The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered just received the new 1.6 patch which includes several minor bug fixes along with performance and stability improvements. And though the fixes are relatively smaller, they can still make noticable improvements in your overall experience with The Last of Us Part 2 on the PC, besides the latest patch also shows the devs’ sheer attention and care towards making the game as polished as possible in every way, which is definitely great for all players.
Patch 1.6 includes some control related fixes for the game where typing codes for in-game safes and vaults with a Mouse and a Keyboard would sometimes cause a bug leading to some numbers getting skipped. It also addresses an issue where playing The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered with a controller would cause a problem with the in-game bow which could be fired by accident if the player lets go of the trigger slowly.
There’s also some graphics related fixes in the new patch including removal of jagged lines that showed up sometimes when Screen Space Shadows is enabled, plus fixes for flickering textures in some areas such as the ground inside the aquarium and more.
Check out the complete patch notes of the new update below:
