Im using the patch and have set the task bar to auto hide so, when playing in windowed mode, it looks full screen.

The link below also has a link to a small patch file which lets you play in windowed mode with no borders. This affects ALL PC PLAYERS! The graphical difference is incredible! Im not talking a small difference to some effects, but a massive difference to all graphics and effects! I was seven hours through before I switched to windowed mode and the graphical difference is outstanding! You will notice a massive difference from the opening title/menu screen. You MUST play in windowed mode for the full level of detail and effects to work! The link below has some screen shot comparisons but they do not do it justice. If youre playing in full screen mode you are NOT seeing the full level of detail. Then I came across a thread on Steam with this advice. Im running Tomb Raider with maximum settings and thought it looked good.

Ive sent a message to Kotaku about this but in case they dont post it: Even as it stands, despite a few stray hairs, Tomb Raider‘s PC version matches the quality of the game itself. And Nvidia is working on a fix for the issues with their cards, so it’s likely that it’ll get more stable for Nvidia users sometime soon. Not the kind of thing you want to watch 15 times while you try to figure out which button to press.īut those (mostly small) shortcomings aside, the whole, the PC version of Tomb Raider is a strong port.

Which is also a drag because often, if you fail a QTE, you’re rewarded witha grisly, graphic death sequence. That’s confusing, and I’ve seen a ton of people getting stuck on the varios QTEs. There’s also the problem Patricia pointed out pointed out where the game shows you the quicktime prompt in one place but tells you which button to press in another. On PC, it’s the left and right keys, which don’t feel as good and also make it confusing when players have to dodge left and right to avoid oncoming rocks. On a controller, players use the triggers, which feels like an approximation of the act of scrambling. The cinematic Quicktime events in particular just don’t work all that well on the keyboard - for example, an early one has Lara scrambling up an incline to escape a cave.
