📋 About This Mod

(Updated to Support 1. 12 Game Update)

1. 12 patch files is PrePatched All-in-one pack, no need to patch anything, you can rename the exe file to for mod/cheat.

I modified the OS version detection behavior. Now, the modified version can enter the game with Win7/8/8. 1/10/11. It is normal that a dialog window will pop up first when executing on Win7/8/8. 1. (v1. 12 will not pop up the dialog window when executing, also bypasses the DX version check)

我修改了OS版本偵測行為,現在修改版用Win7/8/8. 1/10/11執行可進入遊戲。在Win7/8/8. 1執行會先彈出一個對話視窗是正常的。

(v1. 12在執行時不會彈出對話視窗,另外也繞過DX版本檢查)

After GoW.exe is patched, please download DXVK d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll and unzip next to GoW.exe, then start the game. Use DXVK Async Version if necessary.

將Patch套用到GoW.exe後,請下載解壓縮DXVK的d3d11.dll及dxgi.dll及GoW.exe旁邊,有需要可使用DXVK Async版本。

Increasing the virtual memory above 16GB can prevent the game from crashing at any time.

增加虛擬記憶體至16GB以上可以避免遊戲隨時當機。

When you use VK but it says Vulkan-1.dll not found error, you should install Vulkan Runtime first.

當您使用 DXVK 但它出現 Vulkan-1.dll not found 錯誤,您應該先安裝 Vulkan Runtime。

If you want to use Async function, please add in [ dxvk.conf ].

想使用Async功能請在 [ dxvk.conf ]中加上 。

Download dxvk-async 1. 10. 1 from dxvk-async's GitHub Releases. Then extract d3d11.dll & dxgi.dll from tar.gz, look for the game folder, create a text file called , and add a sentence [ dxvk.enableAsync = true].

在dxvk-async的GitHub Releases下載 dxvk-async-1. 10. 1.tar.gz 然後抽取d3d11.dll & dxgi.dll 放在遊戲資料夾內,建立一個叫 的文字檔案在裡面加上一句 [ dxvk.enableAsync = true ]。

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This patch modifies the OS version detection in God of War to allow the game to run on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, and it also works on Windows 10/11. It requires DXVK and DXVK-Async for older systems.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Gets God of War running on Windows 7/8/8.1 — a lifesaver for those stuck on older OSes
  • Works on modern Windows too, so it's not just for legacy users
  • Solid community trust: 121 endorsements and 6k downloads show it's been used successfully

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires manual setup of DXVK and DXVK-Async — not a simple drop-in patch
  • Last updated June 2022 — may not work with newer game patches or Windows updates
🎯 Is This For You?
For God of War players still on Windows 7/8/8.1 who want to play without upgrading their OS. Also useful for anyone who wants to bypass OS checks on modern systems. Skip if you're on a fully updated Windows 10/11 and don't need legacy support.
📦 Install:Hard· 15+ minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to download the correct DXVK version for your GPU (Vulkan support is a must).
  • Place the DXVK DLLs in the same folder as the game executable, then apply the patch.
  • If you're on Windows 10/11, you can skip DXVK-Async, but it's still recommended for performance.
