Horizon Zero Dawn: Erster PC-Patch 1.01 veröffentlicht; soll u.a. Abstürze verhindern

Nachdem Guerilla Games vergangene Woche auf Nutzerbeschwerden zu technischen Problemen einging, folgte heute der erste Patch für die PC-Umsetzung des Action-Adventures Horizon Zero Dawn. Im offiziellen Subreddit gab der Entwickler bekannt, dass vor allem Abstürze und „Hänger“ angegangen wurden.

Ein Beispiel hing laut pcgamesn.com mit Initialisierungsproblemen von Steam zusammen. Weitere Verbesserungen betreffen Slowdowns sowie Speicherprobleme im Fotomodus:
