The Horizon Zero Dawn PC port launched a few days ago and fans have been wondering about why it crashes so often – one person took a closer look, and wasn’t happy with what they found.

The news comes from Reddit<\/a>, where an anonymous programmer shared their findings after investigating the game’s “dump files.”<\/p>\n

“So, as a programmer myself, I took the liberty to investigate the dump files myself,” they wrote. “Let’s say that the result is not very… promising.”<\/p>\n

The poster goes on to include an image of a line from the game’s code, which was screenshotted at the exact point it crashed.<\/p>\n

“What this piece of code means is that the computer is trying to write the value in the right to the memory address in the left, the problem is, the memory specified doesn’t exist,” they wrote. “The program is trying to directly access address 0, this will ALWAYS crash the game, and this is also a big NO.”<\/p>\n

“I have no idea how this happened, the program having a hardcoded 0 as a memory address is clearly how poorly made this was, no well-made code (or just average really) would try to access 0 as a memory address, could’ve been a compiler bug, but I highly doubt it,” they added.<\/p>\n
