Horizon Forbidden West: Update 1.2.48.0 Apr. 11
🕑 Added 2024-04-13 15:52:59 +0000 UTCThe 1.2.48.0 update continues that trend, though it also manages to introduce some welcome quality-of-life improvements. Those changes are largely UI-focused, with one of them tweaking the way the Horizon Forbidden West weapon wheel behaves when playing with a mouse and keyboard. Specifically, the mouse pointer will now always start in the center of the wheel whenever the menu is opened, allowing players to build muscle memory for quick weapon swapping.
Another UI change concerns the Horizon Forbidden West skill tree, which previously ignored the Menu Hold Actions option, thus causing players to learn skills by accident when simply trying to view their information screens. This is no longer the case following the 1.2.48.0 patch. The update also addresses a bug that would reset a cleared key binding to its default value following every restart of the game. Social media reports from players suggest that this particular problem wasn't present in the day-one version of the game but was instead caused by one of its subsequent updates.
Another fix mentioned in the new changelog addresses a bug that caused the Level and XP bar to render incorrectly. Specifically, the filled portion of the bar wasn't an accurate reflection of the player's current progress toward the next level-up. The issue itself wasn't widespread, but many players who did report being affected by it claimed that they were completely unable to get rid of it even after going as far as to reinstall the game.
The new Horizon Forbidden West PC update also fixes some graphical artifacts that reportedly occurred when viewing the map, but only for users of the AMD Radeon RX 6000 GPU series. Other bug fixes and performance optimizations are also part of the package, including those meant to address stuttering in some particularly intensive scenes.
