Remember in this week's update, Alex was going to cover the latest update to Unreal Engine 5? Well, it turned out that there were numerous issues that prevented that happening, so he executed a classic DF pivot, returning to The Last of Us Part 1 to see the extent to which Naughty Dog has 'fixed' the port.

Many patches have followed since we first looked at the game and many issues remain - particularly in terms of stutter, CPU and GPU utilisation. However, the good news is that at least the texture management problems have been comprehensively resolved and a highly respectable experience is now possible for PC users with 8GB graphics cards.

This one will go up later today, but all supporters can watch now.

The Last Of Us Part 1: Has Naughty Dog Fixed The PC Port?

One of the most disappointing PC launches of the year was the conversion of The Last of Us Part 1. Many patches have followed since we first looked at the game and many issues remain - particularly in terms of stutter, CPU and GPU utilisation. However, the good news is that at least the texture management problems have been comprehensively resolved - and a highly respectable experience is now possible for PC users with 8GB graphics cards.
