Naughty Dog and Nvidia have issued additional hotfixes for The Last of Us Part I’s PC port to rectify the bugs that affected the game after its launch. Nvidia’s hotfix driver Version 531.58 is meant to improve the game’s stability on RTX 30-series graphics cards, while Naughty Dog’s v1.0.1.7 patch notes indicate that the developers are working closely with player reports to implement further improvements and fixes. In addition to rectifying crashes, the update also resets graphics options, fixes the problem with the game not reading Xbox controller stick inputs correctly and adds new features to help diagnose issues. If the game crashes due to a GPU issue, players now have the option to utilize “additional GPU diagnostic tooling” for the next session. Although the game still has issues, Naughty Dog is working on a fix for camera jitters experienced while playing with a mouse.
