We enjoyed our time with Aloy in Horizon: Zero Dawn for PC but the first PC-based effort for the platform was lacking in terms of performance and optimisation, especially with some popular gaming computer configurations. Now, Guerrilla Games is addressing some of the reported issues by releasing the 1.01 update patch and by creating a dedicated feedback/support thread on Reddit.

The devs thank the community "for all the reports and posts", and while "some issues still need more investigation", it seems that the patch tries to solve some of the problems already. Surprisingly enough, it's a, wait for it, 1.5 MB pack full of tweaks and fixes. Here are the known issues and patch notes:

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.
