Patch 1.06 continues to roll out crash fixes.
Horizon Zero Dawn

The 1.06 patch for Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC was released today by Guerrilla Games. Much like the previous handful of patches for the game, this update largely includes fixes for various crashing issues that the game has been widely known for.

The problem here is that there are still some outstanding issues that the team is working on. The full list of changes from today's 1.06 update can be found below, including a list of the known issues.

KNOWN ISSUES
  • Some players are experiencing an out of memory error during the game optimization process.
  • Some players are experiencing graphical settings issues, such as Anisotropic Filtering or HDR not working correctly.
  • Some players are experiencing performance issues on specific GPUs or hardware combinations.
  • We're aware of and continue to investigate issues that are not yet solved on both the player-compiled lists by u/EvilMonkeySlayer and u/Rampage572 – thank you!
