The Last of Us Part I Play and Review(Description)Part 6-KJS
For ALL the people having problems with The Last of Us Crashing at 10% during the Building Shaders process there is only 1 FIX for this and I have verified it 3 times just to be sure.
Also if you turn off the Enable Shader Pre-caching option under Steam/Setttings/Downloads that WILL NOT work either.
The New Nvidia Drivers 555.85 RELEASED ON 5/21/2024 and 555.99 RELEASED ON 6/4/2024 both of these Driver Versions will CRASH THE SHADER COMPILATION PROCESS Which in turn will CRASH The Last Of Us rendering it Unplayable.
If you use either of the 2 Versions of Nvidia Drivers listed above you will get an error message after Launching The Last Of Us during the Shader Compilation at 10% that states:
"You don't have enough Vram or Ram to play this Game at its Current Settings and then the Game will Crash.
I have VERIFIED this with Both Versions of the Drivers listed above.
Nobody likes to rollback Drivers but for the game to work again I can and have Verified that if you want to Play the game with NO PROBLEMS you must Rollback your drivers to 552.44 RELEASED on 5/9/2024.
I always like to have all my drivers up to date but if It's going to break a Game especially a Sony Title then that's a Driver I DO NOT WANT. I hope this helps somebody out there looking to Fix or Play The Last of Us until Nvidia Addresses the Situation.
I have sent Feedback to Nvidia through Gforce Feedback but Don't know if that will do any good until they decide it's of enough Importance to them to Deal with It.
