Any outstanding issues on PC still left?

I was wondering what issues are still left on PC version. Can anyone please update if they were fixed or not? From what I remember:

1) Missing effect and particles (same as it was in GoW 2018 on PC)
2) Major fps drops in realm between realms, some tessellation issue
3) Issues with PS account linking

I think second was fixed judging by patchnotes, but its always better to ask. Also if I missed anything, feel free to add.

2) Major fps drops in realm between realms, some tessellation issue

I suspect this is tighed to the GPU driver (NVIDIA) 'casue it was "fixed" in a patch. With the 565.90 driver it ran smooth and fine after the fix - but then the game had a tendency to freeze for many users (me included) roughly around the 2-3h mark. I tried donwgrade my driver to 561.09, aaand volia the stutter and poor performance in real betweens were back again, but no freezing.

1) and 3) i don't know about. Missing effects i think was patched, and I haven't noticed anything wrong on my end.

I'm still getting massive fps drops to single digits and the game becomes unplayable. Even when I exit to windows the problem persists until it's restarted. This is the only game that causes this issue on my PC. Specs in this thread.

Particle effects and reflections being buggy are the only thing I can think of.. performance is really solid for me... no problems there.

I have an opportunity to borrow ps5 for about a month. Judging by comments here I better off trying the ps5 version at this point.

Generally PC is superior version, but seems with GoW is not the case.
Thank you for sharing!

This game on PC is a complete waste. Good luck trying to get a refund and it's probably not getting a fix since there's zero communications with the devs.

ingame my FPS drops from 120 to 100-110 between realms.
0 issues ingame. Stable 120 FPS + no crash or freeze.

i only got a big problem with PSN account.
after 2 hours it worked with QR-Code and my Galaxy S21 ultra.
____
first new account: Verification-issue.
after 1 hour it was fine. (in browser).
Login in ragnarok = verification needed.

2. Account
Verification in browser ok.
Login in ragnarok = wrong password...(was the SAME. try it 10 times)
Login in browser = ok

Then i try to login with QR-Code on my mobile phone => OK (with my first account)
____

=> you can try to download a mod. Then you dont have to use a PSN account.... works fine for a few ppl.

this was 100% my first and my last game with PSN-Account....
The game is pretty good (100% worth)....But now i hate PSN account-games
Next time i install a Mod that i dont need a PSN account.

Nice! thats the best option for this game.
Thats why i would play on PC not PS5.
Controller or K&M and better graphics. (with more Frames in gen.)
i never got problems with Performance. (not in horizon, rift apart, GoW and other games)
