The Last Of Us Patched To Remove Inappropriate Phone Numbers, Multiplayer Tweaks
The Last of Us is getting a patch today that will tweak some aspects of the multiplayer, but it will also remove a pair of phone numbers that appear on an in-game bulletin board.
The two phone numbers appeared on a flyer for pest control, and they were both for phone sex hotlines. The Last of Us's creative director Neil Druckmann confirmed to Kotaku that the inclusion of the numbers was a mistake. The patch, which goes live today at 5 PM PST, will remove the numbers.
You can see the full list of changes below, or on Naughty Dog's website:
Single player
- Texture of a phone number on a bulletin board changed
Multiplayer
Technical
- Host migration has been improved. Losing connection to the host during a migration should occur less often
- General crash when leaving multiplayer fixed
- Intro camera fix for some introductory cut-scenes
- Connectivity issues while playing have been tuned
- If you disconnect or lose connection to the host, you will no longer advance a clan day. You will only advance a day if you are kicked from the match, or exit through the menu
Gameplay
- Explosion Expert level 2 should be selectable now
- The voting time for match selection has been reduced to 15 seconds
- “No party” playlist options have been added to both Supply Raid and Survivors, players can only join this playlist solo
- Melee against a downed character now uses the same range as normal melee
