How bigs the patch?

sunlitsix · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:14

Mine did the unpacking for about 10 minutes and I'm now in game.

No idea, it just shows updating and when you click on view updates it just takes you to a steam page.

FlapR · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:15

So its simply unpacking the game, not a big patch?

scrivz69 · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:17

Says updating rise of the tomb raider at my end, to me that's a patch, it was unpacking earlier.

Gregster · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:17

It is deffo doing a patch, as my internet is maxing and then dropping massively and maxing again.

Edit:

Ignore that, it is just unpacking. I have put mine on a HDD and knew I should have put it on a SSD. Oh well

scrivz69 · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:20

Mine is done.

Finished un-packing for me, launcher has loaded up.

Tummy · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:20

So...

I'm going to ask that question aha.

How does it play for those that have started playing?

My PC specification;

Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz
Microsoft Windows 8 64-Bit
Corsair Hydro H70
Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO x2
MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming Edition
MSI Z77IA-E53 Intel Z77
Kingston HyperX Blu 16GB 1600MHz
BitFenix Prodigy 'Tiger' Mini-ITX Cube Case - Orange/Black
Corsair Builder Series CX 600w Modular

I game at 1920x1080 and will be using a Steam controller if possible

.

Desperate to know how this plays before I purchase.

100% not a patch, its just unpacking the game...

Also wondering why its been discounted now its released:

docsonic · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:28

And now to wait.. as I'm going to play this through with the mrs on the sofa

GPU usage under SLI needs some serious work on the driver front.

Hanging around 50-70%

Must be a mistake or there will be a lot of refund requests incoming..

Running fine for me all maxed with AA set to FXAA, Core i7 + 980Ti at 1440p. 60+ FPS although it has dipped sub 60 a couple of times but G-Sync sorted that out!

The graphics are stunning. I had already seen it on Xbox one but PC master race wins again.

Gregster · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:35

Ouch but stunning game

AWPC · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:39

Been ingame about 15 min's now. It looks stunning probably the best looking PC game made to date

Also @ 4K fully maxxed out with FXAA FPS are fine on 361.43 Forceware (I cannot install 361.75 due to an installer bug). Only using 3.47Gb Ram intotal.

GTX 980 Ti is also hardly being taxed at all its sitting @ 41C @ 4K fully maxed out ingame :eek:

Nixxes optimisation is superb off to play some more now it looks so good @ 4K

Nooooo

I'd like a report from somebody with SLI Maxwell, maybe it just doesn't like Kepler?!?

russell664 · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:46

Just bought this game, it is now downloading!

nashathedog · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:48

I've made two attempts to start the game and each time it crashes just as the start up cut scene closes in on Lara and the fella on the mountside with a driver error message.

Great start so I'm currently verifying cache integrity according to Steam.

Hardware is a 4790k, R9 Fury and 8 gb's of ram on Win 10 64 bit.

And I did several reductions to the settings before starting to make sure my fps would be fine.

scrivz69 · 28 Jan 2016 at 17:52

Mine is running ok on a 3570k 8GB and a 970 and win 7.
