A pochi giorni dall’uscita del primo update della versione PC di Horizon Zero Dawn, la Guerrilla Games aggiorna nuovamente il titolo con la patch 1.02.

La patch in questione dovrebbe sistemare definitivamente i molteplici problemi che il best seller, esclusiva PS4 fino a non troppo tempo fa, affliggono il porting PC dell’opera di Guerrilla Games. Tra i principali problemi risolti dalla patch abbiamo il fastiodissimo crash all’avvio e la mancata sincronizzazione di alcune animazioni su schermi a più di 30Hz. Anche le prestazioni in generale dovrebbero aver ricevuto un lieve miglioramento. Nonostante ciò, è ancora consigliato non spingere al massimo le opzioni grafiche nel caso si riscontravano grossi problemi di fluidità prima di questa patch.

In ogni caso, le problematiche di certe situazioni specifiche sono ancora tutte presenti: il lancio su PC di horizon zero dawn infatti non è andato esattamente come era auspicabile, ma il team ha detto che il lavoro di debug non si fermerà di certo qui, sembra infatti che Guerrilla sia intenzionata a migliorare costantemente il gioco, come testimoniano l’arrivo di ben due aggiornamenti in soli 10 giorni. Se volete scoprire ogni singolo dettaglio dell’aggiornamento, vi invitiamo a leggere il changelog completo ufficiale di Guerrilla Games, che vi riportiamo qui al completo ed in lingua originale:
