Modders Come to the Rescue as God of War: Ragnarok PC Port Stumbles

Of course, anyone who's also old enough to remember those days will tell you that these fixes come with their first share of risks. So while it may work for some—it lets you say "No" to the prompt when it asks you to link your PSN account to stop— it's still best to exercise caution.

According to the mod author iArtorias, those who are still having trouble even with the bypass mod may have to block "GoWR.exe" in Windows firewall settings.

Another recommended mod for God of War: Ragnarok is the "Anti-Stutter - High CPU and Disk Priority - GoW Ragnarok" mod," which, as per the creator, "can help with performance on weaker CPUs and slower disks." However, the creator warns that "a performance improvement is not guaranteed" and that the best "this mod can provide is a reduction in stuttering, even if FPS stays the same."

Both mods do one thing that Sony should've done in the first place: fix God of War: Ragnarok.

You'd think a game that came out on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 wouldn't need as much optimization since it's built to run on slower and much older hardware. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case, and it's becoming pretty clear by now where PC ports lie in Sony's list of priorities.

So far, the PSN bypass mod is one of the first of its kind. Unless things change, and it probably won't, we'll likely see similar mods for future first-party Sony titles when they inevitably come to the PC.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered

and

Marvel's Spider-Man 2

are expected to get PC ports someday. If we're lucky,

Bloodborne

will get a PC port, but something tells us Sony would refer to remaster it for the PS5 first,

like what it's doing

with

Horizon Zero Dawn

and
