Horizon Zero Dawn

Just about to start a new play through myself. May I recommend turning auto aim off and changing your HUD settings to dynamic. IMO it makes for a far more immersive experience.

PATCH NOTES


Crash Fixes

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when users would create a new game and their save game slots were full.
  • Fixed a startup crash related to temp folder.
  • Fixed an AI crash that could occur during combat.
  • Fixed an AI crash in the EventMessageHandler.
  • Fixed a crash related to WorldData sampling (the callstack would end in WorldMapData::SampleAtPixel).
  • Fixed a crash when users would instantly back out when changing sliders in the Settings menu.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur when having the "Greetings" option open in photo mode and then exiting.
  • Potential fix for memory corruption in AI routines which could lead to crashes.
  • Potential fix for a GPU hang caused by a threading issue.
  • Fixed a mismatch that would occur on Shader Model 6.0 and 6.1 hardware which could lead to a crash.

Other improvements

  • HDR - Fixed colour banding issues in HDR mode.

  • Cutscenes - Fixed an issue where geometry and textures would pop in after camera cuts.
  • Adaptive Performance - Fixed an issue where lighting glitches would occur when turning on Adaptive Performance.
  • Volumetrics - Fixed an issue which could cause blinking artifacts in volumetric effects, like fog.

I'm not seeing any performance impact after running the benchmark.
 
New patch improved my native res performance in Ultra.

In actual gameplay it feels smoother all round.
 
Waiting for the bugs to be fixed, and it to drop in price. (I have a tendency to buy games and then not play them very long).

Impromptu three day camping trip, 500 dollars, no prob. 50 dollar game... arms flapping at the price! lol.

2080ti, £1,100. Game to play on it at 100+FPS, won't pay more than £20.
 
Waiting for it to drop to about a tenner. As I played and throughly enjoyed it on my PS4 Pro about 10 months ago. So would be nice to add to steam collection and play again sometime.
 
I've noticed definite improvements in frame rate. At 1440p with everything but the below settings maxed out I get FPS of 70 - 90 in most places. Occasionally dropping to 60+ in the ruins. All in all I'm happy with how it runs.

Clouds: Normal
Reflections: Normal
Shadows: High
HBAO: High

I can safely say 3440x1440 on ultra is supremely playable at 60fps. Really enjoying it the new patch has made a world of difference. The aspect ratio on load still needs an ALT+ENTER double tap to fix but hey, game looks and runs great now so a minor annoyance I guess.

RTX 2070S with a 6700K, I'm confident for cyberpunk now given that it uses DLSS 2.0.
 
Absolutely loving this, I am about 18 hours in and upto the last hour or so has been smooth sailing but performance is starting to dip and get worse the further I play! Hopefully it works itself out.
 
So I'm slowly working my way through, just taking it easy and enjoying the ride.
Do you use the same bow throughout the entire game?
I see you can upgrade it slightly with the mods, but do you get a BFG bow at some point?

At the stage now where some machines are getting a chore to take down.
