God of War constantly crashes

Hi friends.

Ever since God of War was released on the PS4, I wanted to play it. Loved the original trilogy, wanted to give this one a go.

Since God of War has a “Verified” badge I ended up buying it. Unfortunately the experience has been really really bad. The game crashes every 10-20 minutes. The steam deck (OLED) completely freezes and I have to hard reboot the device.

I’ve googled about this issue, everyone seems to point at these graphical settings and some others but none seem to work.

I’ve tried several Proton versions, with and without GE but also no luck. The game crashes a lot. It’s disappointing that the game has the “Verified” badge but is basically unplayable. No other game has ever given me any trouble.

Anyone had this problem and managed to get it to work? Thanks.

Do you have vsync off? Probably not the culprit since it’s a crash, but I frequently get odd performance issues on the OLED model with Vsync on.
