Guerrilla Games has listed the known Horizon Zero Dawn PC issues it’s currently investigating ahead of the game’s launch.
In an update onSteamahead of the game’s August 7 release (it will also be available via theEpic Games Store),Guerrilladetailedtwo “high priority” issues it’s looking into.

It said anisotropic filtering settings aren’t working at the moment, while “some systems may experience a brief stutter during general world traversal, UI updates, quest updates, or camera swaps in cutscenes”.
It also said that some animations are designed to only refresh at 30fps even if the game is running at a higher frame rate, something it hopes to address with a future update.

Players will need to complete a shader compilation process before the game starts for the first time, which Guerrilla said takes about 10-15 minutes for most systems.
“Additionally the shader compilation process does not properly verify remaining storage space on userPCand can result in crashes if the user’s storage drive is low on space (compilation process requires additional ~2GB storage space).”
