A few weeks after the eventful release of The Last of Us Part 1 on PC, Naughty Dog is releasing a gigantic patch that fixes many bugs and performance issues. The studio insists in particular on the framerate problems which should finally be solved.
This is certainly one of the most anticipated PC ports in video game history… which made the fiasco even more grandiloquent. Upon its release on Steam, The Last of Us Part I quickly became the subject of jokes of all kinds, as the game was riddled with bugs and performance problems. In the days that followed, Naughty Dog redoubled its efforts, regularly releasing patches to address issues noted by players one by one.
Yesterday, the studio deployed the biggest patch to date for the game. Update 1.0.4 is indeed massive: 25 GB of data, just that. And for good reason: the release note is just as substantial, given all the problems that this patch fixes. On the menu, therefore, optimizations of CPU and GPU usage, crash removals, texture improvements, and many other things.
