I didn't want to post this as a game bug, because I don't think it is per se, more the game "may have caused" my system to do something odd, which I fixed.
Patched last night, launched Horizons and the video went very flickery during the shader count-up.
Once that completed, the main loading screen didn't show and when it got to the main menu screen, it was only showing around the bottom quarter of the screen, very flickery again.
I checked my system (XPS 2710 with nVidia GT640M) was still using the nvidia not the onboard video. I checked dxdiag, I checked the driver, all good.
To fix it I downgraded and then reloaded the video driver and re-bound the nvidia 3D and PhysX options to the GT640M... Perfect play session SRV'ing around on a little backwater planet, found some new stuff including a small group of hangar like buildings with a power generator.
Will have to see if it still works when I get home.
