I've just read one another thread that Nvidia are working on some updated drivers to be released later this month that addresses the crashing problem so many lads seem to be having.

tbh, i never really noticed it at the beginning of the game, Half way through now and it seems to crash every 5 mins.

seems more like a software issue rather than a driver one.

Same as me.....

At the beginning it was fine, didn't crash. When I got to the 2nd camp, I alt-tabbed out of the game and my 3D Vision reverted back to anaglyph. I re installed the latest beta, and since then, clean install, update or normal install, several times, TDR every single time I go into the game.

Suffice to say, tesselation disabled stops the TDR's.

So I looked around, and I'm not alone. I can't help but think that Nvidia haven't really been on board with this one because in the latest beta there was absolutely no spiel whatsoever about it apart from a small line in the release notes saying there was an SLI profile for it.

When you compare this to the likes of Crysis 3, which was pretty much unavoidable to avoid news on whenever you went near anything Nvidia released, it says a lot. For those of you old enough to remember what happened with Angel of Darkness (like me), it doesn't bode well.

A bit hard when he can't click Options either though eh!

I had the same issue; not sure if there is an ini file to edit the Fullscreen settings; to fix mine I reverted back to Windows 7 from Windows 8 and could finally open the Options screen... bit drastic but I needed an excuse to finally format and ditch W8

Getting fed up with these stupid QTE now
....

***! I died around 10 times on the part with the wolf as I wasn't hitting F and E at exactly the right time... After making it out, she says "phew, that was close!" LOL

If only you knew, luv.

QTE need to be removed from all games forthwith!

Getting really annoyed with this game, cant play for more than 10 mins before it crashes, tried turning down setting and and the rest, no joy and to top it of we wont see a driver to fix this until the end of the month.

Oh and DLC set to launch later this month, three new maps, on top of the five (I think) that's in the base game. How pathetic.

Yeah I know about the "fix" but I cant even access options.. I tried looking for the .ini file (i know where it's supposed to be) but its no where to be found. Im running Win 8

Are the quick time events on this bugged or something as its not telling me which button to press on the circle that gets smaller quick time garbage -.- I can't free myself from the camp due to it right at the sodding start! Its infuriating having to deal with quick time garbage.

311.06 WHQL Windows Update

Yes these work fine with Tomb Raider and tessellation. Use windows update to get the driver.

Whoa these drivers really do magic to tomb raider. 2 hours in the game, no crashes or tessellation bug.
Running ultra+fxaa without TressFX. Even with tressfx the framerate averages in the high 40's, maxing out into 56.
Really really good set.

Same problem, there's a big circle closing on a smaller one and I don't understand what I need to do. I've tried clicking when the lines are in sync, amongst other stuff, and nothing I do works. Have watched "that" scene about 20 times now and it's really starting to annoy me.

Edit: Okay so according to Google you press "F" to melee attack. Why didn't the game tell me this? :/

Shrugs, it crashed on me 2 or 3 times through the story with Catalyst Beta drivers. The QTE mostly died out after an hour or so of play, and were always clear what to press. Took about 15 hours to finish the game.

Dunno if its just me but it seems that on some of them if you bind some actions to non-default keys it gets confused and sometimes you have to just randomly mash keys until eventually you hit the right one. The wolf one and another melee one later both don't work as intended for me.

Given an option for them to work as cutscenes I'd use it every time and it would only enhance the game for me.

I've got as far as trying to get the gun and I still get killed even with pressing F. Do I need to mash it or something when I'm on the floor? I just don't get it :S

NeoReloaded · 6 Mar 2013 at 21:53

Decided to turn TressFX off it's so annoying every time the camera gets close to Laras head it drops into the 40fps's >.<

If this is the bit after crazy Russian gets Mike Tyson'd try E when you're grappling for the gun. I resorted to google for that myself last night.
