Crashing / Startup crash [FIX] ish

[synrgy87]

In case anyone else is getting this, When i try to play the game i get a crash to desktop with a report error dialogue after a few seconds of the spinning firefly coiny thing tag piece, None of the usual solutions worked no useful info in the crash files.

Works perfectly on steam deck, Just absolutely no worky on main PC,

Decided to screw around with some things (game was working fine prior to patch 1.10 played all the way through except left behind). Found a log file in the save game directory referencing some missing files or files it cannot find which also don't seem to be in the location that it's looking for them, so they don't exist, file count is no different between steam deck and gaming PC. Turns out... if i turn off cloud saves and delete my local save data the game launches just fine, re-enable cloud data and boom, no worky again. So i guess there's some corrupt data in le cloud, checking the same log file with cloud saves turned off and there's no missing files listed.

buuuuuuuuut it's the same save game data that the steam deck is working with, so i guess they keep a separate source for the steam deck cloud save from the gaming pc cloud save data to preserve the steam deck settings so it doesn't do a dumb n try n run the PC settings on the Deck.

Going to try and fix my cloud save data with the steam deck files see if that works.

Just thought i'd post this in case it helps anyone with crashing or startup problems.
Will maybe regenerate the log file n post the contents up, also keeping the save game data but just deleting the settings doesn't fix it so it must be something in the save game data specifically that's telling the game to look for stuff that's no there or in the wrong place, A bug with unlocked cosmetics / extras maybe? that's the last thing i was messing about with before the latest patch.

You really should raise a NaughtyTicket for this.
It sounds like you stumbled an important/critical fix.
You'd be doing a lot of people - including ND - a big favor when the next patch comes out..

I'm running into really similar issues. I played through the first few levels of the game just fine on my gaming pc, but starting about two days ago I crash within about a minute of launching the game every single time, even when i'm able to load into my save.

I have a steam deck as well, game works completely fine on there with no issues and minimal tinkering.

I have that same problem. it starts few days ago. i hope thay fix it fast. im already at the finish of a game((

[synrgy87]

seems I still get the same problem even when i import the sava game data from the steam deck. hmmmm, log file in case it helps, will raise with naughty dog too, wanted to see if that worked first before i sent them a ticket.

I'm still running into the same issues even after the recent nvidia driver update. Could you please post an update if you get a reply back from Naughty Dog?

Wow. How the heck they let that slip through..
This is probably a repeat of TLoU day1 for them.

I hope someone's gonna have to answer for this .. hope it's someone in decisionmaking.
Unfortunately probably someone in Dev.

Most insane question in the universe, but where is your Steam folder located?

If it's in PROGRAM FILES that can be an issue, esp. on Windows 10 / 11 with hardening or high security settings. It could be the cause of your crashing -- it's not recommended for games to be installed there because it causes performance loss or crashing due to permissions issues.

It should be in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

your save are in:
C:\Users\<yourUsername>\AppData\LocalLow

Steam is installed in the default location but games are not installed there they're on their own 4TB nvme SSD in a steam library. saved games are located where the game puts them, user/saved games.

Doesn't seem to matter what i do, it will work with the same games deleted, but won't work with the cloud saves or saves copied from the steam deck, it's a weird one. I did try to move the game install folder(even a complete delete and reinstall) no change.
