Fixes

  • Low game volume on stereo outputs (#18, #41, #48). The game sends 7.1 audio, and the previous stereo downmix kept only about 21% of the front channels (about 13.5 dB quieter). The port now folds 7.1 into stereo itself: front channels at full level, center and surrounds at -3 dB, with a limiter so loud scenes do not distort. 5.1 and 7.1 outputs are unchanged.
  • Game running on the integrated GPU (#38). New Performance → GPU data → Graphics card option: Automatic (dedicated GPU first, as before) or a specific GPU. The game log now lists every GPU Vulkan reports and the one in use. If no dedicated GPU appears in that list, its Vulkan driver is not installed correctly.
  • A saved GPU that no longer exists (removed card, changed driver order) now falls back to automatic selection instead of closing the game.

Launcher

  • Incomplete game dumps (#10): PLAY now lists the missing files (sce_sys/param.sfo, sce_module/libc.prx, sce_module/libSceFios2.prx) instead of failing with a raw file error.
  • Full 01.02 update (eboot.bin sha256 6e72330e…, #6, #29, #42 and similar reports): the launcher now names this build and says patch support for it is in progress, instead of the generic "patches not available" message. Patches and cheats still apply only to the eboot.bin build they were checked against (sha256 d85c8135…).

Patches

  • Added Skip Intro (skips the initial logos) for the d85c8135… eboot.bin build. Disabled by default; enable it in the launcher's patch list.

Validation

  • Audio: unit test for the downmix, plus 127 s of real game audio passed through the old and the new downmix: +13.5 dB average level, peak at -6.4 dBFS, no samples limited.
  • GPU choice: launcher tests, gow3-gpu-capabilities --list on an AMD RX 6700 XT, and a game start with an invalid saved GPU (fell back to automatic and ran normally).
  • Incomplete dump: the PLAY warning listed the missing files and the game did not start.
  • Skip Intro: the logos were skipped in game.
  • Launcher, patch and runtime tests passed on Windows.

You still need your own God of War III Remastered game files. No game files are included.
