Issues unresolved

Hangs on black screen with FSR Framegen enabled when using Steam Overlay [citation needed]

May require an end task to exit game.
Disabling Steam overlay will fix this.

Effects like wind and rain becoming pixelated at random [citation needed]

Set vsync to half refresh rate from 144hz might solve this issue.

Issues fixed

Cannot log into PSN (stuck on white window)

Disable AdBlock in your browser[4]

Disable Async Compute

Requires Registry tweaking and having launched the game at least once.
Pascal and older GPUs are severely underutilized with Async Compute enabled. Disabling the setting leads to substantial performance improvements. [5]
  1. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Sucker Punch Productions\Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT\Graphics
  2. Double click on 'AsyncCompute' and set the value to '0'
  3. Exit Registry Editor

Use Upscaled prerendered cutscenes mod[6]
  1. Download Upscaled prerendered cutscenes.
  2. Unpack the archive and copy the cutscene folder to <path-to-game>\movies\. Overwrite when prompted.
