Titled NoPSSDK, this mod from iArtorias fully strips the PlayStation PC SDK runtime requirement for God of War Ragnar\u00f6k. This means you won\u2019t have to log in to the PlayStation Network (or deal with any corresponding errors) with this mod installed. As for the actual installation, it\u2019s quite simple; you just have to download the mod and paste both of its files into the game directory. The modder also mentioned players still facing the login error should remove the file located in \u201cC:\\Users\\[Username]\\\\Saved Games\\God of War Ragnar\u00f6k\\[AccountID]\\userpreferences.\u201d An additional step that might be required in some cases is to head into the Windows Firewall settings and restrict the God of War Ragnar\u00f6k application file from connecting to the internet. As with most mods, NoPSSDK too might be prone to breaking when the game gets updated. Although the mod author promises that they'd maintain the tool if and when that happens. The mod only solves half of the problems created by the PSN requirement though. As is the case with every other PlayStation title on PC this year, God of War Ragnar\u00f6k is unavailable in almost two-thirds of the world where PSN isn't available. This includes all of Africa, and even the Baltics in the European Union. That means players from these regions can't buy the game legally. The God of War sequel's been at the forefront of controversy during its PC launch, with most negative Steam reviews pointing to Sony\u2019s stance of enforcing PSN accounts on a wholly singleplayer game. And as it turns out, the game is running mighty fine without it. Ragnar\u00f6k's rating sits at \"mostly positive\" on Steam right now with 70 percent positive reviews, up from \"mixed\" at launch. Interestingly, the top review on the Steam page recommends the mod in question; that seems to be the general mood of PC gamers across the board. We have to see whether Sony takes steps to take down the mod or just make bypassing PSN impossible. Until then though, we will hopefully see mods like this crop up eventually for Ghost of Tsushima, Helldivers 2, and every upcoming PlayStation title heading to PC.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/god-of-war-ragnarok-steam-screenshot.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2588"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1348726"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1348799,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726\/revisions\/1348799"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1348745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1348726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1348726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Titled NoPSSDK, this mod from iArtorias fully strips the PlayStation PC SDK runtime requirement for God of War Ragnar\u00f6k. This means you won\u2019t have to log in to the PlayStation Network (or deal with any corresponding errors) with this mod installed. As for the actual installation, it\u2019s quite simple; you just have to download the mod and paste both of its files into the game directory. The modder also mentioned players still facing the login error should remove the file located in \u201cC:\\Users\\[Username]\\\\Saved Games\\God of War Ragnar\u00f6k\\[AccountID]\\userpreferences.\u201d An additional step that might be required in some cases is to head into the Windows Firewall settings and restrict the God of War Ragnar\u00f6k application file from connecting to the internet. As with most mods, NoPSSDK too might be prone to breaking when the game gets updated. Although the mod author promises that they'd maintain the tool if and when that happens. The mod only solves half of the problems created by the PSN requirement though. As is the case with every other PlayStation title on PC this year, God of War Ragnar\u00f6k is unavailable in almost two-thirds of the world where PSN isn't available. This includes all of Africa, and even the Baltics in the European Union. That means players from these regions can't buy the game legally. The God of War sequel's been at the forefront of controversy during its PC launch, with most negative Steam reviews pointing to Sony\u2019s stance of enforcing PSN accounts on a wholly singleplayer game. And as it turns out, the game is running mighty fine without it. Ragnar\u00f6k's rating sits at \"mostly positive\" on Steam right now with 70 percent positive reviews, up from \"mixed\" at launch. Interestingly, the top review on the Steam page recommends the mod in question; that seems to be the general mood of PC gamers across the board. We have to see whether Sony takes steps to take down the mod or just make bypassing PSN impossible. Until then though, we will hopefully see mods like this crop up eventually for Ghost of Tsushima, Helldivers 2, and every upcoming PlayStation title heading to PC.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/god-of-war-ragnarok-steam-screenshot.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2588"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1348726"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1348799,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726\/revisions\/1348799"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1348745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1348726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1348726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Titled NoPSSDK, this mod from iArtorias fully strips the PlayStation PC SDK runtime requirement for God of War Ragnar\u00f6k. This means you won\u2019t have to log in to the PlayStation Network (or deal with any corresponding errors) with this mod installed. As for the actual installation, it\u2019s quite simple; you just have to download the mod and paste both of its files into the game directory. The modder also mentioned players still facing the login error should remove the file located in \u201cC:\\Users\\[Username]\\\\Saved Games\\God of War Ragnar\u00f6k\\[AccountID]\\userpreferences.\u201d An additional step that might be required in some cases is to head into the Windows Firewall settings and restrict the God of War Ragnar\u00f6k application file from connecting to the internet. As with most mods, NoPSSDK too might be prone to breaking when the game gets updated. Although the mod author promises that they'd maintain the tool if and when that happens. The mod only solves half of the problems created by the PSN requirement though. As is the case with every other PlayStation title on PC this year, God of War Ragnar\u00f6k is unavailable in almost two-thirds of the world where PSN isn't available. This includes all of Africa, and even the Baltics in the European Union. That means players from these regions can't buy the game legally. The God of War sequel's been at the forefront of controversy during its PC launch, with most negative Steam reviews pointing to Sony\u2019s stance of enforcing PSN accounts on a wholly singleplayer game. And as it turns out, the game is running mighty fine without it. Ragnar\u00f6k's rating sits at \"mostly positive\" on Steam right now with 70 percent positive reviews, up from \"mixed\" at launch. Interestingly, the top review on the Steam page recommends the mod in question; that seems to be the general mood of PC gamers across the board. We have to see whether Sony takes steps to take down the mod or just make bypassing PSN impossible. Until then though, we will hopefully see mods like this crop up eventually for Ghost of Tsushima, Helldivers 2, and every upcoming PlayStation title heading to PC.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/god-of-war-ragnarok-steam-screenshot.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2588"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1348726"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1348799,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348726\/revisions\/1348799"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1348745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1348726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1348726"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1348726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
