Horizon Zero Dawn PC Version New Update Fixes More Crashes

Horizon Zero Dawn

Game studio Guerilla Games just uploaded the latest update for popular video game Horizon Zero Dawn for PC as promised.

The latest version of the update is patch 1.02 and was dropped today for PC. It will address several issues that patch 1.01 did not cover last time. Optimization was the one that had so many issues and this new patch finally fixed these crashes.

The developers still posted the known issues that are not covered in the latest updates so that they can pinpoint these bugs and fix them with another update.

Check out the notes here:

Known Issues

  • Some players are experiencing an out of memory error during the game optimization process.
  • Some players are experiencing GPU-related hangs during gameplay. The improved diagnostic data collection added in Patch 1.01 and Patch 1.02 is aimed at making it easier to track these down.
  • Some players are experiencing graphical settings issues, such as Anisotropic Filtering or HDR not working correctly.
  • Some players are experiencing performance issues on specific GPUs or hardware combinations.
  • Some players with a non-Latin-1 codepage may have had their save games missing after Patch 1.01; we have a script that can help relocate the missing save games. Please reach out to our team here using “Report Other Issue” for support.
  • We’re aware of and continue to investigate issues on both the player-compiled lists by u/EvilMonkeySlayer and u/Rampage572 – thank you!
