God of War Ragnarök News

[h2]Updates[/h2]

• Prevent crash on game boot due to corrupt or missing files - game will now tell you that there are bad files and ask you to verify installation
  
• Volumetric fog in Realm Between Realms and during dream sequences will now appear properly on NVIDIA 10xx, 20xx, and 30xx cards
  
• DualSense controllers will now default to rumble backup when connected wirelessly as haptics are only available with wired connections
  
• Achievements will now retroactively unlock when loading save games
  
  Please note: If you reload your save and your missing Achievements do not pop, this is likely due to something causing the Steam API to fail via a temporary block such as a firewall, internet disabled, etc. Please double-check possible blockers if this issue persists after reloading.

[h2]UPDATES [/h2]

• Fixed issue causing some controllers to not have smooth camera or character movement when using sticks
  

[h2]Updates[/h2]
Spatial Audio

• Fixed crash related to spatial audio that could occur in multiple locations throughout the game with random intervals
  
• Fixed an issue with audio dropping out when spatial audio was enabled
  

Mouse Input/Camera

• Fixed mouse input focus issue where mouse would not control camera, but could still control menus
  
• Moved mouse controls to use raw input instead of GameInput driver
  

HDR

• Fixed an issue where HDR would not retain its setting on subsequent game starts
  

VRAM Utilization

• Texture Quality now uses fixed sized texture caches in VRAM instead of growing to use all of available VRAM
  
• VRAM usage shown in the settings menu now reflects the amount of VRAM allocated based on the current settings as a percentage of amount recommended by operating system. Usage over 100% will work but can lead to performance degradation.
  
• Modified VRAM texture cache algorithm to reduce VRAM usage that may have caused performance to degrade over time
  

Controller

• Fixed an issue with 3rd party controllers having stick drift
  

Animation

• Fixed animation issues in 32:9 super ultrawide screen in Open Your Heart cinematic
