God of War PC Patch v1.0.4 is Live, Adds DLSS Sharpening Slider

Jetpack Interactive and Santa Monica Studio have released the newest patch for God of War (2018) on PC. Patch v1.0.4 adds a DLSS Sharpening slider along with additional logging of crash reports. The latter should help “identify root causes of intermittent crashes.”

Otherwise, this patch is mostly about bug fixes. Those who faced issues with Atreus becoming unresponsive in some cases will now seem him properly reset his state when restarting from a checkpoint or saved game. Issues that resulted in graphics driver crashes, incorrect VRAM detection on Intel’s XE,and loss of controller functionality upon opening the inventory when traveling between realms have also been fixed.
