Horizon Forbidden West Patch 1.08 Is Out Now, Here Are the Patch Notes

The only thing I would like to see is the option to have waypoints direct you as the crow flies, not to the nearest road that will take you there.

It’s a bit annoying to keep opening the map to make sure you are facing the right way, while running miles over open areas and your marker keeps directing you in the opposite direction to get back on a path.

Unless the option is already buried in the settings somewhere, then just ignore me. Haha.

EDIT: I would also like them to completely remove photo mode so I can actually get on with playing the game, rather than stopping every 3 minutes to do a photoshoot. Haha. Crazy how good this game looks.

was hoping for new game plus but was a few months before the first game got one.

I want new game plus and annouced DLC.

I just want them to turn down that extra loud shrieking mount whistle. But it's a damn beautiful game, just look at them unique outfits, weapons and machines.

@SoulChimera Lol it's been in HZD even. Choose "way pathfinder" or something and then you won't have to open the map repeatedly.

@SoulChimera When you set a waypoint, it appears on your compass as the crow flies. Just follow that.

Finished the game already and didn’t encounter many problems but there are some improvements here that will definitely be appreciated - like the firegleam on map thing and unlocking the inaccessible datapoints.

When will this sad era of incomplete games end? Companies now start to use "Patch notes" announcements as a form of advertising for their games lol ... It came out with lots of bugs but hey, buy it still, it's fixed now

@SoulChimera I wish more games used the golden trail from Fable 2. That never even had a map! You could just tell it where to lead you and it didnt matter if you wandered off because you could always just follow the trail back.

Other than fixing Performance Mode, which is still on the list to be fixed, Firegleam not getting removed from the map once you blew it up was one of the highest things on my list of things needed to be fixed. I'm glad they finally fixed that.

Hopefully the weapon "balancing" is a good thing and not a bad thing.

@themightyant @Stuffgamer1 @TheArt

Thanks. I brought it up because it worked like that in Horizon Zero Dawn. I'll check the settings again later. Must have missed the option to change the way the compass shows it.

Thanks again.

I am 85 hours in and just now finding out you can swan dive?!?

Hope the Firegleam and metal flowers fix also fixes hunting for Greenshine slabs (it keeps trying to send me to where I've already taken one, and doesn't register that it's gone)

So glad they have fixed the Firegleam removal bug, as it can be immensely annoying revisiting an area that you are 99% certain you have already done, but that niggling 1% makes you return anyway. It plays havoc with my 'must have completed everything on the map' OCD...

The only real bug I ran into was when a bunch of machines had no body and only the parts that are removable were showing.

Gave me a good chuckle so it was worth it.

Hello! I have been playing this game for over 90 hours and haven’t found any major issues with game however there are some that you should take into consideration (cause they are super annoying ). First of all, I am so glad you fixed the firegleams however there is a new problem… Metal flowers that I have already completed now stay in the maps sometimes like firegleams used to. Secondly sometimes I lose my flying mount for no reason after teleporting to another campfire. And finally, idk if it’s a bug or not but it is impossible to get 100 % completion… the apex sentry scrounger doesn’t spawn anywhere and I have already did everything in the game and I mean everything ( even cleaning the fog everywhere, which I know wasn’t necessary but still something I did ) and I am still missing 0.98%. Considering there are 102 variants (I have seen people saying it’s 104 but I am only missing one and my stats say I got 101 ) unless the apex sentry scrounger is worth this much which I doubt cause it’s just 1 variant there is something bugged cause i have nothing else to do (besides getting all data points left which doesn’t count towards progression.

There's a couple side quests that I can think of that had issues. I don't remember they're names but there's one where you have to save some clans people that got stuck after a mudslide, which involves first destroying machines. One of the machines completely disappeared and halted progression, I had to travel out, then back again.

The other one was in a cauldron you fight a tide ripper or whatever that big loch mess monster thing is called. I was dodge rolling away from its attacks when I fell through and got stuck under the platform and couldn't get out.. had to reload from the last save and start the fight over again.

Hmm, downloading update took like 20 seconds. But 'copying the update file' took about 10 minutes. Everytime the same and i've only seen this with HFW, any other game updates lighting fast.
Does HFW have something weird in it's update process for this to happen?

@themightyant @Stuffgamer1 @TheArt

Found it. Changed it back to the “Explorer” setting in the Pathfinder section. I actually remember changing it to “Guided” when I first booted the game up, because I presumed that meant it would do it as the crow flies. Haha. My own fault I’ve been annoyed for the past 50 hours. Haha.

Thanks again for the tip!

"Fixed multiple instances of specific music tracks getting stuck and repeating."

Oh my god I hope this means I can finally continue the game cause this bug was disgusting.

After 67hrs into the game got my platinum on Monday. Finally get to start on Elden Ring

@savarunl it depends on the structure of the game itself and how the update file is packed.
This was blazing fast until some point on the ps4. The update process was then changed what probably made the update files itself smaller but copy/install process took way longer since then.
Not a major issue in my opinion.

Sometimes when I am in combat the audio of the machines and surrounding environment will mute. But Alloys breath and speaking is still audible.
I also can't activate the vista point tower in memorial grove.

Well if they haven't fixed the issue where Aloy talks non stop, I'll gladly avoid it.

Really enjoying it done most of the side content just got to the main quest all that remains & don't want it to end

I did fall through the bases floor last night & while she was endlessly falling into nothingness she said the rain feels good on my skin lol

How about fixing the black boxes glitch. The one that makes obtaining the Legendary "Wings of the Ten" Blastsling unobtainable?
I have a save now with one black box left to turn in, hoping that eventually I will ACTUALLY receive the weapon one of these times that I try to turn it in. This is a gamebreaker for me. My preferred load out utilizes the blast sling and was really looking forward to getting it. I'm 60 hours into the game and have completed the story, done the arena and rebel camps. I've gathered every other piece of gear that I wanted and this is fairly frustrating lol PLEEEEEEEEASE HEEEEEELLLLPPPP MMEEEEEEEEE!!! 🤣

I played 34 hours and loved it. Still not even halfway done with the game.
No major issues but I'm taking a break for a month or two so I can play the rest of the game with a bunch of patching done to make it an even better experience.

Anyone else not getting the trophy for upgrading the pouches ? I've upgraded them all to max level but the trophy's not unlocked

Just earned my platinum trophy last night. Loved the game and am thankful I didn't run into any of the issues listed.

@ would you kindly

Did you buy any of the food items in the game? If you haven't the option to upgrade food storage won't appear to upgrade untill you do. I ran into this issue thinking it was glitched as well.

@OMG_Waffles no I haven't but I'll do that now thanks

@Would_you_kindly

Hope it works mate! Good luck and enjoy Horizon!

I haven't played this yet, but has anyone who has played it been disappointed by it? I've seen lots of stories of people finding it a bit meh, and just more of the same.

Absolutely love the game, only have run into one issue but it's a bit of a big one although I'm not sure how common it has been with others. (Was an issue prior to update 1.08)
Gemini main story, completed it but the Sunwing override is still locked at the fabrication terminal.

@__jamiie I finished the game last night and although I enjoyed my time with it, I thought that the first game was so much better. It just felt too gamey in places and the story was a bit crap. The main antagonists were woeful, I thought.

I reported the bug awhile back which the ‘ancient relics’ quest level 10, it’s not being removed from my quest list.
I have completed it however did not receive the skill points, XP, or metal shards. It keeps trying to make me go there to the northern ancient machine site.
I have completed the quest after ancient relics, if I do return back to the northern machine site I am sometimes able to open up the hidden compartments but there is nothing inside them.

@Daleaf too many great games but I try to play one game at a time for various reasons. how's the haptic feedback and triggers in gt7?

I've been having an issue where the soundtrack and other sound effects will periodically cut out. Machine noises, the focus search sound effect, Aloy's jump and dodge roll, and the soundtrack are all things that will cut out for long periods of time, cut back in for a moment, and vanish again.
