Naughty Dog has recently released a new update for The Last of Us Part 1 PC which now addresses more issues affecting audio, UI, and visuals.

The latest update, version 1.0.3.0, for The Last of Us Part 1 PC is out now. This latest update addresses more issues the game is still plagued with like audio, UI, and visual problems. It was also noted that Nvidia users should download the latest version of GeForce Game driver, version 531.61.

Check out the full patch notes below:

Added new Audio Compatibility options (Options > Audio > Compatibility)
- Output Mode: Adjust which sounds are played through the OS spatial sound driver. Select different settings if you experience muffled, missing, or unusually quiet audio. If you are experiencing abnormally quiet music or dialogue during cutscenes, for example, try the Spatial mode instead of the Hybrid default.
- Latency: Adjust the short period of delay between when a sound effect is requested and when it plays. Higher latency improves reliability of audio playback, especially on lower spec CPUs. Increase this value if you are experiencing pops, clicks, or distorted sound. Higher latencies also resolve issues with audio interfaces configured with large buffer sizes and some wireless headphones. Note: You must restart the game for this change to take effect.
