The critically acclaimed Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection launched as a decent PC port that was a little rough around the edges.
Iron Galaxy studios have taken note of the issues and have released the first patch for the game on PC. Update 1.1 fixes one of the most glaring issues plaguing the game and that is mouse input. By adding support for raw input, and uncoupling sensitivity from frame rate, the developers have made the game a lot more responsive. Additionally, the game’s motion blur, which was hit-or-miss based on frame rate, has now been adjusted. However, the developers claim that the fix is less effective at higher frame rates for now.
This, along with a few other issues will be tackled in a future update. Here’s everything covered in the latest update and what’s next for the title.

The Legacy of Thieves collection was released on PC on October 19, 2022, to mixed reviews. While the game itself was highly recommended, the PC port left a lot to be desired. Digital Foundry’s analysis of the game revealed a lack of in-depth display options and poor implementation of features. The biggest complaint was the irregularity of motion blue that seemed to completely miss the object in focus, based on framerates. Additionally, the game’s poor implementation of mouse sensitivity was criticized as well.
Update 1.1 serves as the first step in a series of fixes that will help the PC port shine. Currently, there are no announcements regarding when the next patch will arrive.
