The Last of Us Remake Got Another Patch on PC [Update]
The Last of Us Part 1 has received its first patch on PC. The changes are minor, but some players report improved performance.
Naughty Dog has released another hotfix for the PC edition of The Last of Us Part 1. Changes include:
- reducing the size of the PSO cache to reduce requirements and minimize memory leaks;
- adding additional diagnostics for developer tracking purposes;
- increasing the amount of memory allocated to streaming animations to improve performance;
- fixing a bug on the first launch of the game.
The Last of Us Part 1 on PC suffers from a number of technical issues. Some of them are supposed to be removed by the first patch, which was released last night. Players do not spare comments, calling it an overdue "day-one patch".
The Last of Us patch 1.0.1.5
Yesterday, the first update for PC edition of The Last of Us Part 1 was released, which fixes some of the bugs reported by the players.
- Optimization has been improved and several issues related to game stuttering have been fixed.
- Diagnostic information about crashes has been added, which will make it easier for developers to detect the cause of problems, including with shaders.
Naughty Dog informed in the patch notes that the studio will continue to actively track user feedback, which will be used to find the causes of bugs and implement further updates. This is in line with the developers' announcement from two days ago, when they promised to support the game for a long time after release. There is no denying that patch 1.0.1.5 is only an attempt to minimize the occurrence of known problems.
Players still dissatisfied
In a thread on Reddit dedicated to the update, players express mixed feelings about the update. There was no shortage of comments that the studio had actually released a late "day-one patch" - an update that fixes some of the problems noticed by the developers even before the release.
"This is only a small day-one patch. This game will remain broken for some time to come. I'll check back in a month or two," writes Deckz
"It can be played on my 2600X / 2080 setup, but it still takes forever to load shaders!," reports Backbodydrip
The Last of Us Part 1 was released on PC on March 28. The title met with a very cold reception on Steam - only 36% of the approximately 14,000 player reviews are positive. The most repeated issue, like a mantra, are bugs. We hope that the problems of the PC version will eventually be resolved.
