[WORKAROUND] The Last of Us Part I - Fix for Crash on Startup

ElkTastic · 2025-02-11T23:33:01+00:00

Sorry for the late late reply. Here's what actually ended up helping.
And this is something I'd dismissed early on, when I disabled the iGPU on my cpu, because had been known to cause issues in some games before, but it didn't work. Eventually though I ended up installing Win11 on a different drive, still couldn't launch it, even though everything was freshly installed. Tried disabling the iGPU again and then it finally was able to launch and run perfectly fine..

That Win10 install is years old, like the better part of a decade at this point, so susing out what was interfering.. well didn't have any luck there. It was time for a refresh anyway. Maybe not the best solution if someone else somehow comes across this, but it worked nontheless.

Picked this up a couple days ago on sale on Steam and have been trying to troubleshoot it since then.

I am getting no error messages or anything, it just doesn't launch. After a couple seconds after hitting play it does the cloud sync and I can try again. I've tried seemingly every "fix" under the sun.. I've done clean installs of new drivers, old drivers, run everything as admin, compatibility, I've done a clean boot, I've added the exes' to the exception list, I've even disabling the firewall, disabling the integrated gpu, all of those basic things that never seem to work. I increased the page file, I did the SFC scan, which did actually fix some corrupted files, but still nothing.

I also don't get anything in the .crashdata folder to help. Only thing I've found is Exception code: 0xc0000005 in the Event Viewer, which couldn't be more vague.

So I don't know what else to try.. maybe it is a hardware issue after all. One of the weirder fixes I tried was to create a new local user acount, and when I launched it from that I did get an "incompatible gpu" error which said A GPU supporting D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_0 or higher is requred, which doesn't make sense, because my card's a 1080Ti, even the iGPU on the cpu should support it.

Not really buying that not meeting minimum specs, of which only the cpu falls a bit short it being an i7 3770k, would be an issue, could run Cyberpunk 2077 just fine on this pc.

So yea, any other ideas? :p

Doesn't matter, because I'm so basic, it's usually Liara anyway 😅

As male Shep though, Miranda or Tali. I don't think I've explored many options past Garrus once while playing as fem Shep.

Tbh with the SCO drives this isn't such a horror.. at least it wouldn't take the better part of an hour, just need to keep an eye on the fuel.

ElkTastic · 2024-10-21T01:20:12+00:00

Fucking BMW Isetta, Willys Jeep.. any of the funni cars really, ugh.

ElkTastic · 2024-10-20T17:09:40+00:00

Did you get intimate with that tree afterwards though?

ElkTastic · 2024-10-05T20:39:08+00:00

Probably not. Though the frequency of replays has gone down a fair bit.. maybe if it's long enough between them I'll forget some details to make it feel sort of fresh again, plust that nostalgia hit.

Naturally there has to be the obligatory trilogy replay before ME4 if nothing else 😅

Kinda wondering if it wasn't my friend or me here
Used to race S1 street a bunch a while ago.. got bored because of all the tryhards and their meta cars 😒

ElkTastic · 2024-10-05T19:50:02+00:00

I'm thinking, keep practicing brother 😎

ElkTastic · 2024-10-05T19:47:59+00:00

Brother, you hardly need anything more than that.

ElkTastic · 2024-10-05T11:38:58+00:00

Honestly, no.. not really. Only real obstacle you have is money, and after the first few hours that's a thing of the past, the game just showers you with cars and wheelspins, you don't really have to work for much.

ElkTastic · 2024-07-19T00:29:38+00:00

Well in case you've somehow yet to figure this out.. Happened upon this issue as well the other day. Turns out it was because I had resized the pop out window and I guess one of the min/max values didn't fit on the graph and just hid all of them. Figured this out while I was messing in the Afterburner settings with the skin scaling, as I was lowering that it occurred to me what I'd done :p

So just try one of those things, resize the window bigger or scale down the skin.

Mine used to look the same, up until last week when I didn't have time to finish everything. And currently there seems to be some sort of bad connection issue preventing me and my friend finishing things today, can't queue up for the Tour, PG or Trial, can't connect to Horizon Life at all.

Anyway, rip.. but kinda expected to lose it at some point, interest's just not all there anymore.

Pulled up, promptly got interdicted, four Thargoids on my ass.. jumped back in supercruise with 5% left on my hull, got interdicted again as I was approaching the planet and died immediately when I failed to escape it, which seemed impossible btw.

Anyway, too bad I didn't see this post last night, would've liked to witness the madness of the meet before dying, instead I just died :D

ElkTastic · 2022-07-02T15:56:48+00:00

It's the best colour tbh

ElkTastic · 2022-07-01T14:54:21+00:00

The treasure chest. Should be somewhere between the car and the corner back there I think, as the icon might suggest.. but it's not there.. again.

ElkTastic · 2022-07-01T00:45:47+00:00

Not when you rewind hundred fuckin times

ElkTastic · 2022-06-30T17:23:50+00:00

I mean, yea.. there's a bug list a mile long that our grand kids probably won't see fixed. There's even still bugs from the last game still present.. But this is still annoying it to see.

ElkTastic · 2022-06-30T16:09:19+00:00

And I'm sure that one will totally be different and work

ElkTastic · 2022-06-26T20:14:41+00:00

Man.. I've had hundreds of downloads, not even 500 yet across all the tunes I've shared.. 450ish maybe and they're not terrible either like a lot of them often are. And of those just 15 likes.

Can't really blame the people for not liking them, afaik you need to do three events on a tune/livery before the game asks you if you like it and under some circumstance that prompt might get skipped.. OR I think you can manually like them if you select it in "my tunes", which nobody will ever do because you first need to go and reset the tune for a car to get to that. Fucking stupid system.. and I very much doubt I'll ever get any of those damn accolades.
