The Last of Us Part 1 is updated again on PC and fixes many crashes. Players should now normally see the difference.
The Last of Us Part 1 has serious problems on PC, in any case many players have them and despite the latest patches, many problems remain.
Contrary to expectations, the port of Naughty Dog, one of Sony’s biggest licenses, ended in disaster. Although the franchise was on the rise, it was already catapulted by its reputation, but also fueled by the very large gain in popularity offered by the series’ explosion The last of us from HBO, streaming on Prime Video here.
Naughty Dog is aware of the issues and is working tirelessly to straighten the bar. Many patches have already been deployed since the game was released, and a new one has just been released.
Naughty Dog to save his PC game
Again, these are mostly big fixes introduced in this new PC update. In particular, we notice improvements throughout the audio part, including bug fixes and new features. Many visual issues have also been fixed, such as B. a bug that could display certain elements in low resolution even if you were playing in Ultra, graphics issues in certain situations, etc.
The user interface has also received special attention and some of its most important bugs have been fixed.
Testing over time will confirm this, but this time the experience could be significantly improved for the majority of players. As usual, we’re dumping the bulk of the patch notes shared by Naughty Dog here.
