The PC version of "The Last of Us 2" by Shumao Club: Some areas have severe frame drops!

Recently, the well-known evaluation media Digital Foundry analyzed the PC version of "The Last of Us: Part II Remastered" and stated that this game has significantly improved compared to the previous game's "disaster" transplant on PC, but the game still has some optimization problems.

Shumao Society stated that although the transplant quality of this work is significantly better than the previous work, there are still many flaws in some aspects. When entering some new areas, you will encounter severe frame time fluctuations. Even if you run on high-end hardware, the recommended "medium picture quality" is even worse than the PS4 version in some cases.

Shumao Society mentioned that the screen space reflection showed obvious interlaced grid texture that was not available in the PS4 version, and the flashlight reflected light, subsurface scattering and other effects were also reduced.

　　In terms of hardware requirements, the official recommended configuration is RTX 3060 graphics card, which supports 1080p 60FPS operation. However, ShumaoShe found that even under the "medium picture quality" setting, the overall picture effect is slightly inferior to the PS4 version, and the frame rate performance is unstable, especially in high-load areas. The game's optimization problem still affects the overall experience.

In addition, although "The Last of Us: Replica" was certified by Steam Deck when it was first released, its performance in handheld mode is still disappointing. Shumao Club pointed out that the frame rate of the handheld version is difficult to stabilize at 30FPS, and the picture often stutters. Although it reaches 30FPS theoretically, the overall smoothness is still insufficient.
