NewsThe Last of Us patch removes phone-sex numbers
Over the weekend, Naughty Dog released patch 1.02 for The Last of Us. As promised, it removed the numbers of the phone sex hotlines that were posted to a bulletin board in the game. But the update also included a number of multiplayer changes, both on the technical and gameplay side.
Below are the full patch notes:
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
Of course, the highlight in this update is the removal phone sex hotlines. Last week, Creative Director Neil Druckmann told Kotaku that the numbers were an "honest mistake" made by one of the game's artists. For reference, here is the original.
