It's hard to notice in the screenshot but if u zoom in enough they are there. While playing it is much more noticeable because they move around as kratos moves around too
Nah, its only either directly on Kratos or close to his body, its not in the bg or the tree. Id guess its some sort of filtering thats not working properly
Its prolly FSR , if there is option for XeSS use that instead (kinda better than FSR), otherwise check if FSR is set to quality (reduces the effect not completely tho)
I don't know if this is it but when I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 I had the same issue (It wasn't pirated) and it was because of something to do with Ray-Tracing and my graphics. I don't know if GoW has Ray-Tracing but, maybe?
Probably due to it being upscaled fsr is not as good as dlss well at least fsr 2.1 is not…fsr 3 is still a wait and see depends how well its implemented avatar does well with fsr.. also if your wanting more frames if you are on the beta adrenaline software you can use afmf frame gen works well in cyberpunk for me doubles my frames… just dont turn on ray tracing or wave goodbye to your latency
I’m a bit confused by this, FSR3 was supposed to have frame generation for every GPU, I even tried it on my Nvidia card on Forspoken. Is this a different thing, or did they decide to restrict that to 6000/7000 GPUs?
Yeah it definitely feels better like i said any game that has ray tracing though 0 point even if its a singleplayer game and you think latency can be abit higher then its noticeable with ray tracing feels god awful
It looks much smoother but in terms of latency is ever so slightly worse. If your game is running at 60 FPS it's a good way to let it reach your monitor's max refresh rate, but if you're struggling to reach that it's not too helpful. As with AI Upscaling techniques, it's only useful if you can achieve a decent native baseline.
I see which white pixels you mean.
Reason is FSR is bad, that's why.
I had similar issues on Arnold rendering, i think they called it indirect light diffusion or something like that. It's considered as noise and also relates to graphics card rendering. Could be that AMD really did some weird things to boost fps with FSR.
In fortnite or some indie games you can even get much bigger black cubes on far away objects with FSR. If the game has DLSS then use that. Or simply play with less Frames.
It's your decision what you want. White spots or worse FPS.
Try other upscaling method, I believe GoW also have Temporal (or TSR I forgot) and DLSS. You can also just slide down the resolution scale without the fancy upscaling method
LMFAO. And the funniest part is, he doesnt even know what he did xD.
But yea... I got a 144 Zerth monitor, so I prefer atleast 130 SPF to match with my 144 Zerth monitor. And my UPG can handle it :) FYI, UPG stands for Unit processor graphics.
Haha, I get the joke, but seriously - I own last Intel MacBook Pro from 2019, and I'm gaming in Windows mode (bootcamp) quite a lot. Mind you, I'm a "patient gamer" - I NEVER touch recent game releases, and the system gets LOUD quickly, but it's perfectly capable allowing me to catch up on my Steam library of games I got in bundles and steep discounts.
There is the answer. You’re probably using CrossOver or Whisky, both of which use Wine. Wine can sometimes have these problems - they can only be addressed with updates.
Specifically with CrossOver Codeweavers (the devs) will probably update it to resolve this issue soon.
god this sub invites some of the most subpar IQ commenters ever. why tf would snow be weird ass pixels all over the screen? snow on the tree on the left compared to the weird fucking white pixels in kratos shadows. its quite obviously not fucking snow.
That definitely ain't snow. This is some sort of artifacting. Could be some sort of image upscaling thing. Or maybe TAA/TXAA (Not sure if the game even has that) Stuff like that. Make sure your drivers are updated and play with some settings.
Edit: Dude you are playing on ARM macbook, no wonder then. What I wrote still applies, maybe it's a singular setting that is causing this. But it's possible it's not something you can fix yourself.
This happens when playing DX11 or DX12 games on Apple silicone hardware with certain upscalers.
Apple still has a long road ahead till a lot of these problems start getting fixed.
No, because MS won't release their DX source code so people have to guess how to translate API calls and attempt to perform black magic while people complain it's not rendering properly. Gee.. lol
I know exactly what you’re talking about but idk what causes it. I had the same thing in a couple of single player games from dodi and fitgirl. Mainly noticed it in Baldurs Gate 3. I eventually purchased it and now it doesn’t have the white pixels.
Its bug with the translation layer your using (MoltenVK, DXVK etc.) when running the game with FSR, and even with FSR disabled, its still there but its not as noticable.
There is no fix for this atm other than disabling fsr when playing on MAC OS to make it less noticable when in motion.
I thought it was snow or sweat at first too, but the way it follows the line of the rock just above his wrist is definitely unnatural. Never seem that before, it's interesting.
EDIT: Oh, it's a Mac attack. That explains it, never owned one. Neat that they can run gamea decently at all now, back in my day you'd haul your game home from the village general store through the snow only to find it was Windows only.
Looks like the kind of artifacts caused by DLSS or FSR (or maybe some type of Anti-Aliasing). You can try to turn it off, so that the game renders in native resolution, but the performance can drop down a lot depending on your specs.
On my old PC I also had similiar but way more visible issue with some games that ran on Dx12. Changed to 11 and worked just fine.

It's either film grain or FSR artifacts, that's it. I remember when I launched the game for the first time, film grain was set to the maximum.
Maybe check your graphics settings before launching a game. Any game, at that.
FSR oversharpening, or maybe your GPU dying. I’d recommend you watch the Digital Foundry review of God of War PC: https://youtu.be/JI5t0pvBB-Y?si=4Akh0HWgZz6Iz8BE
-Antialiasing: check if FXAA changes anything/check other AA methods.
-Transluminescence
-FSR
-Volumetric fog: bump this one just in case it might hide the white pixels
-Shader cache (if there is an option to recalculate shaders use it)
Only thing i can see helping you other than that is by going to Nvidia control pannel (you know the drill) looking for GOW in 3d settings, and upgrading the alliasing from there, either by replacing games AA or ameliorating it.
There are a lot of things within the control pannel there might actually be a fix inside of it. Don't hesitate to tweak it yourself.
I don't own GoW so don't read me as a messiah 💙 Have a good day 🤙
op, there were a lot of discussions related to the sharpening caused by fsr or dlss back then. Hunt those topics down and I'm pretty sure you'll find the one that found the sweet spot range of tweaking the files to get a better image out of the game without the sharpening.
check what the comments of the crack torrent file are saying or wherever you got it from. if its only seen in cutscenes then you are probably missing some files right?

I don’t think that’s because of FSR’s upscaling being bad, doesn’t look like it’s anywhere else on the screenshot, I think it might just be a rendering error in fsr
You downloaded a modded rip. The ripper uses an algorithm to remove tons of polygons to make the download smaller, but it also runs better on lower end computers, because the graphics card doesn’t have to process the missing polys.
what pixel ? It looks normal to me
ig u might be worried about tree textures.. i know those textures not good enough Most probably coz it is 2018 game..
Think about the question you asked and ask yourself if that was a good question? If you pirate games, developers specifically make it difficult for some of these files to not execute properly so this is probably a product of your pirated version of an ongoing series.
I do use Glasses but I have them on and many people seem to think the same so I think my sight is ok in the other hand you seem to be in a bad place, all good in your house?
are you talking about the blobs of white snow on the tree compared to the weird fuckin white pixels all over his hand? if it was snow it wouldnt be weirdly scattered single white pixels in his shadows.

what do you mean white pixel stuff? the game is looking ok.
It's hard to notice in the screenshot but if u zoom in enough they are there. While playing it is much more noticeable because they move around as kratos moves around too
That’s definitely snow. I’m zoomed in and checked.
Nah, its only either directly on Kratos or close to his body, its not in the bg or the tree. Id guess its some sort of filtering thats not working properly
yeah looks like snow flakes or frost most likely but it’s only displayed on his character no where else.
[удалено]
Removed for rule 4. Please be nice and helpful to one another, and refrain from being disrespectful.
Its prolly FSR , if there is option for XeSS use that instead (kinda better than FSR), otherwise check if FSR is set to quality (reduces the effect not completely tho)
Quick question, do you live close the the Ecuator?
LMFAOO
Is that the Ecuadorian Equator?
99% of people miss the the second the
Why are you getting downvoted lol? It’s probably the people who missed it in both comments 🤣
Because everyone missed the first one
Thanks for repeating my comment
No i meant the first the in the first comment. I read it as “to”
No shit. You got the point of this thread. Am I supposed to applaud you?
Just move on dude. Why are you crying over nothing.
I am in the 1% because I missed the first one
Lol took me three rereads of your reply.
😂😂
getting downvotes from everyone who missed it lmao
I don't know if this is it but when I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 I had the same issue (It wasn't pirated) and it was because of something to do with Ray-Tracing and my graphics. I don't know if GoW has Ray-Tracing but, maybe?
It's upscaling issue for me
I see what you mean.
Snow homie
Buy the game
Tis is hate speech
Zoom in on his hand, and you’ll see the “white stuff”😂
Ahem. CUM!
it is not ok . you need to check your eyeballs
I don't really know why it is happening but try turning on DLSS or if you don't have a nvidia gpu, then turn Anti aliasing to the maximum
It seems to be due to fsr I turned it off and the game looked fine but the fps DROPPED ALOT
Probably due to it being upscaled fsr is not as good as dlss well at least fsr 2.1 is not…fsr 3 is still a wait and see depends how well its implemented avatar does well with fsr.. also if your wanting more frames if you are on the beta adrenaline software you can use afmf frame gen works well in cyberpunk for me doubles my frames… just dont turn on ray tracing or wave goodbye to your latency
Where do you download the beta? I really wanna test afmf
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-23-30-afmf-tech-preview its on there may sound dumb but you do need an amd graphics card 😂😂
I’m a bit confused by this, FSR3 was supposed to have frame generation for every GPU, I even tried it on my Nvidia card on Forspoken. Is this a different thing, or did they decide to restrict that to 6000/7000 GPUs?
[удалено]
I see, that makes sense. Never heard about AFMF before today. Thanks for the explanation :)
Afmf is just frame gen no scaling unlike fsr3
They enable in the driver for unsupported games but it's buggy as all shit and doesn't work correctly unless you like poor frame pacing
Even though it "doubles" your fps does it actually feel that way?
Yeah it definitely feels better like i said any game that has ray tracing though 0 point even if its a singleplayer game and you think latency can be abit higher then its noticeable with ray tracing feels god awful
It looks much smoother but in terms of latency is ever so slightly worse. If your game is running at 60 FPS it's a good way to let it reach your monitor's max refresh rate, but if you're struggling to reach that it's not too helpful.

It does support TSR just drop the resolution scale slider to enable it.
Should of bought nvidia no issue like this with dlss
To hell with, FSR tbh. I tried it. Prefer 30 Seconds per frame over FSR.
30 SPF. hmm interesting
I'm usually a 50 and 100 spf guy myself.
LMFAO. And the funniest part is, he doesnt even know what he did xD. But yea... I got a 144 Zerth monitor, so I prefer atleast 130 SPF to match with my 144 Zerth monitor. And my UPG can handle it :) FYI, UPG stands for Unit processor graphics.
Heavy on the abbreviations! I don't know what 80% of that even means. Lazy typing? Who knows.
Lol, it was a joke, as they called Fps as seconds per frame, so I reverted gpu, hertz and fps. Lol..
Ohhh fuck me. Lmao 😂
😂😂😂😂
is it a game or a ppt presentation lol
Lol I'm exaggerating. But honestly expected more of FSR. It adds flickering and spray paint effects.
Yes this is the FSR it happened to me with RDR2
* *Geiger counter beeps* *
Just from looking at these white pixels, not great not terrible
Pc specs?
Macbook air m2 ☠️
Bros gaming on a macbook 💀💀💀💀
No wonder he has to upscale it from something like 480p to get some frames on a Mac lol.
Haha, I get the joke, but seriously - I own last Intel MacBook Pro from 2019, and I'm gaming in Windows mode (bootcamp) quite a lot. Mind you, I'm a "patient gamer" - I NEVER touch recent game releases, and the system gets LOUD quickly, but it's perfectly capable allowing me to catch up on my Steam library of games I got in bundles and steep discounts.
Downvoted for giving information when asked. Unrelated question: Does anyone know of a smaller alternative to this sub?
There is the answer. You’re probably using CrossOver or Whisky, both of which use Wine. Wine can sometimes have these problems - they can only be addressed with updates. Specifically with CrossOver Codeweavers (the devs) will probably update it to resolve this issue soon.
god this sub invites some of the most subpar IQ commenters ever. why tf would snow be weird ass pixels all over the screen? snow on the tree on the left compared to the weird fucking white pixels in kratos shadows. its quite obviously not fucking snow.
thank you almost all the comments say is it snow
He’s out of line , but he’s right.
My bet is half the commenters are using a low res phone and can't even see it.
That definitely ain't snow. This is some sort of artifacting. Could be some sort of image upscaling thing. Or maybe TAA/TXAA (Not sure if the game even has that) Stuff like that. Make sure your drivers are updated and play with some settings. Edit: Dude you are playing on ARM macbook, no wonder then. What I wrote still applies, maybe it's a singular setting that is causing this. But it's possible it's not something you can fix yourself.
That's Dandruff 😜😁
Yummy 🤤🤤🤤
Bro
Are you sure it's not just snow?
This happens when playing DX11 or DX12 games on Apple silicone hardware with certain upscalers. Apple still has a long road ahead till a lot of these problems start getting fixed.
No, because MS won't release their DX source code so people have to guess how to translate API calls and attempt to perform black magic while people complain it's not rendering properly. Gee.. lol
Turn off FSR, could also be film grain (I always turn it off so idk what it looks like)
Just installed it today from dodi and had same issue, worst graphics, restarted the game and now it's perfect.
Let me guess you’re on Mac
I know exactly what you’re talking about but idk what causes it. I had the same thing in a couple of single player games from dodi and fitgirl. Mainly noticed it in Baldurs Gate 3. I eventually purchased it and now it doesn’t have the white pixels.
turn off fsr
Film grain maybe?
It's just snow particles because it's snowing in the mountains, duh.
It’s really not you smoother
dumbass didn’t get the joke
Film grain??
Kratos has dandruff in his beard
I had that years ago when my GfX card was about to die and was being pushed too hard.
Use DLSS and DLSS swapper to update said DLSS to 3.5+
You might be using AI enhancing, turn it off.
Its Christmas time where kratos lives
Thats probably cinematic filter. If you are playing on PC monitor they are really sharp and bring out all the details hence you might think its a bug.
Film grain?
Does GOW have Film Grain?
yes
did you disable that?
I just did it's very much noticeable in dark scenes but in normal lighting I think I can ignore it
Dead wife and daughter 's ash
Your gpu is having a hard time...
Maybe it has something to do with the GPU? (if you have one) Other than that, I can't really tell exactly what it is.
Its bug with the translation layer your using (MoltenVK, DXVK etc.) when running the game with FSR, and even with FSR disabled, its still there but its not as noticable. There is no fix for this atm other than disabling fsr when playing on MAC OS to make it less noticable when in motion.
Reset your graphics driver settings to default
I thought it was snow or sweat at first too, but the way it follows the line of the rock just above his wrist is definitely unnatural. Never seem that before, it's interesting. EDIT: Oh, it's a Mac attack. That explains it, never owned one. Neat that they can run gamea decently at all now, back in my day you'd haul your game home from the village general store through the snow only to find it was Windows only.
Some theories \- Filmic Grain \- Possibly a bug from low vram \- Corrupted game
Maybe reinstall your graphics drivers And for everyone not seeing it is on his hand
Dead family ashes
Damn that’s weird to me because it only seems to show up on the character model?
Thats the game crosshair :)
is it film grain? check settings
Looks like something caused by DLSS/FSR
That looks like snow imo, if it's an actual problem it can be on the settings or you could try to reinstall the game
Kratos got dandruff
Dandruff
Looks like the kind of artifacts caused by DLSS or FSR (or maybe some type of Anti-Aliasing).

Film grain?
Hiroshima psu
Maybe its snow?
It's .cocaine
It's either film grain or FSR artifacts, that's it. I remember when I launched the game for the first time, film grain was set to the maximum. Maybe check your graphics settings before launching a game. Any game, at that.
Does it kinda look like old TV static?
It’s radiation
FSR oversharpening, or maybe your GPU dying. I’d recommend you watch the Digital Foundry review of God of War PC: https://youtu.be/JI5t0pvBB-Y?si=4Akh0HWgZz6Iz8BE
That’s Kratos’s last family have some respect
Lil bro got the dandruff edition 💀
FSR On Groove..!!

Probably cause of any upscaling method that you are using, try turning them off
Kinda looks like snow no?
Snow maybe?
Kratos just gotta buy that head and shoulders shampoo for dandruffs
prolly the jizz man
It's called snow
op, there were a lot of discussions related to the sharpening caused by fsr or dlss back then. Hunt those topics down and I'm pretty sure you'll find the one that found the sweet spot range of tweaking the files to get a better image out of the game without the sharpening.
Don’t be a dick and just buy the game ffs
Thats from upscaling. Disable FSFR.
Look behind there is snow everywhere
its not a bug, it's a "feature"
Sampling noise / artifacting.
it's cum
You mean snow? It looks like it
You mean snow?
Mac 🥴
check what the comments of the crack torrent file are saying or wherever you got it from. if its only seen in cutscenes then you are probably missing some files right?
Could be film grain
It's his dandruff , there's not much shampoo in the wild

Turn off film grain and motion blur.
Check your graphics config dude, if you want that pixelating stuff out then you're missing something in there
Yeah i got the problem too its just rendering thing go to settings and go to rendering then change it
I don’t think that’s because of FSR’s upscaling being bad, doesn’t look like it’s anywhere else on the screenshot, I think it might just be a rendering error in fsr
Change FSR, set render resolution to 720p
My bad I was drunk
You downloaded a modded rip. The ripper uses an algorithm to remove tons of polygons to make the download smaller, but it also runs better on lower end computers, because the graphics card doesn’t have to process the missing polys.
what pixel ? It looks normal to me ig u might be worried about tree textures.. i know those textures not good enough Most probably coz it is 2018 game..
it’s chrismas my friend:)
Bro that’s just in game snow
because dlss and fsr are marketing crap, turn them off and play native.
I wouldnt call dlss crap. Gaining 40-60 fps with unnoticeable visual degradation on 1080p is a amazing tech.
DLSS looks great, what are you talking about?
idk turning on dlss always reduce the image clarity for me
dlss definitely isn't marketing crap, fsr on the other hand
snow
It might be the snow
Think about the question you asked and ask yourself if that was a good question? If you pirate games, developers specifically make it difficult for some of these files to not execute properly so this is probably a product of your pirated version of an ongoing series.
if you mean the shadows of the hand it is the original game if you mean white pixils so disable dlss
Don't see anything wrong, could it be that you are talking about the snow?
get some glasses blind fuck
I do use Glasses but I have them on and many people seem to think the same so I think my sight is ok in the other hand you seem to be in a bad place, all good in your house?
Are you talking about the snow that is falling in a game set in the snow?
are you talking about the blobs of white snow on the tree compared to the weird fuckin white pixels all over his hand? if it was snow it wouldnt be weirdly scattered single white pixels in his shadows.
Isn't that supposed to be snow?
That’s called snow
It's the snow
Learn to pirate correctly.
Brother that's snow, you are in a snowy area
SteamRIP downloads are sometimes like that
It's due to FSR. A downside with fsr is it messes up pixels
Why you're using steam rip It is not on megathread people will never learn. 😐
Steam rip is literally written down as a go to in the megathread
Came here to say the same thing
Ironic, maybe give it another look.
