The PC port of The Last of Us Part 1 was finally released on PC this week

It's good news for anyone who hasn’t played the game over its past three releases on PlayStaion, but the harsh truth is that, at launch at least the game is in a bad shape

At the time of this writing the post-apocalyptic game is suffering from a plethora of performance issues, stuttering, bugs and crashes

The repeated screen freezes are plaguing the player’s experience even after paying a premium price for the action-adventure title

The horror-adventure title is constantly crashing for many users

Numerous players are complaining that the game consumes far too much CPU than the GPU, and that’s why the performance is nowhere near as promised by Naughty Dog

Apparently using the mouse and keyboard together result in stutter but using a gamepad removes this

How it can be solved?

By Updating the GPU driver, Verifying Game integrity files, Uninstalling and reinstalling the game
