If you can't run this whole thing well with your PC specs... How is it on more "normal" PCs? :) And also was the stuttering issue solved?

Patch 1.10 for Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition has been released (PC)
- Thread starter Arthands
- Start date
I have a theory that Sony staple games like these without performance patches have PS5 remasters planned within the next year. Do you think there could be any truth to that? I guess I'm curious how much work it is to add these BC patches and whether it's intentional or a matter of resources.
Notice some of the games with performance patches were Tsushima, Days Gone, and Infamous Second Son, which I think are all unlikely to get remasters anytime soon. Others like GoW are conspicuously missing and yet are confirmed to run 60 FPS when played with no patches.
according to who? they sold 100s of thousands of copies of a shitty port at launch.
Eh, I think it's more along the lines of how busy the teams are. Guerilla is presumably fairly well along on full production of Forbidden West and have ended up in an extended patch cycle they didn't anticipate for the PC version of Zero Dawn. It's fairly likely they just don't have the bandwith to put out a PS5 performance patch right now. It wouldn't surprise me to see one come later this year using the fixed version of the PC version as a base.
Similar for God of War- they are full bore working on Ragnarok right now and probably haven't been active with the original GoW PS4 codebase for three years now since it didn't get expansions or anything.
Something like GoT makes sense for a quick PS5 patch since Sucker Punch was still in active post launch support of the title.
That makes sense now that you mention it. My original theory was that they were planning to pull a Spider-Man and bundle remasters with the new games coming in 2021 and 2022 as an "ICYMI" move to Sony newcomers. Same idea for the TLoU II multiplayer paired with a remaster. The logic being that Sony doesn't want to create a value conundrum to just buy the PS4 version on sale when you can get 4K60 minus DualSense and 3D audio features. Either way, we'll probably need to wait on new content releases first.

If Horizon were to get the Spider-Man remastered treatment (ie all new lighting and largely redone texture work), I think it would have happened in conjunction with the PC release. I can't see them releasing a vastly upgraded Zero Dawn less than a year after the PC release. And they can't really charge for the PC upgrades since it mainly just amounts to moving foliage. *If* Zero Dawn gets upgraded for PS5 I think it will just be a free patch with 60 fps and maybe the dynamic foliage.
I think you are right about a potential TLoU Part 2 upgrade coming with the multiplayer.
I was just thinking that, like I never used that key at all let alone constantly press it in game
Yeah it is fixed. The game looks and runs great now but the load times are still pretty bad.
What issues are still persistent? I assume everything physics related like the hair and foliage animation, as well as cutscenes.
Same. I bought it on PS4 when in came out and was pretty meh. Now I'm about 40 hours in on PC and loving it. Keyboard and mouse helps and now I can really enjoy the graphics. It's a beautiful game.
Unless Sony gave them too strict of a deadline or something. Do we know any details?
doesn't matter what's better though. the best one is the one everyone has by default that does what it needs to^^
all I need to turn my 0 into a 1 is boring ass notepad lol
yes as per several posts on this and the previous page :)
Patch 1.09 mentions improvements to plant simulation at framerates over 30: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1151640/allnews/
I haven't confirmed myself yet.
It never ran badly on a 3080 since the most glaring issues were fixed before the card was released. Not much to be surprised about.
I'm seeing a slight microstutter every ~five seconds on my G-Sync monitor. Not enough to really bother me, honestly. I notice it most easily when slowly rotating the camera.
edit: Oh shit, I didn't read the thread very closely. I'm just talking about the base game. I'm not using any graphics mods.
I just tested this. Long grass and Aloy's hair both look like they're animating over 30 FPS during gameplay. Not sure about cutscenes.
This was a problem since launch (on Steam at least)!
I can't believe they still haven't fixed it...
No no, they're animating OVER 30 FPS. It looks fixed to me. I haven't checked a cutscene.
This.
I even have a high end PC and this is one of the very few games where I keep it for my PS4 Pro/PS5. The HDR is insane and I love everything about it. Not surprised that the PC version had several issues in the past and it seems like it's still unoptimized atm.
Alright, I'll try out SpecialK! Do you recommend using it for every game, considering framepacing is apparently what causes Gsync flicker on the CX? Also should I disable Vsync in the NVCP if I'm using SpecialK?
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with every game -- DX10 isn't supported at all (mind you, literally 99% of DX10 games also support either DX9 or DX11), and DX12 and Vulkan support is hit-or-miss -- but, yeah, I'd definitely recommend using it in lieu of vsync/RTSS/etc. wherever possible.

Notepad++ is a far better application for editing because you can literally edit anything, with a far superior layout. Plus it has all thesupport for scripting languages.
I dislike companies shifting off a game requiring fixes/updates if there are still clear issues, however it sounds like that's for the most part sorted? Typically you'd keep a skeleton crew looking after a game that's not even a year old (and had severe bugs), but obviously things are good and priorities lay in the sequel.
Holy shit I need that. Thanks for the tip!! Gonna download that tonight
inFamous Second Son/First Light received no related PS5 patches. All of the current resolution and framerate options in those games were introduced when the PS4 Pro released. The only Sony games to receive PS5 'aware' patches are GoT and Days Gone.
Does this game now have snow deformation like on console?
I remember that was missing in the PC port

Is this needed if I play with an unlocked framerate on a Gsync screen? Or only if I want to cap the framerate?
It's optional now. But it can lead to better performance. Also, since they ré done patching, you'd only have to do it one least time.
I thought you had to do it everytime the game was booted? Was that changed or was that a glitch to begin with? Was I just misinformed? lol
How do we know they're done patching? Have they confirmed no more patches are coming?
Pretty sure you have to do it after each driver update, but certainly not after each game boot lol
only needs to cache shaders once unless theres an update which it doesnt look like there will be
huh maybe I'll play it on my PC then one of these days instead of console
To those that asked if "pressing the windows key continuous"...
having something lay on the keyboard (folder, map, phone), pushing something to the side on the table can lead to something overlaping with a key (like the windows key) and triggering it, etc...
dont know how big your desks are and if they are always free from any stuff, but for me it happens that i had stuff on the desk foruniversity, or a plate, or 2 synths... stuff that i wont remove just for a gamign session if ill use it later.
Also: configs in txt files instead of binarys should be the norm, so good on them for doing that =D

Can also say use Special K, been using with Horizon with no issues. I've actually been using it in almost every game now a days because it basically fixes all the frame pacing issues games have, and I can play all the non hdr games with proper hdr. If anyone is going to use special k though you should grab the latest release from the discord channel link on the discourse site since it has a ton of improvements.
