Guerrilla Games have released another patch for the PC version of their action-adventure Horizon Zero Dawn. This time, the patch brings a couple of graphical improvements and a fix for startup crashing.
Earlier this year, Guerrilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn released on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store but sadly, it was a release that suffered from many technical issues such as poor frame time, crashing and other graphical glitches.
Fortunately, the developers worked hard in the last couple of months to deliver several post-launch patches which improved the game, fixing many crashing issues and squashing several bugs in the process.
Today, we have another patch which once again improves the stability of the game. The full patch notes, which you can check below, reveal that the startup crash issue has been fixed and on top of this, there are several graphical and gameplay improvements too.
