AMD GPU VRAM is finally safe

Horizon Zero Dawn has been receiving steady updates since its launch on PC in August. Guerilla Games hasn’t shied from shoring up the less-than-ideal state in which the game launched. One bug that has persisted throughout every update is a nefarious VRAM issue specific to AMD GPUs. That problem has now been eradicated.

With Patch 1.09 over a month behind us, Guerilla has reappeared to show us they are still working hard, even with the sequel, Forbidden West, on the … horizon. I’m not apologizing for that. Let’s move on from terrible puns and dive into the contents of Patch 1.10.
