As promised, Naughty Dog released a new hotfix patch for the PC version of The Last of Us Part I. Moreover, NVIDIA released a new driver. This new driver addresses some crashes on the GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs. So, if you’re owners of an RTX3070 or RTX3080, we suggest upgrading to it.
According to the release notes, the April 4th Update should fix the mouse camera stuttering issues. From the looks of it, this was due to an issue which could cause the Xbox controller stick inputs to erroneously read as zeros for brief periods of time. We’ll be sure to test the hotfix and report back.
So here is an update. The mouse camera still feels laggy and jittery, especially when playing at a higher resolution than your native one. So yeah, I wouldn’t say that this hotfix completely fixes the mouse camera issues.
And, it appears we’re right. In fact, Naughty Dog claims that this hotfix does not include the mouse camera fix. According to the devs, this fix will come out in a future patch. And, from the sounds of it, the Friday patch won’t include it.
This latest hotfix will also improve overall stability. To be honest, we never had any stability issues with the game on both of our PC systems. Still, this is great news for those that had crashes.
Naughty Dog has also stated that it will release another major patch this Friday. Unfortunately, though, the team has not shared any additional details about it.
As always, Steam will download this hotfix the next time you launch its client. For our NVIDIA readers, you can download the new driver from here. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
