Just in time for my new playthrough, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was updated to version 1.4 today bringing with it plenty of improvements and it should work better for Steam Deck / gamepad controller players.

For the controller support they made it so Steam Input now functions correctly if a controller is connected after launching the game, and controllers connected to a Steam Deck now work as intended when using Steam Remote Play. The latter is good, because that's exactly how I was trying to play it recently and my controller was acting a bit oddly. If you're using AMD FSR or Intel XeSS for upscaling, they've also improved it to reduce ghosting on snow particles.

The full changelog:

  • Added outfit transmog functionality.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur while applying coils to weapons or outfits with mouse and keyboard.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause Concentration to activate unexpectedly.
  • Improvements to audio mix to reduce excessive reverb in specific areas.
  • Audio mix adjustments to conversation dialogue panning.
  • Various audio loudness and balance improvements.
  • Mount acceleration now works as intended, incrementally increasing speed when pressing the acceleration button.
  • Motion aiming now works as intended when riding a mount.
  • Steam Input now functions correctly if a controller is connected after launching the game.
  • Controllers connected to Steam Deck now work as intended when using Steam Remote Play.
  • The Master Vibration Intensity slider will now correctly be applied to in-game vibration when using a DualSense controller with Steam Input.
  • Fixed a bug where loading would sometimes get stuck when using the High graphics preset.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented music from playing during a scene in the ‘Deep Secrets of Earth’ quest.
  • Resolved a bug at Song's Edge that blocked players standing up from a chair when using mouse and keyboard controls.
  • Reduced ghosting on snow particles when using AMD FSR or Intel XeSS upscaling.
  • Fixed a bug where Nil would disappear after talking to him during Cause for Concern.
  • Various bug fixes related to Auto Pickup.
  • Fixes for various bugs and minor visual issues.
  • Stability improvements.

Yay! Transmog! This is an amazing update tbh. It's definitely the definitive version for me to play of Zero Dawn. Couldn't go back to the old one now.
