However, even the best games likeGod of War Ragnarokstill get glitches and bugsfrom time to time, and player Zark937 seemed to have discovered one that affected a realm’s texturing. In a Reddit post, they shared a photo showing an entirely white Svartalfheim, which originally looks more green and rocky, and asked for a fix for the bug as it persisted even after they restarted the game.
ManyGod of War Ragnarokplayers in the comments were just as confused by the bug as they initially thought they were looking at a shot taken from Midgard and Niflheim, which are realms that are actually covered in snow in the game. Fortunately, a couple of people offered some fixes to the problem, suggesting that the environment turned white because the player might have had high contrast on, or they might have accidentally tinkered with the accessibility settings. In an update, Zark937 said it was because of the former, which they accidentally turned on in the settings.
