I hope this helps you. I logged 3 hours on steam deck and will be receiving a refund. I think Valve is aware of the issues and will work with their customers. Worth a shot. Hope you have a good day.
@@gowildcats096259 I would hope so. Valve's refund policy is fairly generous. 2 hours of solid gameplay is enough time to make a verdict on whether you want to keep a game or not, but when it can take half of that time sitting and waiting for the game to finish loading and the other half is spent probably messing around with settings to get it into a playable experience for your rig...yeah.
Someone should sue Sony for this. I mean you would think the reputation iron galaxy has that they wouldn’t go with this but it’s completely unacceptable. Give TLOU pc the same treatment cyberpunk had
@Kickass I've been telling people when it comes to optimisation and quality people shouldn't go to Sony for that lol. Your purely paying for their brand name rather than anything else.
I don't have a top tier PC but I can run all games at like a normal setting, was really surprised when I ran this and at the first explosion I saw it in pixels like it was fucking Doom 1 :D
It’s really that badly optimized I’m not surprised Sony sucks ass at porting games NieR auto,horizon,final fantasy 7 remake i can keep going so I’m not that shocked
@@MikeTheGreek Yeah lol, all those comments on previous TLOU Part 1 PC trailers saying "Sony is the best at making PC ports" aged like fine milk. Nixxes is still good tho I guess
Yikes, you'd think this would be their most optimized pc port out of all of them and after playing through Days Gone and Spider-Man i was convinced this was going to perform even better due to it's international success.
@@clukskin never played it on pc but i'm sure it runs perfectly fine, it's not a very demanding game but then again TLOU shouldn't be as demanding as it is either.
I have a laptop rtx 3070 140W with i7 11th gen and 32 GB RAM. I am getting almost 60 fps at 1440p DLSS Quality with high settings (high for all the textures too! I am going over the 8GB VRAM limit) But still, there are barely any issues on my system. I DIDN'T SKIP THE SHADER COMPILATION. It took almost 45 mins for me. People have really lost it. They are trying to hit ultra with 3060 at 1440 which is not possible. The specs have clearly mentioned the demands too. It's hard to believe how stupid this thing has become.
Bought a ps4 in 2017 so I could play this and some other exclusives, cracking game but 9 years on PC I can’t aim at all with a controller anymore. Such a shame was looking forward to this with KBM
yeah, I buy consoles except ps5 cause it's always runs out in my place and if it's available the price is abnormal, I buy a decent pc for this game so I can aim better tho (funny things for me as a failed controller aim person) but sadly this game is make me sad when they port it on PC
Really good review. I was one of the lucky ones who haven't had any issues, but I really hope it's fixed for everyone else soon. This is a massively popular game, and all of the negative reviews are almost exclusively because of performance issues. The game, it's story and its mechanics is still really really good. The port is by the time of writing really poor. My best advice would be to wait a little. The game and the remake is worth the cost, but only when it works.
@Wheeljack hey can I ask you something? The last of us has like part 1 which is the full first game and then it goes to part 2 which is the second game? Or the first game I'd divided in 2 parts?
@@HazardousJohn1 Historically they are two games, originally released 7 years apart, but with the remake, I think Part I and Part II can be treated like one large story divided into two parts... If that made any sense?
He earned a Pizza for that alone. Imagine buying a steamdeck and wanting to play this game at launch.. The hard GPU lock is classic AMD/ATI crap driver problems.
Releases like this one is the reason why I wait now more than ever before for sales or discounts for games. The poor release state of a lot of games (that are amazing) is abysmal. I recommend to you guys to do the same.Yes I hate waiting and not being able to play the game day one, BUT I prefer save some money than paying 60-70 bucks to a game that I will wait months anyway to be able to play properly. p.s. The video is great as always!! 😁
Yeah man the last time i bought a game fresh of the shelve was ghost recon breakpoint. Now i always wait for the "special offers" or black friday specials
accurate review. A tip for some people. The lighting is what makes the game look up to date as far as graphics. So, for lower end systems you can turn the lighting up while keeping the other options down and the games looks great and runs smooth. And wait 20 minutes for those shaders of course. I have ryzen 5- 6 cores and nvidia GTX 1650 4GRAM, 32 Gb ram and this game eats every resource.
I've broke my rule of wait 6 months or more before buying a game...Cyberpunk. I've learned my lesson. We just live in a reality where buying any software it is a good idea to wait until they get the bugs worked out. And this comes from a 15 year software designer. My experience makes me a little more understanding with developers but there comes a point when it is just ridiculous.
I always wait for sales, but got this one for free with a new AMD card. Works extremely well for me, 7900 XTX might be the only card it is optimized for
While their are instances were I do hold the devs accountable, I have a hard time believing they like the state of the projects they work on (when they release) often the suits have a deadline and they have zero choice in the matter. Smaller studios obviously have a lot more wiggle room, but the mega studios have dates and deadlines. Those need to go out the window. It needs to be AS LONG as it takes to get the project SOLID.
I’ve been waiting years for this to come out on PC so I’m still playing it. A little stutters here and there but really not that bad. No crashes or anything but I just messed with all the settings till it got the best I could do.
I'm actually gaming from the very first start of gaming. I was about 25 years ... I'm 60 years old now. And still developers manage to put games on the market that are not finished yet (and they know it) or are full of bugs. Ruining or damaging their own reputation as a developer. It's amazing. Thanks for the review, have to wait a while before I buy this game for my PC.
what do you mean still? I think this is a pretty recent phenomenon. With everyone having access to the internet and OTA patches, I think companies started focusing on releasing the game ASAP and fixing it later. Whereas in the yesteryears, the launch product is the final product. They can't tinker around with it.
@@bunnybag What are you talking about? In the early days I have had multiple games that were released and soon after you could download the fix. The financial sponsors pressed those creative teams to release it ASAP and fix it later. The result is the same. Releasing games that are not finished.
I mean the main problem is that it doesn't actually end up harming them at all in the end because gamers still eat up their slop after a few patches despite that still kinda supporting the terrible business practices. If the game is playable in two weeks after a patch, wait two weeks to release it.
But 90% of games will be fine after a few patches, well some maybe needs a bit more, haha... Dont worry, we will end up with a decent, if not great running game i am sure ;)
I had to wait an hour and half for the shaders to compile, but once I finished, my 3090 ran it 70-90 FPS 1440p, though I did reach areas of stuttering but not often. I am not having the same issues I am seeing people complain about. Load times are an issue though
5950x + rtx 3090 + 64 gb ram running at 1440p, I turned off motion blur and max out the FOV and all the other settings, and I get around 70-110 fps, sometimes hitting around 120 fps. So I capped my fps to 120. It only crashed on me once so far. The loading time is painfully long (I stored the game on a 1 tb 980 pro ssd), especially the first time.
It's funny how you "casually" mention you gotta wait an hour and a half to play the game. If I pay 60 bucks for a PC port for game that's been out for years I'ma gonna take issue with that. MASSIVE ISSUE! Shees!
Unless Naughty Dog take it back in-house and fix it themselves, it won't get fixed. Iron Galaxy did this port, and they are contracted. Their contract will be to add limited post release support just like every other game they port, and every other game they port follows the same pattern of around 4 updates that claim to fix things, people complaining that the update changes nothing, subsequent updates get less and less features, and then they just stop. This is because the contract has ended and they are working on their next game. Virtuos are the same sort of company and I think the Outer Worlds recent release will not get fixed. They also did Horizon Zero Dawn which was a mess on PC and Guerilla Games had to take it back in-house to fix it. Iron Galaxy did Unchartered collection on PC... 4 updates, all progressively got smaller and support just stopped. It still has problems which could be fixed with another update, buuuuuut their contract finished so that update never came! They did the PC port of Batman: Arkham Knight which we all know was horrific on release, and Rocksteady had to assign a team to work with Iron Galaxy to fix it. There's a pattern here... EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaannnnddd... Naughty Dog have assigned a team to work with Iron Galaxy to fix the game. There it is.
Lmao its just funny that modders will probably do better at fixing things than the devs themselves truly tells us the devs really don't give a damn about the game
@dark castle I'd wait until they patch the game before making assumptions like that. This isn't a bethesda game, I think it's more probable that Naughty Dog will patch the game.
Not sure what kinda mods you'd be excited for in a game like this? Retextures are like the only mods I could see coming. I guess if we're real lucky there could be a first person mod (even though the game is 100% designed for 3rd person, Id def wanna try out 1st person just for the sake of it), but thats somewhat doubtful, and apart from that idk what anyone could really mod in.
Patch this morning fixed my crashes. Still some frame drops tho and significantly dropped settings. Setup is: I99900kf 3090 founders 32gb ram Installed on sata ssd. Playing at 4k 60 with dlss balanced. So if I'm struggling I can only imagine everyone else.
K to make a looooooong story short I was having the same issues that are stated here. The one thing I noticed was some of the voice audio was dropping out during cut scenes. I have a creative labs USB X4 sound box. So I decided to to shut off the software for that and run my boom 3D sound software with it and all the issues went away. Now I do a lot of audio work so that's why I have a variety of audio software. So it looks like at least some of the issue maybe sound related, maybe. I hope this might help someone, so good luck out there and this is a very good game when it runs right.
Yep, I read a reddit post where someone noticed that switching from 3d audio to stereo solves most of the issues. I tried it for myself, and the game actually runs without stuttering. Apparently this works for most people
This is how I felt playing High on Life. There was just so much stuttering, assets not loading, dialogue that plays when you’re not nearby, I even had a level where enemies spawn in wave but they literally didn’t stop spawning for like an hour and I just kept killing them before I realized the level wasn’t supposed to be that long lol. I just gave up and then one day I tried to play again and suddenly it ran fine. I gaslit myself into thinking my pc was the problem until I read the patch notes
Yeah that ran like shit on my PC too. I heard from other reviewers that the port was fine so I thought it was my rig. Good to see I wasn't the only one who had those problems.
Ah I posted a pic of really low resolution textures on the Reddit, asking if anyone else noticed it and I only got one person saying yes, so I also thought it was my rig. Only played it for a few days though, I should go back to it now!
Maybe I was one of the lucky ones. The game took around 25 minutes for building shaders. Also, I didn't encounter any kind of stuttering considering my build isn't one of the best. I did see people commenting that the game runs better on pci gen4 instead of gen3 and I can confirm that as well. I get around 90 fps on 1080p high resolution and 115 fps with dlss ON. i5-12400f and rtx 4060. This game is one of the best and I am a fan of the story driven single game genre. Tomb Raider and Uncharted lovers will love this game
I was hoping we'd talk about this. I needed to hear your guys opinion on this. STEAM PLAYERS HAVE BEEN DESTROYING THE REVIEWS (as in bad reviews are going rampant, mostly negative). I did not think it would come out in this state.
@@victordejesus4818 any attempt to criticize it for the crashes bugs glitches and stuttering is met with "it's your fault. Your an -ist" or just plain "Review bombing"
Steam reviews aren't a good way to measure if the game is good or bad. It's mostly biased people or entitled people with 5k rigs who are expecting 300fps on 4k and ultra settings. Personally i only had 1 crash and im getting stable 60fps on ultra settings with a RTX 3060
I love the moment I popped this bad boy up on my steamdeck and I had to wait a whole ass hour for the shaders to figure it out. I hope to God this gets fixed soon and by naughty dog not their port team cuz yeesh
Better to pre-compile the shaders than to let it stutter even worse. Let's not complain about pre-compilation when so many devs are ignoring it entirely and just leaving their games to stutter. Clearly this game has other issues as well though.
A tip, if you launch the game for the first time let it build shaders. If you start playing while building shaders it is most likely to crash. I have 10 hours on this game so far and it's running smooth for me
you have to use cryoutilities to fix the issue on steam deck. and set it to whatever default is for it on the desktop side. then restart and profit. and as far as the playing it crappy on desktop.. you have to let the shaders finish, period. dont skip at all. it will complete. it completed for me in 15mins. on ssd, with 32gb ram and a i9-9900kf, 2080ti, prebuilt msi desktop. and it runs at 4k resolution, with dlss on quality, and all settings on high at solid 60fps. but everyones mileage and setups may vary.
Everything you've mentioned is spot on and I have a 4070ti and hardware to match it and I still get everything you've mentioned. So sad its super rare that games on release these days are good on release.
I have played about 5hrs of this game, and everything has been flawless so far with all settings at high/ultra. What updates/fixes are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Sony to buy you a better PC?
@@JohnSmith-qq7yw I'm talking about the performance issues said at the start of the video. If you have a good pc it can still mean a game has bad optimization. In this case, Gameranx uses PCs fitted with an RTX 3090 and if they can afford that GPU they would have a good SSD as well
@@JohnSmith-qq7yw Just because you haven't had any issues doesn't mean it's because they have a shitty PC. Reviews so far have been mostly negative because the game runs poorly. Even in the video they say they've had issues and they review games for a living so I assume they have pretty good PCs.
On the bright side, this is the 1st PC game where Dualsense's Adaptive triggers and haptics work wirelessly! If your Dualsense is not connected with a cable, in the menu options - it says haptics and trigger effects are disabled but in the game it's working.
Had the crashing issue every 20 minutes or so of gameplay and my 3080 crashed several times as well. Set the frame rate to a max of 60 and played the entire game from start to finish with all settings to max with zero issues!
I just finished the game without any issues, man it worked like a charm in mid settings, no crashes, no bugs it was a good game, glad that I did not watched the story in tv series or youtube
I have a ryzen 7 5800x, and a rtx 3060 TI, and i play the game on mostly high settings, with 1080p, and i get a sturdy 60 fps most of the time. I guess i was one of the lucky few.
I love how something can go to mostly negative on steam without much effort nowadays, Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens Colonial Marines are sitting at a 59 and 60% but Destiny 2 Lightfall and The Last of Us Remake at 33 and 36%, something about that just feels wrong despite the 14th crash I've had today
steams refund policy is going to have change hugely if all games are going to compile shaders before you can play them. you cant even refund tlou part 1 after trying it since it wasted 3/4s of your two hours just doing the shaders. Hogwarts Legacy was similar, that first shader compilation was 45 minutes for me and it still takes 3-5 minutes every launch to do the same process.
@@mrbobgamingmemes9558 i mean the general rule of thumb for me is to always wait a few months. there have been exceptions, but pc ports have been shit at launch for at least a decade now so why people are still so surprised and angry when performance is poor is beyond me. PCs have too wide a variety in terms of hardware users could be using, that its no wonder a game made for two or three specific hardware configurations (the consoles) doesnt work well at launch. not to mention the unoptimized code that results when 100-plus people code on the same project. errors and mistakes are inherent.
@@quinnmarchese6313 why people surprised atleast on this game? Cus this game have major vram issues that it use absurd amount of gpu vram way higher than 99,9999% every other games with same exact graphics preset and resolution. not only vram issues, this game also have insanely long shader loading that take up to an hour to complete, which is 99,999999% not happening on every other games . both Spiderman, god of war, and horizon zero dawn run fine
Revert nvidia drivers to 528.49, disable mouse raw input ingame (this fixes my stuttering). Now the game only crashes when a new cutscene starts. Restart game and the cutscene plays fine, and you can continue. Dont push settings too much or the game will crash because not enough vram. Other than that i am having a blast 👍
Trick for the shaders.. disable your internet connection. Plug that cable out or turn off wifi completely. For me it made a night and day diff. No ideea why, but it moved waaaay faster.
Dude honestly, I played the original last of us before I even knew there were such things as online reviews, before Netflix even existed, and I loved it so much then and had no idea how much other people felt the same way. I've been waiting since then to play on PC and honestly, I'm going to buy it still... I'll wait for a discount but I'm going to buy it, bugs or not
TIP For TLOU to semi fix micro stuters, just turn ur framerate cap below your avg frames, if you get sometimes around 100, cap it to 85 etc. It helps your gpu catch up with how consistently it sends frame times. Im not a scxientist, it just worked for me
Bought the full version with Left Behind for £39.99 here in UK on CDKeys. Shaders took 25 mins to compile luckily but have not started the game yet as I have watched many reviews about the poor performance. Running a 105W RTX 3060 laptop with i7 10870H, 16GB DDR4 RAM, only went into settings so far to see it absolutely chewing up and spitting out my 6GB VRAM, normally I can play AAA titles in high settings. Will keep the game but waiting for it to be fully optimised and polished up so I can fully enjoy it again when first time playing.
It's excellent, in 8 hours, I haven't had a single problem. No crashes, no glitches, no bugs, no stuttering. Max graphics, buttery smooth. It is well worth buying. My System: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor ~3,7GHz GPU: AMD Radeon RX6700 XT 12 GB VRAM RAM: 32 GB DDR4 No idea why others are having such a bad time.
took me 3 and a half hours for building shaders.......after that....PERFECT...not even a single crash or lag or problem for the past 4 days........WAIT FOR BUILDING SHADERS
Thanks for the review. In my case I got some money because of a heavy accident a few years back so bought a rtx 4080, 32gb vram, i7 13700k and ssd etc. So for me it runs smooth as heck at 1440p and everything ultra. I am one of those who has been waiting for forever and managed to avoid spoilers :)
What happened to me, and I dont know if someone else had the same problem, is that Im playing and out of nowhere the game freezes and says "WAIT" in the middle of the screen. I have a i7 10th Gen. 16 gbs ram, 2 SSD and a rtx 3070.
I am able to play this on a gtx 1650 with textures set to low and everything else on medium, FSR on performance, and a 60 fps cap at 1080p. Even on low textures, it takes nearly 6 gigs of VRAM (which is over my GPU's vram which is 4 gigs and the vram bar is yellow) which is ridiculous for how bad the textures look on low. So yeah, it's not very well optimized but it is still playable, if you're not bothered by the bad textures.
Exactly. I got 3050ti 95w i5 11400h 16GB Legion 5, I played and beat rdr2 at 4k/high and used to get stable 60fps with DLSS Performance, +40fps with DLSS Quality enabled at 4k and had zero issues. Days gone at 4k/high I got something between 45fps and 55fps at 4k/high settings, even GOW 2018 at 4k/high and I got average 50fps with DLSS Quality enabled and the quality of these game was gorgeous and the amount of the vram that was taken in these three games was totally reasonable and DLSS worked in those games the same way it works in many modern games and saves life for me who got only 4GB vram, like Hogwart Legacy that was recently released, I tested it today and I get 50fps average at 4k/high with DLSS Quality enabled. The funny and F-up thing is that this Goddamn game I mean the last of us is that poorly optimized to make my laptop struggle even at 1440p, how ironic! At 1440p/texture settings=high/ the rest are all medium , I barely get +35fps with fsr set to balanced(couldn't find DLSS in this game tho), at first it crashed a couple times but then no crashes at all , the game runs okay at 1440p/high+medium with 35fps average(sometimes drops down to 27fps in intensive areas), sure, it looks nice at high texture and 2k and is smooth but the amount of vram that it takes is irrational and insane!
Man, I pre-ordered this and was let down when I saw the overwhelming negative steam reviews. I refunded it for the time being. Jake, you hit the nail on the head; I have been waiting to play this title for a LONG time and was so stoked to play it… Damn shame.
Haven't played since the patch came out but I had no crashes. A few stutters with mouse input but overall it was pretty good, shaders took about 30 minutes Managed 120fps @1080p high settings On a 3080, i7 12700, 32 GB ram and Samsung 970 Evo plus SSD
Running it on a ryzen 9 3900x, 64gb 3600 ddr4 ram, rtx 3090. Settings at 4k, and everything maxed out, but with dlss quality on, running smoothly between 60 and 110 fps. Initital shader compiling took about 25 minutes, closed the game once it was finished, started it up again and haven't come across any issue as of yet.
Hey falcon, I'm one of those gamers you've mentioned. I have been waiting for The Last of Us to come to PC for SO LONG. Now that it's finally here, I can't wait to play it. Yet, I am quite apprehensive because of the recent trends of game releases. It's why I chose to watch your video now. I hope the devs will fix/patch the game soon, so I can get it eventually.
Nobody is missing out. They've already released 2 patches since yesterday's launch. Give it a bit and it'll be all good. Don't ever preorder a PC game and don't buy anything for PC until you've watched a performance review. The only way this situation will change is if people stop buying until it's ready. Also, I was able to get it working just fine by changing a few NVCP profile settings. Setting Shader Cache size to "unlimited", setting NVCP frame limit to 60, in-game frame rate to unlimited and turning environment textures down and the distance detail settings down a bit resolved all my problems. I assume these settings will work for the majority of players, proportional to he system they have and the resolution they're running at. I have my gaming PC connected to a TV so if the frame rate isn't a solid 60fps, it turns into a stuttering/tearing mess and I was able to get solid 60 @4k with DLSS set to quality no problem on my 3080ti system and my sons older 2060 9600k system is running just fine at 60pfs @1080p with DLSS set to quality as well with the exact same settings. It took about an hour to download the shaders and another 20 min to figure out the fixes.
ryzen 5 5700g 32gb 3700mhz ddr4 ram, 3060ti not overclocked or anything, I'm running the game at high settings medium/high textures running the gpu at like 122% vram usage. my 1% dips don't hit 40fps and im sticking around 80fps with the nvidia DLSS Quality settings. I'm happy with the performance my dated hardware seems to be getting before any patches.
I have 15 hours of play time for it rn, and I’ve maybe played like 3 or 4 hours of the game, I also wanted to rush through the game so I could do new game plus and I still haven’t finished it yet just bc it’s play then crash, then reboot it back up, play 10 minutes, crash again
Apparently there is a false VRAM estimation in the graphics settings, showing 1.6GB used by OS + Apps. My system, before launching the game takes only 500MB out of 8GB VRAM. The interesting thing is that the 1.6 number seems to be common to any 8GB cards.
for somereason the game uses less vram when putting both character and environment textures on high and that alone will make your experience much better if you're on a "vram constrained" hardware, which i know 8gb of vram should be more than enough, but that's where we're at now, i hope this helps and try to put the game on medium settings first, with all filters active but on their lowest versions and just go from there if you gpu can handle it, running the high and ultra presets are just overkill right now. if you still haven't bought the game, don't botter at all, keep in touch with the youtubers, media, friends and when you feel confortable give it a chance.
the first time the shaders are placed take a long time,but after the first time it is the same as it used to be. I ahve no problems with this game and love it, playing with a keyboard and mouse. You need the nvidia quick patch and off you go. You also need a pretty good computer.
When I tried to play and got put in the game it gave me the basic "What settings do you wanna play on?" and I tried to adjust some settings and then I realize my mouse is moving 5 seconds in game after I move less than a second in real time so I just refunded for pending funds before 2 hours hit if you wanna get this and lags HARD then just refund and get a better game or just get your money back because it is not worth it, get the remastered ps4 version honestly.
already beat it (first day) had 14 crashes. first half of the game cutscenes would keep saying (please wait…) i finished it with another 4 windows crashes after it stopped doing that…
So, on my Ryzen 5 3600x, 24GB Ram, and RTX 2060s powered rig, I managed to play Uncharted: The last legacy, a game from 2017 by Naughty Dog as well, and God of War (2018) using ultra settings at 1080p, and getting 70+ fps average. The Last of Us, a game from 2013 that does not show any jaw-dropping graphical improvements over it's 2013 ancestor, and the aforementioned games, needs 7780mb graphics at medium settings and still manages to blow my mind with constant shader loading pauses. Even RDR2 did not need so much graphics at high settings. I don't understand why they really must make the remake so power hungry where the original was more than good enough. Just because it's 2023 and the GPU dictators need more cash?
How is it that gaming companies can still give us broken games like this? I don’t remember having any trouble with games from my childhood not working right out of the box, plug the game into the system and it ran nice and smooth. Nowadays tho it seems every other game is broken when they release them, maybe developers shouldn’t keep games so secret and let more testers test them to prevent these issues from happening. Like Cyberpunk 2077 it’s a great game but it was a 40gb update for the first couple updates. Wth man!!!
I am running an i5 13600K, 32 gig ddr4 3200mhz ram and rtx 3080. The game plays buttery smooth for me with all settings at high and 4k with dlss quality. 60fps with no dips. Delighted with the game.
I have played it with only 1 minor glitch with a ladder and 1 crash since launch with smoothe nice performance on ultra. 1440p. Ryzen 7 5800x, 32gb ram, RX 6800 16gb
Exactly, degrading the experience on other platforms to drive people to purchase your own platform with the lure of first parry exclusives, etc.... Sony is playing with fire because those hearings aren't over with yet. I'm pretty sure anyway. Microsoft will use everything it can naturally.
@@jimmythegamer2231 yea... That's my point. Sony was worried about MS releasing inferior, problematic versions of their games on Sony platforms, because that is what Sony has done with every one of their games to be released on MS platforms.
Sapphire nitro+ 6800 xt, shaders 20min, no bugs, no crash so far....bought gpu today actually, overpaid, but its ok....this is a time we live in. Hope you good people doing fine ;-)
The fact you can end up passing the 2 hour refund threshold from just waiting for shaders to finish compiling is absolutely hilarious for me. 💀
Damn that's crazy 😂
I hope this helps you. I logged 3 hours on steam deck and will be receiving a refund. I think Valve is aware of the issues and will work with their customers. Worth a shot. Hope you have a good day.
@@gowildcats096259 I would hope so. Valve's refund policy is fairly generous. 2 hours of solid gameplay is enough time to make a verdict on whether you want to keep a game or not, but when it can take half of that time sitting and waiting for the game to finish loading and the other half is spent probably messing around with settings to get it into a playable experience for your rig...yeah.
Someone should sue Sony for this. I mean you would think the reputation iron galaxy has that they wouldn’t go with this but it’s completely unacceptable. Give TLOU pc the same treatment cyberpunk had
@Kickass I've been telling people when it comes to optimisation and quality people shouldn't go to Sony for that lol. Your purely paying for their brand name rather than anything else.
Short answer: Do NOT buy this until they fix it down a month or two.
I don't have a top tier PC but I can run all games at like a normal setting, was really surprised when I ran this and at the first explosion I saw it in pixels like it was fucking Doom 1 :D

I have a laptop rtx 3070 140W with i7 11th gen and 32 GB RAM. I am getting almost 60 fps at 1440p DLSS Quality with high settings (high for all the textures too! I am going over the 8GB VRAM limit) But still, there are barely any issues on my system.
I DIDN'T SKIP THE SHADER COMPILATION. It took almost 45 mins for me. People have really lost it. They are trying to hit ultra with 3060 at 1440 which is not possible. The specs have clearly mentioned the demands too. It's hard to believe how stupid this thing has become.
This game was ported by the same team that did the Arkham Knight PC version
I'm not a PC player but I feel for my fellow players bc this is such a good game; it and the players deserve better.
Bought a ps4 in 2017 so I could play this and some other exclusives, cracking game but 9 years on PC I can’t aim at all with a controller anymore. Such a shame was looking forward to this with KBM
Playstation is trolling PC because Windows is made by Microsoft
yeah, I buy consoles except ps5 cause it's always runs out in my place and if it's available the price is abnormal, I buy a decent pc for this game so I can aim better tho (funny things for me as a failed controller aim person) but sadly this game is make me sad when they port it on PC

Really good review. I was one of the lucky ones who haven't had any issues, but I really hope it's fixed for everyone else soon. This is a massively popular game, and all of the negative reviews are almost exclusively because of performance issues. The game, it's story and its mechanics is still really really good. The port is by the time of writing really poor. My best advice would be to wait a little. The game and the remake is worth the cost, but only when it works.
Same, my hardware isn’t that good objectively but I haven’t experience the crashing issues as the others have

Releases like this one is the reason why I wait now more than ever before for sales or discounts for games. The poor release state of a lot of games (that are amazing) is abysmal. I recommend to you guys to do the same.Yes I hate waiting and not being able to play the game day one, BUT I prefer save some money than paying 60-70 bucks to a game that I will wait months anyway to be able to play properly.
p.s. The video is great as always!! 😁
What was formerly a minor annoyance with some games, is becoming major issue with each new game.

yep buying day one or pre ordering is telling companies that they get your money regardless of quality. wait, and vote with your wallet.
@Matter Horn
People have no self control at all, it's insane
accurate review. A tip for some people. The lighting is what makes the game look up to date as far as graphics. So, for lower end systems you can turn the lighting up while keeping the other options down and the games looks great and runs smooth. And wait 20 minutes for those shaders of course. I have ryzen 5- 6 cores and nvidia GTX 1650 4GRAM, 32 Gb ram and this game eats every resource.
Wait 20 min just to play a singleplayer game and still get frame drops? Uh no thanks.

I've broke my rule of wait 6 months or more before buying a game...Cyberpunk. I've learned my lesson. We just live in a reality where buying any software it is a good idea to wait until they get the bugs worked out. And this comes from a 15 year software designer. My experience makes me a little more understanding with developers but there comes a point when it is just ridiculous.
I always wait for sales, but got this one for free with a new AMD card. Works extremely well for me, 7900 XTX might be the only card it is optimized for
While their are instances were I do hold the devs accountable, I have a hard time believing they like the state of the projects they work on (when they release) often the suits have a deadline and they have zero choice in the matter. Smaller studios obviously have a lot more wiggle room, but the mega studios have dates and deadlines. Those need to go out the window. It needs to be AS LONG as it takes to get the project SOLID.
And nothing is worth 70$ especially games nowadays. There's usually a sale half a year later too or sooner thankfully

I'm actually gaming from the very first start of gaming. I was about 25 years ... I'm 60 years old now. And still developers manage to put games on the market that are not finished yet (and they know it) or are full of bugs. Ruining or damaging their own reputation as a developer. It's amazing. Thanks for the review, have to wait a while before I buy this game for my PC.
what do you mean still? I think this is a pretty recent phenomenon.
With everyone having access to the internet and OTA patches, I think companies started focusing on releasing the game ASAP and fixing it later. Whereas in the yesteryears, the launch product is the final product. They can't tinker around with it.
@@bunnybag What are you talking about? In the early days I have had multiple games that were released and soon after you could download the fix. The financial sponsors pressed those creative teams to release it ASAP and fix it later. The result is the same. Releasing games that are not finished.
I mean the main problem is that it doesn't actually end up harming them at all in the end because gamers still eat up their slop after a few patches despite that still kinda supporting the terrible business practices. If the game is playable in two weeks after a patch, wait two weeks to release it.
But 90% of games will be fine after a few patches, well some maybe needs a bit more, haha... Dont worry, we will end up with a decent, if not great running game i am sure ;)

I had to wait an hour and half for the shaders to compile, but once I finished, my 3090 ran it 70-90 FPS 1440p, though I did reach areas of stuttering but not often. I am not having the same issues I am seeing people complain about. Load times are an issue though
5950x + rtx 3090 + 64 gb ram running at 1440p, I turned off motion blur and max out the FOV and all the other settings, and I get around 70-110 fps, sometimes hitting around 120 fps. So I capped my fps to 120. It only crashed on me once so far. The loading time is painfully long (I stored the game on a 1 tb 980 pro ssd), especially the first time.
That framerate is gross for a 3090.
It's funny how you "casually" mention you gotta wait an hour and a half to play the game. If I pay 60 bucks for a PC port for game that's been out for years I'ma gonna take issue with that. MASSIVE ISSUE! Shees!

Unless Naughty Dog take it back in-house and fix it themselves, it won't get fixed. Iron Galaxy did this port, and they are contracted. Their contract will be to add limited post release support just like every other game they port, and every other game they port follows the same pattern of around 4 updates that claim to fix things, people complaining that the update changes nothing, subsequent updates get less and less features, and then they just stop. This is because the contract has ended and they are working on their next game.
Virtuos are the same sort of company and I think the Outer Worlds recent release will not get fixed. They also did Horizon Zero Dawn which was a mess on PC and Guerilla Games had to take it back in-house to fix it.
Iron Galaxy did Unchartered collection on PC... 4 updates, all progressively got smaller and support just stopped. It still has problems which could be fixed with another update, buuuuuut their contract finished so that update never came! They did the PC port of Batman: Arkham Knight which we all know was horrific on release, and Rocksteady had to assign a team to work with Iron Galaxy to fix it.
There's a pattern here...
EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaannnnddd... Naughty Dog have assigned a team to work with Iron Galaxy to fix the game. There it is.
I pre bought it and yeah I’ve seen so many bugs and glitches just randomly in the middle of the game
Excited to see the mods the community makes for this game
*Excited to see the mods the community makes to fix this game
Lmao its just funny that modders will probably do better at fixing things than the devs themselves truly tells us the devs really don't give a damn about the game
@dark castle I'd wait until they patch the game before making assumptions like that. This isn't a bethesda game, I think it's more probable that Naughty Dog will patch the game.
They said that about the master chief collection on PC and no significant mods have been out for it.
Not sure what kinda mods you'd be excited for in a game like this? Retextures are like the only mods I could see coming. I guess if we're real lucky there could be a first person mod (even though the game is 100% designed for 3rd person, Id def wanna try out 1st person just for the sake of it), but thats somewhat doubtful, and apart from that idk what anyone could really mod in.

Setup is:

Plays fine now
K to make a looooooong story short I was having the same issues that are stated here. The one thing I noticed was some of the voice audio was dropping out during cut scenes. I have a creative labs USB X4 sound box. So I decided to to shut off the software for that and run my boom 3D sound software with it and all the issues went away. Now I do a lot of audio work so that's why I have a variety of audio software. So it looks like at least some of the issue maybe sound related, maybe. I hope this might help someone, so good luck out there and this is a very good game when it runs right.
Yep, I read a reddit post where someone noticed that switching from 3d audio to stereo solves most of the issues. I tried it for myself, and the game actually runs without stuttering. Apparently this works for most people
Its just vram issue according to HUB video, just reduce settings and most of the problems are gone.
Yeah the fun thing of this video is the fact that after 10 months not a lot is changed..
This is how I felt playing High on Life. There was just so much stuttering, assets not loading, dialogue that plays when you’re not nearby, I even had a level where enemies spawn in wave but they literally didn’t stop spawning for like an hour and I just kept killing them before I realized the level wasn’t supposed to be that long lol. I just gave up and then one day I tried to play again and suddenly it ran fine. I gaslit myself into thinking my pc was the problem until I read the patch notes

Maybe I was one of the lucky ones. The game took around 25 minutes for building shaders. Also, I didn't encounter any kind of stuttering considering my build isn't one of the best.

I get around 90 fps on 1080p high resolution and 115 fps with dlss ON. i5-12400f and rtx 4060. This game is one of the best and I am a fan of the story driven single game genre. Tomb Raider and Uncharted lovers will love this game

Better to pre-compile the shaders than to let it stutter even worse. Let's not complain about pre-compilation when so many devs are ignoring it entirely and just leaving their games to stutter. Clearly this game has other issues as well though.
A tip, if you launch the game for the first time let it build shaders. If you start playing while building shaders it is most likely to crash. I have 10 hours on this game so far and it's running smooth for me

I love how something can go to mostly negative on steam without much effort nowadays, Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens Colonial Marines are sitting at a 59 and 60% but Destiny 2 Lightfall and The Last of Us Remake at 33 and 36%, something about that just feels wrong despite the 14th crash I've had today
steams refund policy is going to have change hugely if all games are going to compile shaders before you can play them. you cant even refund tlou part 1 after trying it since it wasted 3/4s of your two hours just doing the shaders. Hogwarts Legacy was similar, that first shader compilation was 45 minutes for me and it still takes 3-5 minutes every launch to do the same process.
I would force close any games who have 5 minutes plus loading on freaking ssd even sata ones and try again, if still happends i just refund it
@@mrbobgamingmemes9558 i mean the general rule of thumb for me is to always wait a few months. there have been exceptions, but pc ports have been shit at launch for at least a decade now so why people are still so surprised and angry when performance is poor is beyond me. PCs have too wide a variety in terms of hardware users could be using, that its no wonder a game made for two or three specific hardware configurations (the consoles) doesnt work well at launch. not to mention the unoptimized code that results when 100-plus people code on the same project. errors and mistakes are inherent.
@@quinnmarchese6313 why people surprised atleast on this game? Cus this game have major vram issues that it use absurd amount of gpu vram way higher than 99,9999% every other games with same exact graphics preset and resolution. not only vram issues, this game also have insanely long shader loading that take up to an hour to complete, which is 99,999999% not happening on every other games . both Spiderman, god of war, and horizon zero dawn run fine
Revert nvidia drivers to 528.49, disable mouse raw input ingame (this fixes my stuttering). Now the game only crashes when a new cutscene starts. Restart game and the cutscene plays fine, and you can continue. Dont push settings too much or the game will crash because not enough vram.
Other than that i am having a blast 👍
Trick for the shaders.. disable your internet connection. Plug that cable out or turn off wifi completely. For me it made a night and day diff. No ideea why, but it moved waaaay faster.

TIP For TLOU to semi fix micro stuters, just turn ur framerate cap below your avg frames, if you get sometimes around 100, cap it to 85 etc. It helps your gpu catch up with how consistently it sends frame times. Im not a scxientist, it just worked for me
Bought the full version with Left Behind for £39.99 here in UK on CDKeys. Shaders took 25 mins to compile luckily but have not started the game yet as I have watched many reviews about the poor performance. Running a 105W RTX 3060 laptop with i7 10870H, 16GB DDR4 RAM, only went into settings so far to see it absolutely chewing up and spitting out my 6GB VRAM, normally I can play AAA titles in high settings. Will keep the game but waiting for it to be fully optimised and polished up so I can fully enjoy it again when first time playing.
As punishment for a poor port im going to pirate instead of buying. Not sorry

What a joke. Completely ruined my excitement for this game after years of being told how amazing it is. refunded.
What happened to me, and I dont know if someone else had the same problem, is that Im playing and out of nowhere the game freezes and says "WAIT" in the middle of the screen. I have a i7 10th Gen. 16 gbs ram, 2 SSD and a rtx 3070.
I am able to play this on a gtx 1650 with textures set to low and everything else on medium, FSR on performance, and a 60 fps cap at 1080p. Even on low textures, it takes nearly 6 gigs of VRAM (which is over my GPU's vram which is 4 gigs and the vram bar is yellow) which is ridiculous for how bad the textures look on low. So yeah, it's not very well optimized but it is still playable, if you're not bothered by the bad textures.
Exactly. I got 3050ti 95w i5 11400h 16GB Legion 5, I played and beat rdr2 at 4k/high and used to get stable 60fps with DLSS Performance, +40fps with DLSS Quality enabled at 4k and had zero issues. Days gone at 4k/high I got something between 45fps and 55fps at 4k/high settings, even GOW 2018 at 4k/high and I got average 50fps with DLSS Quality enabled and the quality of these game was gorgeous and the amount of the vram that was taken in these three games was totally reasonable and DLSS worked in those games the same way it works in many modern games and saves life for me who got only 4GB vram, like Hogwart Legacy that was recently released, I tested it today and I get 50fps average at 4k/high with DLSS Quality enabled. The funny and F-up thing is that this Goddamn game I mean the last of us is that poorly optimized to make my laptop struggle even at 1440p, how ironic! At 1440p/texture settings=high/ the rest are all medium , I barely get +35fps with fsr set to balanced(couldn't find DLSS in this game tho), at first it crashed a couple times but then no crashes at all , the game runs okay at 1440p/high+medium with 35fps average(sometimes drops down to 27fps in intensive areas), sure, it looks nice at high texture and 2k and is smooth but the amount of vram that it takes is irrational and insane!
Man, I pre-ordered this and was let down when I saw the overwhelming negative steam reviews. I refunded it for the time being. Jake, you hit the nail on the head; I have been waiting to play this title for a LONG time and was so stoked to play it…

Initital shader compiling took about 25 minutes, closed the game once it was finished, started it up again and haven't come across any issue as of yet.
Hey falcon, I'm one of those gamers you've mentioned. I have been waiting for The Last of Us to come to PC for SO LONG. Now that it's finally here, I can't wait to play it. Yet, I am quite apprehensive because of the recent trends of game releases. It's why I chose to watch your video now. I hope the devs will fix/patch the game soon, so I can get it eventually.
funny of this game bad port coming from sony who said that microsoft could release a bad port of call of duty for their playstation
2023 is the year of the WORST PC PORTS like EVER 🤣💀
Paul Orter: "This isn't ready yet."
Soph Ony: "We need this release to coincide with the TV Show."
"You travel across a post-apocalyptic United States hitting people with bricks." I would have loved to see this quote on the game box somewhere lol.
Finally! Will get to play it on pc❤
Nobody is missing out. They've already released 2 patches since yesterday's launch. Give it a bit and it'll be all good. Don't ever preorder a PC game and don't buy anything for PC until you've watched a performance review. The only way this situation will change is if people stop buying until it's ready. Also, I was able to get it working just fine by changing a few NVCP profile settings. Setting Shader Cache size to "unlimited", setting NVCP frame limit to 60, in-game frame rate to unlimited and turning environment textures down and the distance detail settings down a bit resolved all my problems. I assume these settings will work for the majority of players, proportional to he system they have and the resolution they're running at. I have my gaming PC connected to a TV so if the frame rate isn't a solid 60fps, it turns into a stuttering/tearing mess and I was able to get solid 60 @4k with DLSS set to quality no problem on my 3080ti system and my sons older 2060 9600k system is running just fine at 60pfs @1080p with DLSS set to quality as well with the exact same settings. It took about an hour to download the shaders and another 20 min to figure out the fixes.
After watching this I love my PS even more, I stopped playing on PC a year ago
Jake is one of the most lenient, fair reviewers out there. When he ain’t happy you know it’s shite 😂
ryzen 5 5700g 32gb 3700mhz ddr4 ram, 3060ti not overclocked or anything, I'm running the game at high settings medium/high textures running the gpu at like 122% vram usage. my 1% dips don't hit 40fps and im sticking around 80fps with the nvidia DLSS Quality settings. I'm happy with the performance my dated hardware seems to be getting before any patches.
I have 15 hours of play time for it rn, and I’ve maybe played like 3 or 4 hours of the game, I also wanted to rush through the game so I could do new game plus and I still haven’t finished it yet just bc it’s play then crash, then reboot it back up, play 10 minutes, crash again
Apparently there is a false VRAM estimation in the graphics settings, showing 1.6GB used by OS + Apps. My system, before launching the game takes only 500MB out of 8GB VRAM. The interesting thing is that the 1.6 number seems to be common to any 8GB cards.
The stuttering it’s supposed to be the shaders compiling, but the game let’s you play before they do, if you wait it should be just fine.
for somereason the game uses less vram when putting both character and environment textures on high and that alone will
make your experience much better if you're on a "vram constrained" hardware, which i know 8gb of vram should be more than enough,
but that's where we're at now, i hope this helps and try to put the game on medium settings first, with all filters active but on their lowest versions and just go
from there if you gpu can handle it, running the high and ultra presets are just overkill right now.
if you still haven't bought the game, don't botter at all, keep in touch with the youtubers, media, friends and when you feel confortable give it a chance.
Only glich was a sticky raft in the hotel that needed a restart
the first time the shaders are placed take a long time,but after the first time it is the same as it used to be. I ahve no problems with this game and love it, playing with a keyboard and mouse. You need the nvidia quick patch and off you go. You also need a pretty good computer.
Accurate and to the point. Are we getting a Crime Boss before you buy?
I’ve had no issues with frame rates completely fine for me, I can see the rainbow texture glitches in 120fps. How tf do I fix
the fitgirl repack works better than the original release
I want to buy this on Steam but after your review I think I will wait.
I'm doing alright 1080p medium, with rtx 2060 12gb version. Lucky me I guess.
CD Projekt Red mess up The Witcher 3 Update with still no adequate fixes in sight and now this. What are these studios thinking?
Works well on my setup - 12900k and evga 3090, ddr5 ram. The shaders did take forever to load up even though I'm using an ssd as well.
Can’t believe that there would be a day where I downgraded my 3070ti to a 3060 just for the vram so that I wouldn’t get crashes…
When I tried to play and got put in the game it gave me the basic "What settings do you wanna play on?" and I tried to adjust some settings and then I realize my mouse is moving 5 seconds in game after I move less than a second in real time so I just refunded for pending funds before 2 hours hit if you wanna get this and lags HARD then just refund and get a better game or just get your money back because it is not worth it, get the remastered ps4 version honestly.
You can either try and take a chance with the cracked version or wait for the Pay version to be fixed
already beat it (first day) had 14 crashes. first half of the game cutscenes would keep saying (please wait…) i finished it with another 4 windows crashes after it stopped doing that…
a long time?!!! THE FOKING THE LONGEST ONE !!! I have waited 5 years since I knew about this game!!!!!!!
worked fine for me on a 2070 nonsuper paired with a i9 9900k for some reason
So, on my Ryzen 5 3600x, 24GB Ram, and RTX 2060s powered rig, I managed to play Uncharted: The last legacy, a game from 2017 by Naughty Dog as well, and God of War (2018) using ultra settings at 1080p, and getting 70+ fps average. The Last of Us, a game from 2013 that does not show any jaw-dropping graphical improvements over it's 2013 ancestor, and the aforementioned games, needs 7780mb graphics at medium settings and still manages to blow my mind with constant shader loading pauses. Even RDR2 did not need so much graphics at high settings. I don't understand why they really must make the remake so power hungry where the original was more than good enough. Just because it's 2023 and the GPU dictators need more cash?
How is it that gaming companies can still give us broken games like this? I don’t remember having any trouble with games from my childhood not working right out of the box, plug the game into the system and it ran nice and smooth. Nowadays tho it seems every other game is broken when they release them, maybe developers shouldn’t keep games so secret and let more testers test them to prevent these issues from happening. Like Cyberpunk 2077 it’s a great game but it was a 40gb update for the first couple updates. Wth man!!!
I am running an i5 13600K, 32 gig ddr4 3200mhz ram and rtx 3080. The game plays buttery smooth for me with all settings at high and 4k with dlss quality. 60fps with no dips. Delighted with the game.
I have played it with only 1 minor glitch with a ladder and 1 crash since launch with smoothe nice performance on ultra. 1440p. Ryzen 7 5800x, 32gb ram, RX 6800 16gb
Isn't this what Sony was scared of Microsoft doing? Is that not a great indication of why Sony had that fear?
Exactly, degrading the experience on other platforms to drive people to purchase your own platform with the lure of first parry exclusives, etc....
Sony is playing with fire because those hearings aren't over with yet. I'm pretty sure anyway. Microsoft will use everything it can naturally.
Microsoft didn't do this lmao, Sony did it to themselves.
@@jimmythegamer2231 yea... That's my point. Sony was worried about MS releasing inferior, problematic versions of their games on Sony platforms, because that is what Sony has done with every one of their games to be released on MS platforms.
Sapphire nitro+ 6800 xt, shaders 20min, no bugs, no crash so far....bought gpu today actually, overpaid, but its ok....this is a time we live in. Hope you good people doing fine ;-)
i7 11700, 3090 and 64 gigs of ram - 40 min shaders and zero crashes on the first playthrough...awesome game!
