Guerrilla Games released a new update that gets rid of some graphical bugs and certain rare crashes. As such, Horizon Zero Dawn's terrible PC port is now fixed , more or less.
The everlasting HDR bug is finally resolved. Now, you can enjoy the world of Horizon with HDR without any issues, assuming you have a monitor that supports it. Plant animation is no longer stuck at 30 FPS and turning off shadow in graphics option will not turn off the fog.
The patch optimized the overall shader as well. A VRAM gauge is also added to the graphic settings to let you set graphics easily. Developers addressed crashing issues that occurred when switching resolution. They fixed too the crash triggered during a cutscene in the quest “The Face of Extinction.”
This is probably not the last update of Horizon as there are still some minor issues that need solutions. You can check out the highlights of the patch and the list of known issues below.
