Following constant reports of crashing, VRAM drain and “mostly negative” reviews from players on Steam, Naughty Dog has fast-tracked a new update.
Players on Steam quickly ran into some serious issues with the PC version of The Last of Us Part 1 when it first launched. Constant reports of crashing and terrible optimisation from the community meant that Sony and Naughty Dog needed to act quickly so as to not completely eradicate the goodwill they’d built up as a result of the HBO show. Thankfully, a new patch has been released to try and address the most pressing issues.
After addressing the concerns on Twitter yesterday, Naughty Dog has released a hotfix for The Last of Us Part 1 on PC; the details of which it explained in a forum post on its own feedback site. Update v1.0.1.5 “focuses on stability and performance improvements,” it said, alongside other smaller improvements. It then went on to say that they are either “tracking or investigating” other known issues and that the team is closely watching player reports while actively working on another patch that will provide other bug fixes.
