As we reported yesterday, The Last of Us Part 1 hasnāt had the smoothest of ports to PC. Users have reported assorted crashes and bugs, while the gameās overall verdict on Steam currently sits at an ignominious Mostly Negative. Thanks to Gamespot, though, we have what is arguably the most bizarre glitch weāve seen emerge from the PC port so far. In an otherwise familar early scene from The Last of Us Part 1's campaign, we see lead characters Joel and Ellie engaged in conversation with Marlene and Tess about weapons and militia groups. As the scene progresses, though, each character becomes more and more drenched in water ā a situation made all the more bizarre because everyone delivers their lines with the usual gravitas.
Itās a scene that immediately made us think of the 1980 comedy, Airplane! and its profusely sweating pilot: Itās one of several amusing and strange glitches reported in the PC port so far ā our previous favourite was its gratuitously hairy Joel and his gigantic eyebrows. Joking aside, itās still a wonder just how a high-profile game like The Last of Us could be botched so badly. Developer Naughty Dog has responded to the gameās bugs, though, and has already released a patch that should fix some of its performance issues. āA new hotfix for The Last of Us Part I is now live,ā reads a 30 March update on the developerās site. āThis update primarily focuses on stability and performance improvements and other smaller improvements. āThe team is closely watching player reports and actively working on a patch with more bugfixes, to be released soon.ā It doesnāt say anything specifically in there about the sweating, so weāll have to wait and see whether thatās fixed. If The Last of Usā TV adaptation doesnāt make at least a passing nod to this glitch in its second season, then weāll be quite disappointed, frankly.this is one of the funniest bugs i've ever seen: The Last of Us (PC port) characters "get wet during a cutscene for no reason" š¦šhttps://t.co/tlI4F51a0q pic.twitter.com/suq5aD2FOq
