Players should keep in mind that downloading the latest patch for the game will trigger a full shader rebuild. This particular process was a source of controversy back when the game launched in March 2023.

Players had complained about significantly lengthy shader build time. While they could dive into the game before the process was completed, the experience was expectedly affected for the worse.

In my review of the game, I talked about the various issues that were present in the PC port at launch. While I was eager to try out the iconic title, the experience left a bad taste in my mouth, with screen freezes and random crashes being an ever-present companion in the early days.

The situation has changed for the better, with the developers pushing one update after the other to address the multiple issues and concerns with The Last of Us Part 1 PC port. The current list of known issues that they are actively investigating involves:

• Loading shaders takes longer than expected
• Performance and stability are degraded while shaders are loading in the background
• Older graphics drivers lead to instability and/or graphical problems
• The game may be unable to boot despite meeting the minimum system requirements
• A potential memory leak
• Mouse and camera jitter for some players, depending on hardware and display settings
• Corrupted-appearing/neon textures in-game
• Crash on boot may occur if on NVIDIA Insider graphics driver (545.37)
• If experienced, players should roll back to the latest publicly available driver (536.67), which should solve this particular crash.

The developers at Naughty Dog and Iron Galaxy have assured fans that they are keeping a keen eye on player feedback and reports as they work to resolve the aforementioned problems.
