Santa Monica Studio has released a new patch for the PC port of God of War that not only introduces a handful of fixes, but a welcome feature, to the definitive version of the action-adventure game.
Among them is the addition of a sharpening slider for God of War’s implementation of DLSS, allowing players to adjust the clarity of the image produced by NVIDIA’s supersampling solution. The addition of the slider was prompted by players who experienced graphical issues stemming from DLSS’ automatic sharpening. While sharpening reportedly still can’t be turned off, even with the slider set to zero, Santa Monica Studio has promised that additional improvements are on the way.
As for the fixes, God of War players should no longer experience a number of issues that include graphics driver crashes and display setting bugs, as well as VRAM being incorrectly detected on Intet’s XE platform. Santa Monica Studio has also addressed an issue whereby controls would stop working if the inventory menu was opened during realm travel.
