Guerrilla Releases Patch 1.01 for Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Early Friday morning, Guerrilla Games released the first patch for Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC. The game has been plagued with several issues since its launch on Steam, like constant crashes, FPS drops, and even Aloy never growing up.


Patch 1.01 is a small one, and Guerrilla notes that in the Reddit post detailing what’s contained and hopefully fixed in the patch. They’re still asking players to report crashes or any other bugs that aren’t fixed after installing today’s fix. We’ve put the patch notes here for easy viewing.

Patch 1.01
KNOWN ISSUES

 

In addition to the issues identified previously, we’re working on a number of high-priority issues:

–Some players are experiencing startup crashes. Patch 1.01 fixes a few, but not all, of these crashes.
–Some players are experiencing GPU-related hangs during gameplay. The improved diagnostic data collection added in Patch 1.01 is aimed at making it easier to track these down.
–Some players are experiencing graphical settings issues, such as Anisotropic Filtering not working, 4K not displaying correctly, or HDR not working correctly.
–Some players are experiencing performance issues on specific GPUs or hardware combinations.
–We’re aware of and continue to investigate all issues in this list on Reddit as well. Thank you to u/EvilMonkeySlayer for compiling this for us.
