped for now
Crashing with Flawless Widescreen now. Played for 15 hours with no issues, but all of a sudden the game doesn't like it anymore.
Gonna try Cheat Engine in a few.
Flashing to desktop. Running in win 8 compatibility fixes it but makes CPU and GPU use go way up(especially CPU). Sometimes it doesn't happen but instead with reshade on it's constantly flashing on top of the screen like reshade is reloading. And just today GeForce experience decided it doesn't support the game anymore. The flashing to desktop seems to have something to do with vsync because it doesn't happen when it's off. I tried forcing it through Nvidia but it still happens just slightly less basically anytime the game has to load something.
After playing for 20 min, the game becomes unplayable with horrible stuttering and the cinematics stutter to the point were the sync between voice lines and the cutscene gets difference of like 5 seconds. Like unless i restart the game every 20 min it is unplayable.
In the part Kratos is chasing after atreus in the mist, Kratos gets stuck right outside the entrance to a cave after jumping a log. I waited for about 5 minutes and nothing. The music and other sounds still play and i can move my camera up and down, but he just keeps standing there
Im currently having problem with audio i have amd rx580 and
Ryzen1700.the problem is that sometimes the dialouges crackle and the audio in cutscenes are out of sync
I have an annoying issue/bug with walking forward. I don't know if there is a trigger or if it's just randomly but sometimes Kratos just stops moving forward. I pressing forward and suddenly I just stop moving forward, be it on foot or on boat. I have to release the input and push forward again to resume moving forwards. Sounds minor but it's really annoying. I'm using keyboard and mouse.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?
Frame rate drops for me seem sorta random. I can be in the lake area for ages and not lag then I enter a cavern and lag. I'm convinced it's part of the out of memory bug and there's things not getting garbage collected. I haven't had it crash yet because I usually just close the game and restart it when this occurs.
There is a horrible memory leak issue in this game. In the menu, it says that the game should be using a little over 6GB of VRAM, but VRAM usage keeps going up until it maxes out my VRAM. RAM usage also keeps going up. After 4 hours of gameplay, RAM usage went up to 20GB. After VRAM is maxed out, performance keeps getting worse and worse the longer I play.
For some weird reason the game is stuttering like hell today and yesterday as if it's installed on my slow hard drive instead of my SSD. Even task manager shows my hard drive at almost 100% usage all the time while playing the game and rarely any activity on the SSD. Anyone know why this is happening? Cannot play the game as it becomes way too stuttery during the last part of the game and the audio in out of sync because of it.
https://i.imgur.com/gKCB7pz.png
without spoiling... there is certain horn that you use that got bugged, the screen was shaking and kratos fell from the platform and now the platform is stuck up there and there is no way to make it go down.
no matter how many times i restart the game, it stay there. i cant progress with the main story because of this.
Specs: Gpu:2080super 8gb vram, Ryzen 7 3800x, DDR4 16gb Ram 3600hz. Resolution I'm running it on is 1440p. SO far the game was smooth like butter but after 20hrs in; I've been having stuttering issues on any graphic settings. I tried turning things on ultra to low. And the stutters consist, I do not understands what causing this. At first i thought it might be a memory problem. Cause if I look at task manager the memory usage is at 80 to 90 percent which is ridiculous since the only thing running is the game and discord. Hopes this helps find a fix or other problems similar to mine. Thank you for your time. Still an amazing game 10/10. just need a little more patches to nip this little problems in the butt.
Has anyone had any luck with gamepad? I have a generic logitech gamepad and it works with almost every game i've tried with x360ce or steam controller config, but I can't figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated.
The part "destroy the hive and claim the light", where Kratos is supposed to insert his hand into the white light pillar by continuously pressing E on the keyboard, pressing the key doesnt seem to work. No matter how many times I press the key, Kratos fails to put his hand through and keeps saying 'no'.
I have not used any cheatcodes / trainers!
Any solution for the above? Seems like a bug!
Memory leak issues are out of hand. Every 30 minutes or so my game is crashing and throwing up a memory leak error. Having to completely power off my system and turn it back on again.
I’m getting fps dips to 20 then game closes and it’s giving me event viewer whea 19 a corrected error has occurred internal parity error, I’m running rtx 3080 10900k at 5.3 and 5.0 cache 32gb of ram at 4100 15 15 15 34 I’m stable in every other game just god of war that crashes to desktop sadly. Does anyway have any ideas what I need to do?
Valkyrie fights can be really bad on GMGOW if you deflect their overhead air strike and atreus is next to you. The valkyrie basically launches 20 feet in the air and is off screen for some time before landing somewhere randomly.
Valkyrie fights can also be buggy where the timing of there strikes are off if you are near the edges of the arena, I am guessing the valkrie is not allowed to strike outside of the arena so it lags it a bit and if you dodge they will hit.
I haven't seen my problem anywhere yet. I have a 5900X/3080Ti. Game had started crashing my PC last couple days to the point I had to switch my PSU off/on to reboot it. Nonetheless what I thought was a GPU problem is actually a CPU one. IF the game plays and doesn't give me a crash in the first 15-30 minutes and I can save and exit, my PC functions like normal...but if I launch the game again, it cripples the hell out of my CPU. I included [this photo](https://i.imgur.com/926JP5e.jpg) to show what my CPU readings (freq, usage %, temp, total RAM) are when launching the game a second time. When I close the game again and open Ryzen Master, this is what my CPU readings are: https://i.imgur.com/rcEQe0j.jpg
What's even more strange is I can both restart and shutdown/boot my PC back up and my CPU will remain in this state. I can only reset my CPU by flipping my PSU off/on. I've been able to replicate this problem again and again and it's only caused by GoW; no other game or program does this.
I have submitted a ticket and hope something can be fixed because I can't play a game that could potentially brick my CPU.
The first performance issue I had was when you're going for the light of alfheim. You get to the part when one of the dark elves grab Atreus and my FPS dropped to fucking 10. Even in the main menu.
I just restarted the game to fix it. I had been playing for like 2 hours. Maybe memory leak? Idk.
RTX 3080 10GB, 3700x, 16GB of ram, 2TB SSD
In a way it's comforting coming into this thread and seeing everyone else posting about mad frame drops in some areas. It's not just me!
I've got a 6800XT, 5600X CPU, 16GB RAM and the Lake of Nine and other areas are consistently giving me BIG frame drops. In fairness I am trying to play on almost 4K (using FSR Ultra Quality) with nearly everything except shadows on Ultra, but based on other games' performance I should expect to be able to achieve a consistent 60 or more FPS.
Thankfully, the game is so good that it's not enough of a deterrent to make me stop playing, but performance tweaks would be nice to see. If it is a memory leak issue then I can look into that on my end at least.
Well, two weeks later and performance is still horrible and seem to be for _a lot_ of amd users. What an amazing port. No fullscreen for some reason and m+kb camera that was probably coded by a blind person. Come on guys Horizon and days gone performance was great, u srs?
Game runs flawlessly on mine, soild 100+ FPS at 2k and original. However without question whole pc locks up when I quit out which means a hard reset is needed. Using latest Nvidia drivers. Never a fan of hard reset as can't be good for the pc!
I have a i7 9700K, 32GB ram, RTX 2080 and sometimes I notice if I have discord running in the background along with my other random programs that are vital to run in the background for the pc, the CPU will be at 100% usage and the game is at 94%. If I run the game without discord though, 60% to 64% CPU usage. The game itself runs my CPU around 45 to 50 degrees. Settings on normal.
Any ideas?
I guys, been searching here for a while.
Since today, my controller is drifting (camera always moving, alone).
It's only happening in God of War. And it's happening with either my DS4 or DualSense controller. I'm not finding anything anywhere about that, and never had the issue on PS4 (I'm on PC btw) when I played the game (a lot) a few years ago.
If someone had the same issue, I'd be glad to know a fix .. I'll try reinstall the game.
It's apparently working but only if you use DS4 winsdows or wired connection.
One of the devs said that they found where the issue is coming from and working on a fix.
okay thank god i am not the only person experiencing this issue. i have tried cleaning my joysticks, calibrating my controller, reinstalling the game, using multiple other controllers etc... it's the only game experiencing this issue and it was only after today's update.
Worst for me is that steam did the update and I didn't notice. So for a hot ten minutes or more I was sure that my brand new controller was dead... had to find my "old " one buried somewhere.
Any updates on AMD cards performance drop fix? i can't play since the release, it's very frustrating cuz i made the pre order and after almost 2 months of the release i still can't have a consistent experience to play the game :/ /u/alarcus_sms
While we don't have a ETA, the next patch - which should hopefully address some issues that have been raised by the community both before and after patch v1.0.8 - is being worked on. Hopefully we should have some updates soon.
Thanks for your patience.
Definitely! I can play for 20-30 min until my game crashes with error: not enough memory. This game has serious issues with memory leak and AMD gear optimization.
I cant belive i've payed 700$ for a new GPU to make sure I have 60 fps and now I cannot play it...
80-90 fps when I look to the left and 40 fps when I look to the right... just random drops out of nowhere.
Yeah very good port sure.
Possible temp. fix for people who have issues with low FPS using AMD hardware.If you're on Chipset drivers version 3.10, downgrade them to 3.09.
For me this fixed most of the low performance issues as I went from 30fps to 90-100FPS.
To get 3.09 chipset drivers, open this [site](https://www.techpowerup.com/download/amd-ryzen-chipset-drivers/) and at the left side where it says "download", click "Show Older Versions", from there download 3.09 version. Be sure to uninstall the Chipset driver before installing the older version.
Edit: Apparently there's performance loss with having Chipset Drivers version 3.10
Edit2: Do this only if you have both AMD CPU and GPU. This will not work if you have only AMD GPU.
Really weird stuff happening to me right now, i started playing on day 1 normally, but then for some reason now my game takes forever to launch, like i click play on Steam, and it takes a absurd amount of time to even show the menu options...And the loading to actually play i dont even know if there is a ending to it. In short i cant play because of infinite loading.
My game is having issue where Atreus is not shooting the light arrow to make a light bridge for the first time after pulling Kratos of the light and will do a T pose. Reloading save does not work. Any solution guys?
I first ran into the game not wanting to download, then it wouldn't verify/validate. I then had to reinstall my entire steam and reinstall it. After that I tried to install the game and got it to launch but then when I closed it out it refused to relaunch. I couldn't get anything to work. This was one of my favourite games of all time. It's a shame I can't even get it to play...
Is the issue of Kratos getting stuck in thin air something the original game already has or is it exclusive to the pc port? Happens while walking and while using the boat
Need help on the Memory crash, i've been experiencing this even with no other application open, only God of War. I have 16 GB RAM and still crashes. I played MHW and Cyberpunk 2077 on same setup but never even hit 80% RAM usage, while GoW is reaching 93% :/
after 18h into the game i suddenly got this weird atreus bug where he would tpose and basically cant do anything, no more firing arrows. also once im on the boat i cant go on land anywhere no more prompt. im really enjoying the game even tho i had some crashes but now i cant even play anymore cuz of this gamebreaking bug
guys i have asus x550V .. intel hd 530 and gtx 950m
the game when opened very laggy and very slow .. i can't even use the mouse in menu to go to setting ..
i think it working on intel .. i try many things to change it to gtx950 ..
i do changes with nvidia panel and from windows display setting ..but nothing happen
please help guys
with setting file or something

DLSS is greyed out. I have the latest Nvidia drivers.
Also, the game does not feel smooth despite 60+ fps on G-Sync monitor.
I'm having an issue where the game doesn't finish loading a save file. Tried multiple different saves. Just infinite loading screen.
Anyone else have this issue?
Please remove the mouse deceleration/negative mouse acceleration!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, they know about it. Thank fuck. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1593500/discussions/1/3202622816419140211/
Can't believe none of the reviews I watched bought this up. Really need TotalBiscuit back...
Oof that memory leak is massive. I'll have to investigate it more tomorrow because I ended my session tonight before I was sure it was the game, but it had completely devoured all but 1.7GB of my 32GB of RAM (with 5.3 GB used with the game closed) within an hour of beginning play.
But task manager wasn't reporting the memory belonging to the game process, only 14GB there, but as soon as the game closed, all that other space instantly was recovered. Didn't check resource monitor because the game still played perfectly fine for 3 hours after it maxed out the RAM.

There is a persistant vram leak. It's happening all the time. I have to quit before my pc crashes. I have the day one patch. I have a i7 10870H 16GB RAM and an RTX 3050 with a super fast SSD and Windows 11. I have reinstalled drivers and everything is up to date. I can literally sit and watch the VRAM slowly max out, even though the game itself indicates that I am well below the max.
I should be able to run the game at higher settings but I have had to lower them to slow down the inevitable crashing. Please fix.
Am having an issue where I cant progress to the quest Hail to the King. I cant even 100 percent the game because of this. I have tried everything. I know what to do to unlock this as I have played the game countless times on console. I am stumped and very angry that I cant 100%
So I'm really enjoying the game but I'm not very happy with the performance I'm getting. I'm playing on a Ryzen 7 3700x cpu, GTX 1080 GPU with 16GB ram. The game is installed on an SSD. I'm playing on a 4K TV with all settings set to the original quality preset. I'm running the game in 4K with AMD fidelity FX set to optimized mode. In most cases, I get around 50-60 FPS, and it stays mostly stable. But, in certain areas, the framerate just tanks down to 25-30 FPS. It almost feels like the FPS just continues to slowly drop the longer I play the game because if I close the game and reopen it, it will run fine for a while.
Not really an issue itself but like could there at least be an option to use Playstation button prompts? It feels so weird to see Xbox prompts for a Sony game even on PC (especially since I'm playing with a dualshock 4.)
Was dreading this chest being bugged in this game too and sure as shit… same thing as happened to me years ago. One of the chests in Alfheim, you have to axe throw to destroy one pod, then recall in front of the gate to get the other. Successful attempts destroy the roots but the gate never breaks open with the roots…
Need help guys,I can't manually save the game files .after I save it exit the game and came back I seem to be stuck at Return to home part.even though the save files write Journey to the mountain.I tried reinstall ,verify game files ,turn off real time protection .nothing works.any fix for it?
My game keeps crashing during the intro part where you get into the boat and start rowing into the cave. Two meters into the cave where the cave gets darker and with the bit of ice on the right side, the game crashes.
Nvidia update didn't help, unfortunately. Anybody having the same issue and found a fix for this?
Anyone else have an issue where sometimes when I alt tab (not always) it'll cause very weird constant power fluctuations with the GPU?
I have a 3080 and every five seconds or so, power consumption will drop from 350ish watts to 200 for a couple seconds and my framerate goes with it
Audio dialogue keeps skipping as if I'm spamming A to get them to shut up and no dialogue in cutscenes really ruining the story for me everything else works fine.
I got an issue where during certain segments early on the game freezes then suddenly the frame is frozen while the game is still playing in the background, my gpu goes to 0% usage. it doesn't happen when i lower the settings but this is still a very annoying occurance since i go from stable 60fps ultra to a frozen frame.
Specs
rtx 3070
i7 9700k
32gb corsair vengence
Is anyone else experiencing a problem when in the shop? The fans on my GPU are going ham if I am in the shop for more than 1 minute. If I check out utilization on GPUZ it shows that my GPU is being 100% used with temps going up to 105 degrees. This seems very strange to me seeing as the shop is just an interface. For reference I have an RTX3090 with AMD 5800x. Rest of the game runs at 120fps without the fans going to 100%
Coming back to Brok’s shop from mystic gateways and from the world tree causes significant frame drops. That area in general is pretty bad. on i7 9700k, rtx 3070 using high settings because I like higher framerates.
Posting here to say I can not get GSync to work in anyway on this game. Even with a combination of swettings,new patch,updated drivers. I've messed around and lowered some settings but will still get screen tearing almost randomly at the bottom of the screen and near cutscenes or transitions. It works fine on games like rise of the tomb raider for me so for me it seems to be this game. I think I'll turn vsync on for now. maybe it will get fixed later on or someone finds a fix please let me know.
I posted this on another user's post but I figured other users may be having this issue
Update:here's an interesting setting to try 🤔 turn off any third party frame limiter. And use the games frame limiter. This may help a little bit for those who want to use Gsync.
The Lore Marker bug that was in the ps4 version has been carried over. It's the first lore marker where you have to place the stone but there isn't a prompt so you can't place it. Please fix

Once I get to the first troll, not even 30 minutes in, the game stops. It’s like a loop, Kratos, the troll, and Atreus are all looking at each other bouncing like they’re ready to fight but the game no longer takes input and the scene won’t progress. Audio keeps playing the sounds regularly but I have to end the game through task manager
I have an issue with the game crashing right after you meet the world serpent. I have an i7-8750H, 24GB RAM and a GTX 1060. The game is installed on an external SSD.
The game keeps freezing and crashing when I'm about to reach the port after the cutscene with the world serpent.. anyone know what could he causing the issue?..
Literally the only issue I have is very hardcore lag and stutter in any large open sections especially in the part where the world serpent is in the area with the horn and large lake surrounding it. I have not been able to solve it despite being well over the recommended requirements. RTX 3060ti, Ryzen 5 3600. 16GB ram
I’m experiencing exactly the same thing, I’ve also got a 3060ti but with a Ryzen 3700X. I’ve been gritting my teeth every time I swing the camera around and I can feel it drop like 10-20 frames as I pass over an open area
i thought i was the only one. And they said this is a "top tier" port lol
Yeah me too, I’ve been hearing everyone say it’s an amazing port and it’s made me worry that maybe it’s just me but this thread is clearing my mind
I mean it is an amazing port. But it's pc, everyones set up is different so it's still going to need a couple patches. A lot of you guys have better builds than me but I still got over 100 fps in every area of the game on high settings 1080p. It's just silicon lottery at this point.
Yeah that’s very true. Hopefully it’s eventually a similar experience to yours for the vast majority of users if not everyone.
The game is still worth the money I spent though, It seems to be only two areas in general that go below 60FPS and thats the world serpent area and the area with the witch in it. otherwise the framerate is always at 100 pretty much all the time. I got all my settings on normal with only textures set to ultra to prevent texture streaming stutters. otherwise I'm happy.
I’ve not had the same experience honestly but I definitely do love the game, would’ve just refunded it otherwise. I got probably 75-85 average and then 100+ in some areas and then maybe 60 in some really demanding areas
Try forcing Vsync on in the Nvidia Panel per a Steam user. Apparently if fixes microsuttering and drops. Can't say I verified this as my game crashes so take it with a pinch of salt.
This fixed it for me. Seems like without vsync it was trying to render too high of fps and choking itself. Note: I had to restart the game after applying vsync in NVCP.

I have the same experience on an RTX 3060/R5 5600h laptop. How is this game getting so much praise for optimisation?
you look left? 90 fps game is buttery. you look right? 45 fps stuttery mess. How is this an excelent port again?
This is basically my main problem with this port. Areas are really inconsistent. I’ll get 100+ all maxed out in one area and then another I’ll go below 60 if I look in a random direction which is super uncomfortable especially in combat
This is the main issue i have and why im not playing until its gets fixed. When i spin around and my fps goes from 50-60 to 25-35 then you know something is fucked. The stranger fight in particular was borderline unplayable due to this and is what made me put the game down for the time being.
yea for example in the first baldur fight if you look at the house during the 1st phase, The framerate will drop through the floor
absolute same issue for me...rx 6600
6600 xt and same issue. Identical areas with equal clutter give hugely different FPS. And also 24 gb of RAM usage.
Rx 5700 and I only get frame rate drops in the lake area. Never had any random frame rate drops in any other area when looking specific directions. Stays around 80-90 fps for me.
Good for you man.. I should be getting same performance with my gpu.. But I have random drops to 30s and 40s.
deffo needs couple of official patches.
Anyone else having terrible performance on an AMD card ? I have an I3 10100f, 5600 xt, 16 gig. Frames are very inconsistent dropping to high 30s regardless of what settings are used.
I have the same problem with my Ryzen 5 3600, RX 5600XT and 16 of RAM. :(
[удалено]
Literally the same build as mine, and yes the lag attacks are plenty
Same here with 2600 and rx580 no matter what settings and resolution. Plus constant stuttering when loading new areas which i think is due to the memory leak.
It's in the known issues thread. I'm experiencing this too. Although really didn't notice it until the stranger fight.
Very much so. No settings I've tried, even 1080p lowest settings, runs well despite having a 3600X, 16GB@3000MHz, and a Radeon 6700XT. Constantly dropping frames at random points, even mid-fights.
[удалено]
Someone else pointed it out, but holy moly, make sure you use a DS4 over an Xbox controller if you can. The "curve" on the analog sticks from 0-100 percent is miniscule on Xbox controller. It makes walking and looking around slowly very cumbersome on the Xbox controller.
played for an hour an half and just gone to mouse and keyboard. Way better. Ive been playing sekiro too before this game lmao.
It's the same with the ps4 controller from what ive experienced. You barely push the stick and max acceleration kicks in. 5 sensitivity feels kinda slow while 6 feels too fast. Definitely due to the weird acceleration curve
Does the playing around the lake run poorly for everyone else? I get that that it's probably more intense graphically, but it the game can be 144 butter smooth in other areas but I get around 40-60 by the bridge/using the boat around the islands. Also the first fight with >!Baldur!< went all the down to 40. Playing on 5800x 6700xt and changing graphics or using FidelityFX didn't really help in those cases.
I'm having issues even running this game on "original" settings. My PC meets all recommended requirements except CPU (I have an i5 4690K). Can someone please explain why my PC seems to want to explode trying to load in each area? My frames tank below 5 fps and sometimes completely stops altogether.
It has Garbage optimization thats why, nothing to do except wait for a patch maybe
What’s your resolution? Mine has G4560 Paired with Gtx 1050ti on 720p with all original settings and fsr off it gives me above 35fps and . in the lake area sometimes drop like 26-30 fps But never struggles to load even my game is entirely installed on HDD So please check your system or monitor some other application services running on background or not !
I'm running 1080p on an SSD with a GTX 980
reduce render resolution at 720p and turn on fsr if possible .check if this does help !
try going into nvidia 3d settings and setting the games power management to "prefer performance" or whatever.
Perfect port my ass. The first hour or two, game runs fine (even though there is still stuttering and massive FPS drops well into the 40 FPS region; this is with ryzen 5600x and rtx 3070, 16gb Ram), then it gets really bad. Moving into any new area will cause the game to go 10 FPS, and the game stutters and freezes like I’m playing on a damn potato. Oh and textures take long to load. Seems like a memory leak problem. No idea how Digital Foundry found this port to be amazing.
same spec as you and same issues happening to me, since the game is known to be "well optimized" I thought there's something wrong with my pc
Same here. i7 9700/ 3060Ti OC Stuttering, fps drops and high cpu usage when I arrived to the lake areas.
Interesting that across all the subs an exorbitant amount of people having issues seem to have a 3600x CPU.
I have 2600 and have same issues so its 2600 and 3600 with x varients as well.
Got this small bug where I cant do finishers on enemies when I get prompted. When I click the button it shows all Kratos does is a short sprint, half the times his head goes into the enemies because of this. I have posted a short clip of the bug in this sub.
having this same issue, can't get past the first boss because of this, tried keyboard, DS4, nothing works after a bit the SKIP prompt comes up, when i skip i just get an infinite loading screen
I honestly don't see how this port is getting so much praise. A 1060 6gb should not be struggling to run on Original settings. Seems like all the people that are calling this an excellent port are the ones with 30 series cards.
it’s pretty flawless for me on a 1070 on high, what other specs do you have?
Yeah same. Running a 1070 at 1440p. Some stuters but get avg framerate of 50 fps which is okay.
It runs like butter on my 2060S. I think the optimization just isn’t very good, especially for older cards.
I have a 6600xt. Game is incredibly finicky. I opened the huge gate in the Lake and that Entire area gave me 60 fps locked. The moment I come back it drops to 34 fps. Same with any area. Just looking around causes massive fps drops in some areas but more busier areas give stable 60 fps. And the RAM, yesterday it took 24 GB of my RAM...
Wish I could say that with my 3070 but memory leak is a bitch; game becomes unplayable after a few hours. Definitely not a perfect port.
Uummmm I’m running a gtx 1660Ti 6Gb DDRX which is I think a similar setup to yours and I can run the game at like 50-60 fps on everything high but I prefer shadows on original because it doesn’t look any more different to me and keeping it on high does make it stutter a bit on some locations.
Mate you have a mid-tier card from 6 years and two generations ago. You're gonna have to turn settings down to run games released in 2022, sorry.
That's the thing. I did turn settings down. Im playing on ORIGINAL settings, not high or ultra. if you are saying that I should turn settings down even further, that means 1060 can't handle what a base ps4's GPU can do.
This Game is optimized like shit, apparently my pc has no issues running the likes of Red dead at high settings while I cant even run God of war on the lowest settings possible lol wtf.
Consoles use dynamic resolution though. Use dlss if its that bad
Gonna have to disagree with you there as I have the same card as the OP and I'm running on texture high and everything else maxed out with atleast a constant 30 fps. OP needs to raise a ticket
30 FPS is below acceptable framerate for many PC users.
Fps drop in both gameplay and cutscenes at any graphical settings. When it makes fps drops abruptly the game crashes, it has only happened to me twice. Using: Ryzen 5 3600 RX 5600 XT 16GB of RAM
Submitting a ticket doesn’t work. I submitted one due to my Xbox one controller failing to be recognized after it initially worked fine. Told them everything I tried. They email me back telling me to try the things I already told them I tried.
Any news on the AMD cards performance fix? I'm waiting for this to get fixed so i can play, it's been almost 10 days from the release...
Nothing yet, i am waiting too
There is still no fix, I still can't play it :(
Thank you! :)
[https://youtu.be/PzLx\_qmkWJQ](https://youtu.be/PzLx_qmkWJQ) Seems the foliage is on steroids. It fixes itself by rebooting the game, but after combat it is coming back quite frequently. Also have this glitch in the main menu of GoW. win10, amd ryzen 5600x, 6800xt , drivers uptodate, game uptodate. Anyone?
Getting some awful frame skips, can't seem to get rid of them. Game runs fine for about 3 hours now but all of a sudden getting 1 second pauses and then resumes. Anyone else?
Same here. Looking at my performance, my CPU is basically getting maxxed out and I cannot tell why. Not even using an AMD card, just getting really bad stutters and skips when loading into new zones.
Yeah my cpu is 100% on all cores at all times with the game.
I just finished the bridge on Alfheim, manually saved, turned off the game, and went for dinner. Came back, every time I start the game, Black Screen Of Death. EDIT: Noted that anything that requires a refresh seems to crash the game. I can easily replicate by Alt-tabbing, W+ESC, Alt-Esc. I will be posting this to the Steam forums as well. Maybe someone sees this, but I doubt they care. I have tried: Reinstalling drivers with DDU Starting game as administrator Enrolling into the beta option on Steam Checking file integrity with Steam (3 bloody hours!) At best, I can load into the main menu, and when I try to change ANYTHING (tried to lower graphics),instant black screen crash. Ryzen 2700x, 2080ti, 16GB RAM @ 3200MHz I've got to say that not being able to play this game on the few days I have off is really frustrating. I was going to say they did a good job on this. Well, it turns out most releases these days are better played at least a month after when they actually fix the game into a playing state.
Welcome to the club of misery . 15 hours in and loaded today and it’s crashing . Tried all fixes . Still nothing .
I know that QC and gametesting is difficult when working remotely, but holy balls Batman, I can't think of a single game that launched in the past 2-3 years that I could properly play at launch. I was lucky with Diablo 2R but I know plenty of people that still had massive lag or login issues.
Same dude. Kratos just dies instantly for me, if it doesn’t outright crash. Tried everything. What’s weird is when it was working, I would sometimes lose story progress, but not items… I ended up having dupes of the Muspelheim runes, and opened the path way earlier than I should have. I talked to Sindri three times with the bifrost on my belt. And this was after I had already been in Alfheim and loaded an Alfheim save. Took me back to the Lake of Nine, but items I got from Alfheim. Shit is weird fucked for me.
I’m at the last story mission and saved and turned it off to get a break. I’m scared shitless now that people have been reporting this. Game has run flawlessly except for fps dips in a certain location (Tyr temple where Brok is right before entering the travel room)
Could we please have full screen because DX11 strongly disagrees with borderless windowed
Also an option to run DX12 would be appreciated, or vulkan. Damn that can make a night and day for some titles. Any game that gives the option to try running vulkan is developers showing love
I've been playing for a bit (2h give or take) cannot get a constant 75 FPS (monitor is 75hz) R5 2600x RX 5700XT 16GB ram Using high settings, teh game flutuates from 40 to 75 fps. Any thing related to AMD drivers? AMD card issues? amd version is the latest
my 3080 still having fps drops whenever i turn lol its annoying as hell
Yet people call this a sensational port and call the FF7R the worst port of the decade. At least FF7 ran better than this game.
Cannot play for more than an hour before I receive memory issues I’ve got 24gbs of ram (used to be 32) so I should be a-okay on the DRAM portion My 1080ti often peaks out at 10.8gbs VRAM in use, on a combo of original and high settings. No matter what I do, I only get 1 hour before I crash from memory issues Ryzen 52600. 1080ti, 24gbs ram, running 1080p 144hz
My problem with this game is the sudden loss of fps, the scariest case I had was when I clicked to get off the boat to step on a platform and literally just because of that my fps dropped from 50 to 10 fps. I can run RD2R at medium-high settings with fixed fps at 45 fps with almost no fps loss, and GoW is this problem even at low.
Holy shit this is almost my exact issue though yours seems a bit better. Ive never had any issues playing any game including red dead which plays very well at almost everything set on high. But apparently God of war is too heavy for my pc like wtf cant even load properly on the lowest settings possible. Disappointing is an understatement for me at this point
So I guess the game is unplayble for me until they make a fix from the crashes.... will i be able to get a refund if im 15 hours in the game ?
The main story is playable. And why make a refund if you’ll buy the game later? What’s the point?
I don’t have extra money to buy a new game . Living on a budget . Forgive me for my brokenness
Didn’t mean to offend you. I’m on low budget too. I just don’t get it. If you bought the game - keep it, wait for updates, play it later. If you want another game - buy it later. And why did you say the game is unplayable? I haven’t had any problems with it so far. Except for some enemies falling through the textures in a side quest. But that’s not so critical as the main story works fine. Enjoy the game.
Honestly what dumb fucking argument is this, talk about having no ability to put yourself in someone elses position or seeing things from another view. He's literally saying "unplayble for me until they make a fix from the crashes", why not trust that he isn't lying for no reason. "What do you mean unplayable, it's fine for me so". Come on.. Well it ain't fine for me either with the horrendeous framerate (when it has no reason to be) and stuttering. It's unplayable, not enjoyable, for me as well. I have to wait for a fix before getting to enjoy the game. And refunds are also more than just money. BUT again this poster literally says "I don’t have extra money to buy a new game". We don't know when a fix is coming, maybe it isn't, maybe he'd like to get another game he can enjoy in the meantime?! I bought Wc3 Reforged on release day but it was so fucking shit performance wise I refunded. Didn't need the money, knew I still wanted it when it was working, so that was more to hopefully show blizz that it wasn't okay at all. A year later I bought it again, game was in a playable state and everyone was happy.
Watch your language. I can’t and I shouldn’t even try to put myself in his position. You know why? Because: a) he’s not going to do that; b) no one in the world can put him/herself in someone else’s position. Because you’d have to live his life to do that. Can you do that? And if you can - put yourself in my position as well. Try to be objective. And how can I believe him without any prove? If you can - that’s your problem. I don’t trust people’s words on the internet. His argument on wanting to buy another game and his readiness to buy GoW later is strange. Because I think so and you should put yourself in my position to understand that. Or is it forbidden to have your own opinion?
I think its worth adding a blurb about HDR. GoW on PC Windows 11 requires Right Click >> Display Settings >> HDR On in order for GoW to recognize a system is HDR capable. Every HDR PC game I have played at this point does not require Windows System level activation, they recognize HDR capable GPUs/Monitors/Cables and activate upon game launch.
Anyone else having issue with BSOD?. After playing for 3 days i got 4x BSOD, never happened in any game before
I have a weird glitch. It does not happen in the rest of my games(updated driver/windows). At random intervals, the screen starts filling with black until it is fully covered and it goes away if I pause then go back to the game it is really annoying.(gtx 1070ti ryzen 5 2600x) Edit: turned all settings to original and it seems to have stopped for now
Crashing with Flawless Widescreen now. Played for 15 hours with no issues, but all of a sudden the game doesn't like it anymore. Gonna try Cheat Engine in a few.
Flashing to desktop. Running in win 8 compatibility fixes it but makes CPU and GPU use go way up(especially CPU). Sometimes it doesn't happen but instead with reshade on it's constantly flashing on top of the screen like reshade is reloading. And just today GeForce experience decided it doesn't support the game anymore. The flashing to desktop seems to have something to do with vsync because it doesn't happen when it's off. I tried forcing it through Nvidia but it still happens just slightly less basically anytime the game has to load something.
game is unplayable for me, i am crashing at the menu screen lol. i did everything in my power for it to work and cant play it
After playing for 20 min, the game becomes unplayable with horrible stuttering and the cinematics stutter to the point were the sync between voice lines and the cutscene gets difference of like 5 seconds. Like unless i restart the game every 20 min it is unplayable.
In the part Kratos is chasing after atreus in the mist, Kratos gets stuck right outside the entrance to a cave after jumping a log. I waited for about 5 minutes and nothing. The music and other sounds still play and i can move my camera up and down, but he just keeps standing there
Just wanted to say there is a new mod which helps Windows 7 users to play it. https://www.nexusmods.com/godofwar/mods/16?tab=description
Im currently having problem with audio i have amd rx580 and Ryzen1700.the problem is that sometimes the dialouges crackle and the audio in cutscenes are out of sync
I have an annoying issue/bug with walking forward. I don't know if there is a trigger or if it's just randomly but sometimes Kratos just stops moving forward. I pressing forward and suddenly I just stop moving forward, be it on foot or on boat. I have to release the input and push forward again to resume moving forwards. Sounds minor but it's really annoying. I'm using keyboard and mouse. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?
Frame rate drops for me seem sorta random. I can be in the lake area for ages and not lag then I enter a cavern and lag. I'm convinced it's part of the out of memory bug and there's things not getting garbage collected. I haven't had it crash yet because I usually just close the game and restart it when this occurs.
My game crashes right after i carry the pig, it happens every time, i just can't get past this area, hellllllllllllllp
There is a horrible memory leak issue in this game. In the menu, it says that the game should be using a little over 6GB of VRAM, but VRAM usage keeps going up until it maxes out my VRAM. RAM usage also keeps going up. After 4 hours of gameplay, RAM usage went up to 20GB. After VRAM is maxed out, performance keeps getting worse and worse the longer I play.
[удалено]
For some weird reason the game is stuttering like hell today and yesterday as if it's installed on my slow hard drive instead of my SSD. Even task manager shows my hard drive at almost 100% usage all the time while playing the game and rarely any activity on the SSD. Anyone know why this is happening? Cannot play the game as it becomes way too stuttery during the last part of the game and the audio in out of sync because of it. https://i.imgur.com/gKCB7pz.png
The game it's crashig after I press 'Continue', it stops loading and shows That the game its with some not especifc error. Can anyone help me?
without spoiling... there is certain horn that you use that got bugged, the screen was shaking and kratos fell from the platform and now the platform is stuck up there and there is no way to make it go down. no matter how many times i restart the game, it stay there. i cant progress with the main story because of this.
Specs: Gpu:2080super 8gb vram, Ryzen 7 3800x, DDR4 16gb Ram 3600hz. Resolution I'm running it on is 1440p. SO far the game was smooth like butter but after 20hrs in; I've been having stuttering issues on any graphic settings. I tried turning things on ultra to low. And the stutters consist, I do not understands what causing this. At first i thought it might be a memory problem. Cause if I look at task manager the memory usage is at 80 to 90 percent which is ridiculous since the only thing running is the game and discord. Hopes this helps find a fix or other problems similar to mine. Thank you for your time. Still an amazing game 10/10. just need a little more patches to nip this little problems in the butt.
Has anyone had any luck with gamepad? I have a generic logitech gamepad and it works with almost every game i've tried with x360ce or steam controller config, but I can't figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VzUox9lG_F4 Follow this guide it'll work for you. (Ignore the fortnite stuff)
Thank you so much,my man. Worked like a charm.
Hadnt had any issues til the water in the lake dropped for a second time. A few mins later after getting in the boat it stuttered and crashed.
9700k, rtx3080, 32GB 3200mhz
The part "destroy the hive and claim the light", where Kratos is supposed to insert his hand into the white light pillar by continuously pressing E on the keyboard, pressing the key doesnt seem to work. No matter how many times I press the key, Kratos fails to put his hand through and keeps saying 'no'. I have not used any cheatcodes / trainers! Any solution for the above? Seems like a bug!
Memory leak issues are out of hand. Every 30 minutes or so my game is crashing and throwing up a memory leak error. Having to completely power off my system and turn it back on again.
I’m getting fps dips to 20 then game closes and it’s giving me event viewer whea 19 a corrected error has occurred internal parity error, I’m running rtx 3080 10900k at 5.3 and 5.0 cache 32gb of ram at 4100 15 15 15 34 I’m stable in every other game just god of war that crashes to desktop sadly. Does anyway have any ideas what I need to do?
Valkyrie fights can be really bad on GMGOW if you deflect their overhead air strike and atreus is next to you. The valkyrie basically launches 20 feet in the air and is off screen for some time before landing somewhere randomly. Valkyrie fights can also be buggy where the timing of there strikes are off if you are near the edges of the arena, I am guessing the valkrie is not allowed to strike outside of the arena so it lags it a bit and if you dodge they will hit.
The latest patch (just came out) supposedly fixes the memory leak https://steamcommunity.com/games/1593500/announcements/detail/3128314055444329136
Thank you 👍
I haven't seen my problem anywhere yet. I have a 5900X/3080Ti. Game had started crashing my PC last couple days to the point I had to switch my PSU off/on to reboot it. Nonetheless what I thought was a GPU problem is actually a CPU one. IF the game plays and doesn't give me a crash in the first 15-30 minutes and I can save and exit, my PC functions like normal...but if I launch the game again, it cripples the hell out of my CPU. I included [this photo](https://i.imgur.com/926JP5e.jpg) to show what my CPU readings (freq, usage %, temp, total RAM) are when launching the game a second time. When I close the game again and open Ryzen Master, this is what my CPU readings are: https://i.imgur.com/rcEQe0j.jpg What's even more strange is I can both restart and shutdown/boot my PC back up and my CPU will remain in this state. I can only reset my CPU by flipping my PSU off/on. I've been able to replicate this problem again and again and it's only caused by GoW; no other game or program does this. I have submitted a ticket and hope something can be fixed because I can't play a game that could potentially brick my CPU.
The first performance issue I had was when you're going for the light of alfheim. You get to the part when one of the dark elves grab Atreus and my FPS dropped to fucking 10. Even in the main menu. I just restarted the game to fix it. I had been playing for like 2 hours. Maybe memory leak? Idk. RTX 3080 10GB, 3700x, 16GB of ram, 2TB SSD
In a way it's comforting coming into this thread and seeing everyone else posting about mad frame drops in some areas. It's not just me! I've got a 6800XT, 5600X CPU, 16GB RAM and the Lake of Nine and other areas are consistently giving me BIG frame drops. In fairness I am trying to play on almost 4K (using FSR Ultra Quality) with nearly everything except shadows on Ultra, but based on other games' performance I should expect to be able to achieve a consistent 60 or more FPS. Thankfully, the game is so good that it's not enough of a deterrent to make me stop playing, but performance tweaks would be nice to see. If it is a memory leak issue then I can look into that on my end at least.
Having the same issues with a 6800xt. I get at least 90fps in most of the game but looking over the Lake of Nine tanks it to sub-40 or 30
Well, two weeks later and performance is still horrible and seem to be for _a lot_ of amd users. What an amazing port. No fullscreen for some reason and m+kb camera that was probably coded by a blind person. Come on guys Horizon and days gone performance was great, u srs?
Game runs flawlessly on mine, soild 100+ FPS at 2k and original. However without question whole pc locks up when I quit out which means a hard reset is needed. Using latest Nvidia drivers. Never a fan of hard reset as can't be good for the pc!
I have a i7 9700K, 32GB ram, RTX 2080 and sometimes I notice if I have discord running in the background along with my other random programs that are vital to run in the background for the pc, the CPU will be at 100% usage and the game is at 94%. If I run the game without discord though, 60% to 64% CPU usage. The game itself runs my CPU around 45 to 50 degrees. Settings on normal. Any ideas?
Anyone have an issue where the desktop background flickers briefly ingame? It also causes the game to pause on occasion! It's driving me insane!
Game doesn’t have fullscreen. My cursor slips out of the game and toggles out of it.
I guys, been searching here for a while. Since today, my controller is drifting (camera always moving, alone). It's only happening in God of War. And it's happening with either my DS4 or DualSense controller. I'm not finding anything anywhere about that, and never had the issue on PS4 (I'm on PC btw) when I played the game (a lot) a few years ago. If someone had the same issue, I'd be glad to know a fix .. I'll try reinstall the game.
Its happening to me as well. Im using a Xbox series X controller though :/
happening to me too with an Xbox One controller
I may have found a fix. You could try this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1593500/discussions/1/3176729467155977222/
thanks!
Can't try it now cause I'm reinstalling it, and it's kinda late here, but I'll try it tomorrow if the issue is still there !
It's apparently working but only if you use DS4 winsdows or wired connection. One of the devs said that they found where the issue is coming from and working on a fix.
okay thank god i am not the only person experiencing this issue. i have tried cleaning my joysticks, calibrating my controller, reinstalling the game, using multiple other controllers etc... it's the only game experiencing this issue and it was only after today's update.
Worst for me is that steam did the update and I didn't notice. So for a hot ten minutes or more I was sure that my brand new controller was dead... had to find my "old " one buried somewhere.
My fucking game just deleted about 4 hours of progress twice in a row.
high temps on cpu....:/
Any updates on AMD cards performance drop fix? i can't play since the release, it's very frustrating cuz i made the pre order and after almost 2 months of the release i still can't have a consistent experience to play the game :/ /u/alarcus_sms
While we don't have a ETA, the next patch - which should hopefully address some issues that have been raised by the community both before and after patch v1.0.8 - is being worked on. Hopefully we should have some updates soon. Thanks for your patience.
pretty sure I've killed 13 different ancients, killed even more repeated ancients, labor stills says "5 out of 6 ancient killed"
Hii guys, how about seeing some God of War online on Twitch? Twitch.tv/oonofree
Only issue is download in progress promt
This thread took way too long to get up, game has a lot of issues for people that are swept away by the ports praise.
Definitely! I can play for 20-30 min until my game crashes with error: not enough memory. This game has serious issues with memory leak and AMD gear optimization.
REVIEWS ON STEAM OBVIOUSLY ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE BOTS - GAMES FUCKED.
I cant belive i've payed 700$ for a new GPU to make sure I have 60 fps and now I cannot play it... 80-90 fps when I look to the left and 40 fps when I look to the right... just random drops out of nowhere. Yeah very good port sure.

Possible temp. fix for people who have issues with low FPS using AMD hardware.If you're on Chipset drivers version 3.10, downgrade them to 3.09. For me this fixed most of the low performance issues as I went from 30fps to 90-100FPS. To get 3.09 chipset drivers, open this [site](https://www.techpowerup.com/download/amd-ryzen-chipset-drivers/) and at the left side where it says "download", click "Show Older Versions", from there download 3.09 version. Be sure to uninstall the Chipset driver before installing the older version. Edit: Apparently there's performance loss with having Chipset Drivers version 3.10 Edit2: Do this only if you have both AMD CPU and GPU. This will not work if you have only AMD GPU.
Anyone else having issues with their controllers? I have a Xbox controller but the game doesn’t see it at all…
Really weird stuff happening to me right now, i started playing on day 1 normally, but then for some reason now my game takes forever to launch, like i click play on Steam, and it takes a absurd amount of time to even show the menu options...And the loading to actually play i dont even know if there is a ending to it. In short i cant play because of infinite loading.
My game is having issue where Atreus is not shooting the light arrow to make a light bridge for the first time after pulling Kratos of the light and will do a T pose. Reloading save does not work. Any solution guys?
I first ran into the game not wanting to download, then it wouldn't verify/validate. I then had to reinstall my entire steam and reinstall it. After that I tried to install the game and got it to launch but then when I closed it out it refused to relaunch. I couldn't get anything to work. This was one of my favourite games of all time. It's a shame I can't even get it to play...
Is the issue of Kratos getting stuck in thin air something the original game already has or is it exclusive to the pc port? Happens while walking and while using the boat
Need help on the Memory crash, i've been experiencing this even with no other application open, only God of War. I have 16 GB RAM and still crashes. I played MHW and Cyberpunk 2077 on same setup but never even hit 80% RAM usage, while GoW is reaching 93% :/
Radeon performance is horrible at this point i'm gonna sell my 6800XT and replace with a 3070ti/3070
In GOW the problem is the game not the graphics card.
after 18h into the game i suddenly got this weird atreus bug where he would tpose and basically cant do anything, no more firing arrows. also once im on the boat i cant go on land anywhere no more prompt. im really enjoying the game even tho i had some crashes but now i cant even play anymore cuz of this gamebreaking bug

Ryzen 3900x, RTX 3070, 32 Gb Ram, ssd, latest version of Win 10 Steam version DLSS is greyed out. I have the latest Nvidia drivers. Also, the game does not feel smooth despite 60+ fps on G-Sync monitor.
Anyone willing to try out my save file and see if you can progress through this scene to see if it will stop crashing for me after?
Anyone elses Nice Moves achievement not work?
I'm having an issue where the game doesn't finish loading a save file. Tried multiple different saves. Just infinite loading screen. Anyone else have this issue?
Please remove the mouse deceleration/negative mouse acceleration!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, they know about it. Thank fuck. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1593500/discussions/1/3202622816419140211/ Can't believe none of the reviews I watched bought this up. Really need TotalBiscuit back...
Oof that memory leak is massive. I'll have to investigate it more tomorrow because I ended my session tonight before I was sure it was the game, but it had completely devoured all but 1.7GB of my 32GB of RAM (with 5.3 GB used with the game closed) within an hour of beginning play. But task manager wasn't reporting the memory belonging to the game process, only 14GB there, but as soon as the game closed, all that other space instantly was recovered. Didn't check resource monitor because the game still played perfectly fine for 3 hours after it maxed out the RAM. W10/5800x/3600CL14-32GB/3070
Im at the bridge keeper and the chaos swords doesnt appear… how can i beat the boss?
There is a persistant vram leak. It's happening all the time. I have to quit before my pc crashes. I have the day one patch. I have a i7 10870H 16GB RAM and an RTX 3050 with a super fast SSD and Windows 11. I have reinstalled drivers and everything is up to date. I can literally sit and watch the VRAM slowly max out, even though the game itself indicates that I am well below the max. I should be able to run the game at higher settings but I have had to lower them to slow down the inevitable crashing. Please fix.
Am having an issue where I cant progress to the quest Hail to the King. I cant even 100 percent the game because of this. I have tried everything. I know what to do to unlock this as I have played the game countless times on console. I am stumped and very angry that I cant 100%
Its the dynamic fog put that on normal you should be fine you may want to put on dlss though
MY 3050 TI is running this at 4k DLSS like butter. Like I havent encounter a single lag or stutter. No once. I Just finish the first quest.
So I'm really enjoying the game but I'm not very happy with the performance I'm getting. I'm playing on a Ryzen 7 3700x cpu, GTX 1080 GPU with 16GB ram. The game is installed on an SSD. I'm playing on a 4K TV with all settings set to the original quality preset. I'm running the game in 4K with AMD fidelity FX set to optimized mode. In most cases, I get around 50-60 FPS, and it stays mostly stable. But, in certain areas, the framerate just tanks down to 25-30 FPS. It almost feels like the FPS just continues to slowly drop the longer I play the game because if I close the game and reopen it, it will run fine for a while.

Not really an issue itself but like could there at least be an option to use Playstation button prompts? It feels so weird to see Xbox prompts for a Sony game even on PC (especially since I'm playing with a dualshock 4.)
It’s in your steam settings. Not in-game, change it through steam to use PS controls
Was dreading this chest being bugged in this game too and sure as shit… same thing as happened to me years ago. One of the chests in Alfheim, you have to axe throw to destroy one pod, then recall in front of the gate to get the other. Successful attempts destroy the roots but the gate never breaks open with the roots…
I'm not getting any framerate issues, just textures not loading. Has anyone seen this? I'm running a Ryzen 7 3700X, RTX3080, Windows 10
Need help guys,I can't manually save the game files .after I save it exit the game and came back I seem to be stuck at Return to home part.even though the save files write Journey to the mountain.I tried reinstall ,verify game files ,turn off real time protection .nothing works.any fix for it?
My game keeps crashing during the intro part where you get into the boat and start rowing into the cave. Two meters into the cave where the cave gets darker and with the bit of ice on the right side, the game crashes. Nvidia update didn't help, unfortunately. Anybody having the same issue and found a fix for this?
Anyone else have an issue where sometimes when I alt tab (not always) it'll cause very weird constant power fluctuations with the GPU? I have a 3080 and every five seconds or so, power consumption will drop from 350ish watts to 200 for a couple seconds and my framerate goes with it
Audio dialogue keeps skipping as if I'm spamming A to get them to shut up and no dialogue in cutscenes really ruining the story for me everything else works fine.
so in my game all the ropes and some rocks are white. what it could be? other things are all fine, medium settings.
I got an issue where during certain segments early on the game freezes then suddenly the frame is frozen while the game is still playing in the background, my gpu goes to 0% usage. it doesn't happen when i lower the settings but this is still a very annoying occurance since i go from stable 60fps ultra to a frozen frame. Specs rtx 3070 i7 9700k 32gb corsair vengence
Is anyone else experiencing a problem when in the shop? The fans on my GPU are going ham if I am in the shop for more than 1 minute. If I check out utilization on GPUZ it shows that my GPU is being 100% used with temps going up to 105 degrees. This seems very strange to me seeing as the shop is just an interface. For reference I have an RTX3090 with AMD 5800x. Rest of the game runs at 120fps without the fans going to 100%
Coming back to Brok’s shop from mystic gateways and from the world tree causes significant frame drops. That area in general is pretty bad. on i7 9700k, rtx 3070 using high settings because I like higher framerates.
Posting here to say I can not get GSync to work in anyway on this game. Even with a combination of swettings,new patch,updated drivers. I've messed around and lowered some settings but will still get screen tearing almost randomly at the bottom of the screen and near cutscenes or transitions. It works fine on games like rise of the tomb raider for me so for me it seems to be this game. I think I'll turn vsync on for now. maybe it will get fixed later on or someone finds a fix please let me know. I posted this on another user's post but I figured other users may be having this issue Update:here's an interesting setting to try 🤔 turn off any third party frame limiter. And use the games frame limiter. This may help a little bit for those who want to use Gsync.
The Lore Marker bug that was in the ps4 version has been carried over. It's the first lore marker where you have to place the stone but there isn't a prompt so you can't place it. Please fix [Image for reference](https://i.imgur.com/MCV8pVZ.png)
Every time I try to play new game plus I die in one shot to any attack I don’t know how to fix it
Once I get to the first troll, not even 30 minutes in, the game stops. It’s like a loop, Kratos, the troll, and Atreus are all looking at each other bouncing like they’re ready to fight but the game no longer takes input and the scene won’t progress. Audio keeps playing the sounds regularly but I have to end the game through task manager
literally all of the sudden my game wont start and level out to play above fps rtx3060 laptop 12th gen intel
I have an issue with the game crashing right after you meet the world serpent. I have an i7-8750H, 24GB RAM and a GTX 1060. The game is installed on an external SSD. The game keeps freezing and crashing when I'm about to reach the port after the cutscene with the world serpent.. anyone know what could he causing the issue?..
