If you are running the game on mid-range hardware, consider the following:
The v1.5.8.0 update is primarily a stability and optimization patch. While the base game launched in a polished state, the "Complete Edition" integrates various features that require ongoing maintenance. Key Highlights:
Backup Your Saves: Before applying any patch, copy your save folder (typically found in your Documents folder under "Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition") to a safe location.
Shadow Quality: Lowering this from "Very High" to "Medium" can grant a 10-15% FPS boost with minimal visual impact.Texture Filtering: Keep this high (8x or 16x) as it has a low performance cost but keeps the world looking sharp.Upscaling: Utilize DLSS (Nvidia), FSR (AMD), or XeSS (Intel) to maintain high frame rates at 1440p or 4K resolutions.
