God of War: Difference between revisions

|gameinfo          = In God of War, the dark world of Greek mythology comes to life right before your eyes. As you take the role of Kratos, a story unfolds with various plot twists and multiple endings that take you through traps, stunts and puzzles. With a deep combat system built around double chain blade weapons, the game places you in a variety of environments where you must fight challenging enemies, swing on ropes, scale mountain cliffs, swim through rivers and slide down zip lines.<br />

God of War is a single player game that features a third-person perspective view with a fixed camera. The player controls the character Kratos, a Spartan warrior in the service of the Olympian Gods in a mixture of combat, both normal and quick time with platforming and puzzle game elements. The player guides the protagonist through a long series of tests, trials and mazes to achieve goals. The game is loosely based on Greek mythology and is set in Ancient Greece.

|IssueName=Hardware renderer + upscaling artifacts

|IssueLevel=1

|Description=From a [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-God-of-War-SCUS-97399-U--29467?pid=618934#pid618934 this post]: When playing with Hardware renderer upscaled you will see vertical lines. There's also green along the nets of the ship at the beginning of the game. This is just a consequence of upscaling. They go away in Software renderer.

|Workaround=Turn "Half-Pixel Offset" hack to "Special (Texture)" to remove the vertical lines.

|IssueName=Kratos's shadow is missing

|Description=In Hardware mode Kratos's shadow is missing.

|Workaround=Fixed as of one of the 1.7 builds. For older versions Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, make sure the Renderer is set to "OpenGL or Vulkan (Hardware), then click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and use '''Round Sprite''' or use '''TC Offset''' to correct the effects. Or switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to one of the "(Software)" options.

|IssueName=Green Tint

|Description=There is a green bloomish tint overlayed.

|Workaround=1.6: Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and set Round Sprite to half. 1.7 and later: Go to Config > Graphics Settings, click "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and set Round Sprite to half.

|IssueName=Fog does not shown up right in Hardware mode

|Description=When playing on Hardware mode and using upscale settings, fog will not look right.

|Workaround=Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings. Enable HW Hacks and in advanced settings set trilinear filtering to trilinear then half pixel offset to special ([https://www.reddit.com/r/PCSX2/comments/i1ib5n/vertical_lines_in_god_of_war1_those_are_my/ credit]. However, this issue may still persist when using progressive scan. And yes did test with widescreen mode and has no line bug.

|Description=When using progressive scan, during FMV scenes, a black rectangle obscures part of the bottom of the image, usually in one of the corners.

|Workaround=That issue appears to be fixed as of v1.7.3113. For older builds Use interlaced (don't enable progressive scan in the game itself). For the PAL version on older PCSX2 builds (May apply to WxWidgets builds) Go to Graphics settings > Hacks > Turn on Memory Wrapping.

|IssueName=Missing audio in in-game cutscenes

|Description=Voice clips can be muted during in-game cutscenes such as the first one which is '''Foul beasts, I will send you back to the depths of Hades.''' It occurs when the EE runs at a relatively fast pace

|Workaround=Appears to be fixed as of v1.7.3113. For older versions (This applies to the QT builds) Go to Settings > Advanced System > Turn off '''Enable VU0 Recompiler (Micro Mode).'''
