Guerrilla Games has released version 1.1 for the PC port of Horizon Forbidden West, focusing on performance optimization for mid-range hardware. The patch improves frame rates by 10 to 15 percent on GPUs with 6 to 8 GB of VRAM through better texture streaming and reduced shader compilation overhead. Intermittent freezes during underwater exploration have been resolved.
New graphics options include separate toggles for volumetric fog quality, shadow cascade distance, and an upscaling sharpness slider. HDR output improved for Dolby Vision monitors. Ultrawide cutscene presentation refined to reduce black bars.
The RG trainer works perfectly with this update. No memory address changes affect functionality. All cheats including infinite health, unlimited ammo, no weapon degradation, and max shards remain operational. Verified against both standard and Complete Edition.
