Experimental Branch – Test Fix for "Out of Memory" Errors

[banshee_SMS]

We've seen a number of people reporting issues with "Out of Memory" errors on start up when the computer should otherwise have ample memory.

In our investigation of these issues we found that the vast majority of these were happening to people with new 12th Gen Intel CPUs with integrated graphics and that disabling the graphics card allowed people to work around the issue.

We've prepared a hot fix to resolve this issue and would love your help in validating the fix if you're willing. We've setup a separate branch on Steam called "experimental" that will allow you to download this hot fix and see if it resolves the issue.

Please note that we have not completed our full round of quality assurance testing on this build, so there could be instances of instability that we have not identified yet. Still, if you're willing to help, please download this new build and let us know in the comments how it goes.

To access the experimental branch, follow these steps:

• In your Steam library, right click on ‘God of War’ and select ‘Properties’
  
• Select the ‘BETAS’ tab
  
• Change the drop down to ‘experimental’

If you do not see the experimental branch in the drop down, please restart your Steam client.

To switch back to the default branch, follow these steps:

• In your Steam library, right click on ‘God of War’ and select ‘Properties’
  
• Select the ‘BETAS’ tab
  
• Change the drop down to ‘none’

Did you guys have the latest 511.23 graphics driver from nVidia if you have a nVdia card? I believe AMD released a new driver for God of War too around a week back, not sure about driver details as I don't have an AMD graphics card.

Yes.

Won't even launch.

Anyone else having "GoW: not enough memory" issue?

Please ensure that your PC has enough memory free to be able to run the game by closing background applications.

If you are still having issues, please open a ticket on our support page.[support.sms.playstation.com]

Hello,
I think if a lot of people is getting an error like this, the problem wouldnt be on our computers right ?

Yes. I also tried exiting Precision X1 and Razer Synapse, disabling my efficiency cores, running as admin and disabling fullscreen optimizations. And I don't have any Antivirus running. No luck.

I believe that. All other games work perfectly for me

There is a thread in tech support about it. Fairly common.

Disabling the internal graphics card fixed it for me.

[GameBunny77]

Hmm I wonder if on some systems the game is trying to use the inbuilt Igpu on some intel processors?! May be disable Intel IGPU it from the BIOS so that the game is forced to use the dedicated graphics card and see if that helps.

[Alarcus_SMS]

We're taking a look at this internally. Please use the steps pinned to this thread to send in a report with your DXDiag information as it will greatly help us resolve this issue.

Also, could you all please try rebooting your PC and try to launch the game again?

No specific error in the upcoming reporting screen here, just crashing back to desktop once the Santa Monica Studios logo comes up (which looks like it is in a strange resolution).
The PS Studios Logo Animation is being played fine as well as the brightness settings worked fine, but once SMS Logo is loaded, it crashes back to desktop. Reported twice already. ;)

I FOUND THE FIX MY GUYS go into your device manager and disable the internal graphics from your motherboard - restart steam and you are rdy to go. apparently the game thinks you want to start it with your motherboard onboard graphic. eitherway have fun playing.

in case you dont know how to :
rightclick windows symbol - device manager - graphiccard - intel onboard rightclick deactivate and you are done :;D

[Exploding Kitten]

Yeah, the same problem on 12700k, 3080 (latest driver from nvidia), 32gb, Windows 11. I've submitted a ticket. Hope they fix it soon.
