Issue trying to boot The Last of Us on very weak hardware

You may be able to get in-game on that bad mobile CPU, that's not the point, the point is the game will run way too bad so it's not worth wasting more time on it

With 7700K you should be able to get somewhat decent performance with all the patches enabled

Sorry didn't see the MQ in his message, my bad!

If anyone's here from Google, I managed to get past being stuck on shaders compiling screen by erasing the shader cache on TLOU and restarting

A lot of people are trying to use this thread to report unrelated issues years after, so I renamed the thread and locked it to avoid further off-topic posts.

If you have hardware that's at least within recommended requirements, have a non-corrupted dump of your game disc and are using the settings from the wiki, it will work.
