Horizon Zero Dawn - Patch 1.11

Guerilla has brought NVIDIA's DLSS and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution to Horizon Zero Dawn with a new update.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for PC - Patch 1.11 is now available

Hi everyone!

We’re happy to announce we’ve just released Patch 1.11 for our PC players. Here’s what this patch contains:

Graphical Improvements

• Added Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology.
• Added AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution, replacing FidelityFX CAS.

UI Changes

• Adjusted settings screen to facilitate the addition of DLSS and FSR.
• Render Scale option has been removed but same result can now be accomplished by adjusting setting Upscale Method to Simple and adjusting Upscale Quality.

Performance Improvements

• Improvement to the shader management system. This will result in a few noticeable differences:
  There is no longer a shader pre-compilation step on startup. The game will always compile shaders during loading and in the background.
• Stutters during gameplay that used to occur due to background shader compilation have now been significantly reduced.
• Because shader compilation is still happening in the background you may notice the game having a higher CPU utilization while that is happening.
• Loading screens will wait for the required shaders to be fully compiled. This may cause loading screens to take somewhat longer on certain systems.
• On higher spec machines with faster CPUs the loading screens will typically be shorter, due to more efficient shader compilation that better leverages high-end CPUs.

Please ensure your game is up-to-date before heading back out into the wilds, and reach out to us if you’re still experiencing any issues. We appreciate all of your wonderful support and feedback; we wish you a fun-filled festive period!
