Jetpack Interactive and Santa Monica have released another new update for the PC version of God of War. According to the release notes, Patch 1.0.5 adds a precision mouse mode, aiming to significantly improve the mouse look of the game.
Precision Mouse Mode works by ignoring the default mouse-to-camera conversion implementation. Additional sensitivity fine-tuning can be done by tweaking values in the settings.ini file in the game installation folder. Also, this mode should not be used in conjunction with Aim Assist.
Alongside this new mouse mode, Update 1.0.5 packs a number of fixes. For instance, TAA will no longer causes blurriness when the Render Scale is below 100%. Moreover, game audio should now mute when the application is in the background.
As always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.

bad perfomance, stuttering awful fov, mouse issies
such an amazing port.
There’s no bad performance in this game and the fov is the same as it was on console. What does fov have to do with being this and that port ? The negative mouse acceleration was an actual issue though. Shame it took them a month until everyone played the game to resolve that
“the fov is the same as it was on console”
which is unacceptable in a PC port because different monitor distances and sizes.
That doesnt mean its a “bad port”. Also, the game does a lot of tricks due to the nature of the game that break when you increase the fov. You can in fact increase it using flawless widescreen. You can see the kid how it teleports and kratos’s legs acting funny at times. The game design is tied with the low fov, so its not the same as in regular games, just increasing it
Lol, game is CPU bound to all hell.
” the fov is the same as it was on console. ”
which is bad.
You can complain abou fov in a fps but not in 3rd person action adventures. What do you need more fov for ?
ever played resident evil 6? awful default fov, third person doesnt mean that the fov is far away.
The fov in this game is a directors artistic choice and not something for you to mess with. You like it fine you don’t don’t play it. Nobody expects fov slider in a game like this except entitled idiots.
HAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
My god what an idiot.
“Nobody expects fov sliders in a pc game”
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
In a game like this is what ive said, you idiot. Why do you need to change what i ve said. Pathetic
i didnt change it, the fov is awful.
Lol what do you mean you didn’t change it, my original reply is still there dude for everyone to see, i said in a game like this you quoted me as saying “in a pc game”.
Lol you are so lame ahahahha hahaha
no fov in a pc game is awful
Oh yes, no bad performance in this game right… look at any middle card struggling to run this game at 60fps at the original PS4 settings that sure screams optimization. Last time i checked base PS4 had 7870 lvls of performance. That is a 10 years old card now. Any 1XXX series card( Except maybe the 1050ti) should be able to run anything that system runs a lot faster.
This is the type of comment that reminds me why the industry is at where it is today. Basically lack of awareness and no standards…
You have no idea how consoles works else you would know not to base performance on how it’s graphics card compares to pc cards. There’s more to performance than that.
Sure i don’t, it’s all because that sweet “console optimization magic” right ? Dude, you´re missing the point. Sure the console optimization is there that is why if you try to run GOW on an 7870 it will be a dreadfull experience. That being said any of the 16XX cards basically have more than twice the RAW POWER of the base PS4, so optimization apart it comes a point where unless the port is dogshit we shouldn’t be having any issues, even if we´re just brute forcing our way trough the performance issues.
I’m not asking for it to run at 1440p at 144fps on ultra on a 16XX card, but the fact that they are not enough to run the game at 1080p at 60fps on the original PS4 settings is LAUGHABLE anyone whit a decent amount of hardware knowlodge will come to the same conclusion.
Well 16xx cards were cheap sh*t from the start, don’t be mad you have outdated hardware. It’s 2022, upgrade.
The ps4 is from 2014 how stupid can you be bruh… i think is very clear wich one of us really didn’t know how consoles/hardware works.
That’s irrelevant, you card is sh*t, deal with it. That 2014 hardware works better than your crap like it or not. Like I’ve said, it’s about the package not just the graphics chip.
Better than my hardware ? First of all never said my hardware, second no it dosen’t I can run the game mostly 60fps just fine. Something the base PS4 can’t even dream. i’m just not satysfied with the performance something console fanatics such as your self have not.
All you said is incorrect info based on what you think is correct when is not, so all you did is make a fool of yourself.
Base ps4. There’s ps4 pro, nobody expected 1080p from the 4. So does the game run good or not, which is it ? First you were complaining that you cannot run it well, now you say something diffrent. Make up your mind.
I just like seeing fanboys with no arguments with their dumb takes.
Source?
Most benchmarks I’ve seen don’t show that issue beyond minor occurrences.
Holy sh*t … They are very stubborn and try very hard not to add the fullscreen option
Still no fullscreen, and support form AMD still poort.
Also this “Precision mouse mode” creates new animation bug

Instead creating new “mouse mode” just tweak the mouse and get rid off accelration
It doesn’t fix how boring and linear this game is.
Maybe I am spoiled seeing large open MMO worlds on PC, but the fact this game treats you like a 2-year-old on a leash who can only walk along a predetermined path pissed me off.
Games used to get knocked in reviews for having a completely linear world and storyline, but apparently console games get a pass on this.
These linear “cinematic experiences” that are all over Sony exclusives are one-dimensional junk.
At least NIntendo still has games, Sony keeps on making linear B movies disguised as games.
Thank God Steam has a straightforward refund policy.
its called “cinematic experience”
yeah i hate modern videogames.
But I Loooove linear cinematic experiences. I will choose a single player linear game over an open-world game anytime! I really hate repetitive open world games which you have to do one task thousands times.
And considering the sales numbers of GOW on both platforms, I think we know what others think.
Your logic: “Man, I hate Broccoli so much.” *goes to the grocery store and buys Broccoli*
Indeed. In common with various other PlayStation games it’s yet another bland third-person arcade adventure. They used to be fun way back in 2009 (Uncharted 2) until 2013 (The Last of Us) while the novelty lasted. Since then it’s largely been rinse and repeat but with added soy-infused wokery. Easily forgettable.
The amount of news items this site manages to post daily is pathetic.
You don’t like hearing about daily patches and mods? Crazy times.
He’s triggered due to people not loving Soyny’s game as much as he does.
I had this classmate in college, he was very autistic (I don’t mean it as an insult or in a demeaning way). He’d search up the latest console-related news and articles and fight in the comments. The poor guy was so lonely, one day I got a glance at his Youtube recommendation tab, and it was entirely made of reaction videos of different people to video game endings and announcements.
You can really hurt their feeling by not liking their favorite games because It’s all they have in their lives, loneliness can drive people crazy.
Cool, I didn’t know you and Latex beats nudity were friends. I guess the most surprising part is that he actually went to college.
That doesn’t sound like him at all, you on the other hand are obsessed with the guy, it’s the only thing you talk about.
And yet you get your feelings hurt when people are mean to tr@nnies, there is always someone in worse shape…
I’m really sorry for what your dad did to you as a child but replying to my posts to get my attention isn’t going to help.
You should say this to your tr@nny friends instead of pretending to go along with their delusions.
Don’t know if you are being ironic, but he does have a point, this site is slow on content.
Needs to get in contact with Billy from the OAG. If he in fact still walks among us.
There aren’t any major PC news to share really at the moment. We could spam with rumors and sales figures but then again, we could also spam with more UE5 mods (or more nude mods 😛 ). Fact is that this is a slow-news-period.
While you might have a point today, i can show you hundreds of days full of news that i get on other sites while this one has 5 items a day. How do you justify that?
Do please show me. If it is “That person said this”, “That person said that”, “Jade’s new game is also coming to PC” (which hasn’t been even officially announced yet, lol), “Mikami wants a better RE4 Remake” (I also want a Subaru Impreza but no one is making an article about it 🙁 ), “Kamiya wants to resume Scalebound development”… well these aren’t really news. They are just stories that most post due to the lack of actual PC news. If you find them interesting, that’s cool. That’s also one of the reasons why people should visit various sites. However, I prefer a UE5 remake video (that at least shows you something) to the aforementioned type of stories (that are meaningless, at least IMO).
So dlss sharpening finally fixed. May be finally time to dive back in for a replay. Played it on PSNow a couple years back. Should be a treat now in 4KHDR.
Games like this are made to be played with controller. There’s nothing to aim at with a mouse. Go play fps games with your mouse. Jesus, you tards do not deserve ps games ported to pc.
Nothing to aim at expect all the ranged combat, puzzle solving and collectible aiming, yeah.
Check out his flurry of replies and downvotes to the critical comments of others. He’s evidently feeling rather salty and emotional because other people don’t love the thing he loves as much as he does. Poor child!
I hope you dont play it. Fortnite awaits, go, go
And you need a mouse for that you poor thing ? Complaining about fov and mouse aiming in a 3rd person action adventure port from ps4 is imbecile.
Do I need it? No. Do I want it? Yes. Why the f*k would I want an inferior control method, you dumb f*k? And what does which console generation the game is from have to do with anything? And why are you using ‘imbecile’ as an adjective? It’s a noun, like in the sentence “my god, you’re such an imbecile.”
Lol, imbecile, just like stupid, is an adjective. You are an imbecile. You are stupid. It’s both a noun and an adjective, you big imbecile you. Here, let me educate you, little imbecile.
“adjective having a mental age of three to seven years”
I hope English is not your first language, imbecile.
You looked in the mirror and came up with that conclusion ?
the port is not bad at all, while it’s not as brilliant as reviews say, it is decent, i don’t see people complaining about Metro Exodus though, which is a PC game with no FOV slider, no motion blur toggle, no individual tweakable settings only presets, a lot of questionable frame drops, bad sound mixing and inconsistent graphics, it’s like everything is forgiven just because it’s not a console port
I tought multiplatform games where ports by default.
Not all of them, some of them are developed on PC then ported to consoles like FS2020 or Cyberpunk which are the most recent examples
Lmao, so the PC first multiplat manage to be even worse.
Yes it happens, limited hardware of consoles somehow forces the devs to further optimization, ironic
Having to deal with the INI file means you have no solid support for those features which is awful for a 2019 PC focused game, if we go this route i can also say that you can tweak FoV on GoW using Cheat Engine or Flawless Widescreen and this will not break anything at reasonable values compared to Metro where 90° can show unfinished models, the comparison isn’t really out of context as it’s a reminder that some console ports can be technically more solid than genuine PC games
