What really helped solving the crashes (v1.0.1.6 with RTX 3070)

[undo]

Like a lot of you I've tried multiple things but what end up really working was:

1) Look online for the Nvidia Profile Inspector (you can download it from the link bellow):

a) Open and search for the Profile "The Last of Us Part I".
If you don't find it it's because you don't have the latest nvidia drivers installed, install these first.
b) With the profile selected, Ctrl+F for Shadercache and change it to Unlimited (10GB might work too)
c) Ctrl+F for Memory Allocation Policy and change it to MEMORY_ALLOCATION_POLICY_AGRESSIVE_PRE_ALLOCATION
d) Select Apply Changes in the top right

This step is the one I mostly believe it really helped the stability of the game and greatly improved the speed building Shaders.

I would recommend rebuilding Shaders after this step by deleting the directory psolibs in the game folder or do the Verify Files through Steam.

The next two steps might be placebo but I saw them suggested and they might help.

2) In Windows, search for Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows and update the Virtual memory under Advanced:
20 000 MB min
30 000 MB max

Make sure you hit Set and Restart the computer

3) Go to the game folder and under Properties of the file tlou-i.exe, under Compatibility select Disable full-screen optimizations.

Let me know if it helped and share with others if it did.

Just did this and launched , looks like it is making the shaders load faster :) , I'll post again and give an award to this if it lasts longer or doesent crash at all 🙂, thanks for adding tho

The shadercache setting I was personally thinking about. Let's see what players who can test these steps (I can't - refunded) say...

Will test and let you know the results, I have had 0 crashes but runs poorly. 8700k, 32gb 3600mhz, 3090.

still crashed but shaders worked faster

I tested step 1, and it's still crashing in the sewers.

I'll try step 2 and 3 and report back.

Tried all steps, still crashing - does load quicker however.

seems to work for me... didnt play much for testing, but no crash after 5 minutes. i did only step 1. framerate limited to 40 fps (because of steam deck and this option gets to my pc).
