God of War Ragnarök — Black Screen Launch Issue Hotfix

Black Screen Launch Issue Hotfix

Changed 1
  • Shader compilation process may now cause micro-stuttering during initial load as a trade-off to avoid driver crashes
Fixed 1
  • Fixed NVIDIA driver crash or soft lock that prevented the game from loading by changing how shader compilation works

An NVIDIA Driver Crash/Soft Lock that prevents the game from loading is under investigation. In the meantime, we've implemented a work around for the cause of the crash to change how shader compilation works. This change may cause some micro-stuttering during initial load, but will hopefully avoid the driver crash that prevents game from starting.

Please verify files after patching.
