Horizon Forbidden West is an action RPG where players can explore and fight against machines in a post-apocalyptic world. Update 1.09 went live and brought several fixes and improvements to the game. Waiting for the loading screens is one of the most boring parts when playing. So, developers optimized the loading screens to spend less time waiting, more time playing.
Bug Fix for Escaping a Boss Fight
Developers also fixed an issue where players could escape a boss fight. The now-fixed bug could previously let players run away by using their mount. Additionally, the patch fixed certain instances where the game would crash.
