Naughty Dog has released its first patch for the troubled PC port of The Last of Us Part 1. The hotfix addresses "several performance and hitch-related issues," according to the developer.
In addition to remedying some of its performance woes, The Last of Us Part 1 v1.0.1.5 adds "extra crash diagnostic information to assist in investigating shader building related crashes and other common reported stability issues", according to Naughty Dog.
The studio notes it is "closely watching player reports and actively working on a patch with more bugfixes, to be released soon."
The patch comes just two days after The Last of Us Part 1 was released on PC. Users have reported issues with excessive crashing and performance, specifically related to shader compiling, leading to a "mostly negative" rating on Steam with over 9,000 reviews.
The PC port was developed by Iron Galaxy, which previously released the Switch remaster of Metroid Prime and the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
The troubled PC launch has temporarily taken the wind out of the sails of a franchise that had been flying high following the release of The Last of Us Part 1 for PS5 in September and the conclusion of its HBO series earlier in March, which we called "a breathtaking adaptation" in our The Last of Us: Season 1 review.
