Horizon Zero Dawn Developer Is Working To Fix Crashes On PC

Horizon Zero Dawn developer Guerrilla Games is looking into why the PC version of the game is crashing. The PC version launched on August 7, but it has some technical issues that have frustrated many players.

"I just downloaded game on PC and I'm trying to load in but after 40% game just crashes," said Redditor fortuneed. "Anyone have any solution?"

Guerrilla Games said that they've seen the posts across social media and are continuing to investigate. They'll "update [us] as soon as we have more news."

"We appreciate those who have already taken the time to report their issues on Steam, Reddit, or via our website," the studio said in a statement on Steam. "If you are still encountering crashes or bugs, please continue to use those spaces, or refer to our FAQ if you are unsure of how to proceed. Your reports are, and have already been, incredibly helpful for our teams."

Players have started to post their own workarounds on how to avoid crashes, but nothing is guaranteed to prevent them until Guerrilla Games implements a patch. On top of the reports of crashing, GameSpot's Michael Higham encountered significant frame rate drops, stuttering, and numerous bugs like character models showing the wrong texture.
