The Final of Us on Steam lastly will get its first large patch, but it surely nonetheless has the jitters

The primary full-on patch for The Final of Us Half 1 on Steam is reside, and as is normally the case with this stuff, the early outcomes appear blended: Some gamers are saying the update has dramatically improved the game, whereas others are nonetheless combating poor efficiency and crashes.

It added that it’s “persevering with to observe and examine participant reviews, and can hold you up to date on future enhancements and patches, together with a mouse jitters repair.”

As a result of, sadly, the “jitters” situation just isn’t addressed on this patch. Naughty Canine had supposed to deal with the issue in a hotfix, however stated earlier this week that it needed to delay the repair as a result of it prompted “surprising points” elsewhere. Mouse and digicam jitters “for some gamers, relying on {hardware} and show settings,” stays in The Final of Us Half 1’s recognized points listing.

The patch does promise to enhance texture streaming to scale back CPU utilization, which was one other large downside for gamers. (On the upside, it additionally gave us Eyebrows Joel, for which we give thanks.) Some customers have reported enhancements on that entrance—AxelStu on Steam, for example, stated there’s “no extra stuttering due to CPU and that decompressing factor”—however many others aren’t seeing it.

“Sadly, I see no enchancment on my 5600X/3080 12Gb setup—the 5600X is being pounded and really hardly ever drops under 90% utilization which is insane,” Dry_Mud_8098 wrote on Reddit.

“Update made the game a lot worse for me, final performed the game within the college constructing the opposite day, went as well it up right this moment after the large update and now the bottom textures are lacking lmao it’s simply all void black,” Ghost4530 stated. “They actually outdid themselves with this one, oh and the vram utilization within the graphics menu is much more damaged now than it was earlier than. I actually want I might rollback the update to the final one, game labored a lot better for me and in addition to one bug within the intro has been comparatively bug free on my PC.”

One other person, mackzett, reported no change after the patch had put in till they rebooted—after that, they’d “higher efficiency, much less judders,” though their CPU utilization was nonetheless “actually excessive.” So, you should definitely reboot after putting in.

The underside line is that the patch goals to enhance far more than the hotfixes did, however your mileage might fluctuate—and if The Final of Us Half 1 is working properly for you already, you would possibly need to forgo this update in favor of a extra universally helpful patch that can (hopefully) be coming sooner or later.
