Loading time and Slow Texture Loading FIX (8GB VRAM or less can benefit from this, NVIDIA ONLY)
- Permissions and credits
Game loading time is not only affected by your Texture settings, and this can help a lot with loading these textures.
If you have a 8GB VRAM GPU or less, this is the best fix I have found to make the game "playable".
This also works even for a powerful GPU like 3080Ti or 4070Ti that I've also tested with this, even If you have a High End GPU with free VRAM these issues still happen and this can fix the textures and load the game faster, much much faster.
I'm uploading NvidiaProfileInspector GitHub version for you to download and fix this.
Step: Open the software and search for The Last of Us Part I profile on the upper left of the screen, Ctrl + F and search for Memory Allocation Policy, change It from MEMORY_ALLOCATION_POLICY_AS_NEEDED to MEMORY_ALLOCATION_POLICY_AGRESSIVE_PRE_ALLOCATION, apply the setting on the upper right green button and open the game.
Remember this is NVIDIA ONLY FIX and YOU NEED THE LATEST DRIVER, depending on the circumstances this can make not much difference, but still will get it improved, please give me some feedback.
UPDATED: new CustomSettingsName.xml for the NvidiaProfileInspector since newest drivers vanished with the option, now it can be used again.
