Guerrilla Games has released patch 1.06 for the PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn. According to the release notes, this latest update fixes a number of issues that affected most PC gamers. However, this patch does not seem to feature any performance improvements.
Going into more details, update 1.06 improves overall stability by fixing a streaming compute shader crash. It also fixes a crash on startup related to file paths with non-ANSI characters.
Furthermore, this latest update fixes an issue where box graphics would flash during the final cinematic of the game. It also fixes an issue where turning on the Adaptive FPS option gave lower performance results than setting similar results manually.
As always, Steam will download this latest patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.

Console games – Best enjoyed on PC, what new ? =)
I can’t enjoy AAA tripe regardless if it’s on PC or not
Time to get it during the Steam Halloween sale.
Just pirate this piece of shxt port
Appreciate all of the extra work done on the PC version of Zero Dawn. Forbidden West on PC will be a DAY ONE purchase for me.
Oh ok so in 5 years lol
We went from “never ever” to “5 years”
I guess brand loyal drones need to justify their locked down boxes somehow
I’ve never bought consoles AKA dust gathering boxes. I just think it’s funny that he’s excited about a game that’s not going to be on the PC until ps6 is around the corner.
A mediocre game at that
The walking direction was actually one of the worst parts of this port initially. It was like they made no account for the fact that people would actually play this game with kb&m.
AF cant go higher than Medium and Reflections cant go higher than High at “Ultimate Quality” Preset. No fps boost over patch 1.05 for Vega 64 + 3700x + 32gb Ram
It’s still amazes me how much of a mess this port is.
Runs like a charm in 4k with 60fps(3080, 8700k, 32gb ram)???
