Now Playing: The Last of Us Part I Video Review
For those with Nvidia GPUs, if you saw crashes when loading a save file or running the game on Ultra settings, Naughty Dog has patched the bugs.
Naughty Dog fixed the issue of Joel randomly looking wet and has been steadily releasing patches, including the highly requested fix to camera jitters, since The Last of Us Part I’s PC launch.
Performance on older graphic drivers still remains a problem some players are looking for a fix to. The Last of Us Part I has steep VRAM requirements, leading to instability in PCs without top-of-the-line specs. Digital Foundry pointed out this issue in their technical analysis of the game, deeming The Last of Us Part I “effectively a beta.”
For an overview of what bugs Naughty Dog is aware of and still investigating, check out the The Last of Us Part I PC known issues page.
The Last of Us Part I 1.0.3.0 Patch Notes
Important note to Nvidia users: Please be sure to download the latest version of the GeForce Game Ready driver (531.61) here.
Added new Audio Compatibility options (Options > Audio > Compatibility) Output Mode: Adjust which sounds are played through the OS spatial sound driver. Select different settings if you experience muffled, missing, or unusually quiet audio. If you are experiencing abnormally quiet music or dialogue during cutscenes, for example, try the Spatial mode instead of the Hybrid default.Latency: Adjust the short period of delay between when a sound effect is requested and when it plays. Higher latency improves reliability of audio playback, especially on lower spec CPUs. Increase this value if you are experiencing pops, clicks, or distorted sound. Higher latencies also resolve issues with audio interfaces configured with large buffer sizes and some wireless headphones. Note: You must restart the game for this change to take effect.Updated keyboard and mouse (KBM) controls to allow players to reassign arrow keysUpdated the ‘Building Shaders %’ user interface (UI) so progress is tracked more evenlyRestored audio in the End Credits that are accessed via the main game, Left Behind, or Extras MenuFixed a crash that may occur when opening a collectible in the backpack UI then attempting to restart or quit the gameFixed a crash that may occur while sitting (for extended times) or entering into combat areasFixed an issue where texture quality in-game appears lower then the targeted quality settingFixed an issue where the player’s backpack UI could fail to render after altering Render Scale (Options > Display > Resolution Scaling > Scaling Mode > Render Scale)Fixed an issue where an enemy NPC may T-pose if Joel performs a single input quickturn while holding said enemyFixed an issue where toggling player character’s flashlight may cause the environment to visibly shift momentarilyFixed an issue where using the flashlight in darker areas may make the lighting appear corruptedFixed an issue where lighting and fog may appear lower resolution on Ultra settingsFixed an issue where VRAM usage UI did not properly update when lowering the display resolutionFixed an issue where water reflections may appear corrupted or pixelatedFixed an issue where the Quicktime Events UI prompts were not rendering on Minimum spec setupsFixed an issue where rapidly moving left and right while aiming may cause unintended camera shiftsFixed an issue where the Steam and Epic clients’ collectible tracking did not match the in-game collectible tracking, preventing achievements from unlockingFixed an issue where, if playing at a higher FPS, player animations may not play correctly[Photo Mode] Fixed an issue where the Screen Reader would not register KBM ‘Move’ and ‘Rotate’ inputs[Photo Mode] Fixed an issue where the Performance stats’ heads-up display (HUD) would still be visible after hiding the menu[Lakeside Resort, Bus Depot] Increased active loading to reduce load times during gameplay[Bill’s Town] Fixed an issue where players may lose the ability to cancel their reload while hanging in Bill’s trap[Tommy’s Dam] Fixed an issue where interacting with the Training Manual forces the player to pick up the El Diablo gun and locks camera movement[The University] Fixed an issue where, after Joel kicks the door open, the melee prompt disappears while he struggles with an enemy NPC[Lakeside Resort] Fixed an issue where a loading screen may display during combat[Lakeside Resort] Fixed an issue where player is unable to melee with fists after the David boss fight[Bus Depot] Fixed an issue where pieces of geometry would appear corrupted or explode[New Game+] Fixed an issue where New Game+ mode would be ignored during chapter selection despite being the last loaded game
