Tomb Raider Thread

A really silly question but how do i Fast Travel? I've completed the game with 77% complete and now want to go back and enjoy the maps. I select the fast travel camps but then what??

Thanks in advance :)
 
We have just made public a new version of the PC version of Tomb Raider, build 1.0.722.3. This patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client.

In addition to various PC specific fixes this patch brings all the fixes available in the 1.02 console patch to the PC as well, but note that the majority of those was already included in the originally released PC game or version 718.4.

New fixes in 722.3:

- Addressed an issue in ”Shipwreck Beach” where the mast on the wooden ship was occasionally missing depending on the player’s path.
- Fixed a gating issue in “Research Bunker” where the elevator would get stuck in an unintended state.
- Fixes for multiplayer connectivity
o An issue related to security certificates that stopped many users from connection to Square Enix servers was resolved.
o Improved messages when you are unable to connect with Square Enix servers.
- Improvements to voice-chat for multiplayer
o New Push-To-Talk feature, by default mapped to F1.
o New voice-chat volume option.
o Improved overall quality of voice-chat.
- Fixes for crashes on startup in specific situations when no audio output is available.
- Fixes for various reported crashes during both single-player and multi-player.
- Movies are showing up again when using SSAA.
- Cost of TressFX reduced, especially in combination with SSAA.
- TressFX memory usage reduced for AMD Eyefinity and NVIDIA Surround setups.
- TressFX simulation and graphical quality improvements.
- New Ultra-quality shadow mode for contact hardening shadows. This is not enabled by default in any quality profile, but can be enabled from the advanced settings.
- Improvements to fullscreen/windowed switching and multiple display handling.
- Various UI improvements.

While we expect this patch to be an improvement for everyone, if you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on the old version we made a Beta available on Steam, Build718.4, that can be used to switch back to the previous version. Please note however that you can only play multiplayer with people that share your version.

We’ve been working closely with NVIDIA to address the issues experienced by some Tomb Raider players. In conjunction with this patch, NVIDIA will be releasing updated drivers that help to improve stability and performance of Tomb Raider on NVIDIA GeForce GPUs. We are continuing to work together to resolve any remaining outstanding issues. We recommend that GeForce users update to the latest GeForce 314.21 drivers (posting today) for the best experience in Tomb Raider.

We are planning further patches beyond this one to address various issues that have come out of consumer feedback since the release of the game.

I always liked Square Enix and that^ kind of regular and meaty update is why I buy games of this calibre.
 
Just dropped out of the game to do some stuff and noticed this update starting in Steam. Figured trusty old OcUK would have the details, and what do you know, there it is :p. Cheers Broken Hope.

I'll grab the latest drivers too while I'm at it.

Edit: The new drivers don't seem to be available yet.

Performance increase with new drivers is huge.

Before patch with all settings at max except TressFX disabled I got a max of 60 fps in the benchmark with an average of 51, I now get a max of 98 and an average of 75 in the benchmark.
 
Im having major issues playing this game. Im running it on a 3 year old laptop with a first gen i7, 4gb ram and a nvidia 280m and the frame rate comes to a crawl around 40% of the time. I've tried putting the game on minimum settings(my laptop should be able to handle this game with solid frame rates on at least normal settings) but nothing changes. The frame rate is fine one second, then all of a sudden im only getting ~5 fps. This lasts for a few seconds, then it reverts to normal, then the same thing happens again.

Any ideas? I would be enjoying this game a lot more if i didn't have to put up with this. The new patch they just released hasn't changed a thing for me.
 
What res?

My GTX570 is playing at 2560x1440 with mostly Ultra except hair on normal. I get 40~ fps in busy areas but this kind of game doesn't feel slow at all so this isn't a problem.

Just finished the game and what a ride. Not sure about the ending, but its still GOTY so far regardless. Going to be a hard game to beat to take that title away from it tbh.

I was meant to finish it tonight, still at that point of no return mark. But... Another thread here has now pulled me into Dark Souls which I have been playing all evening!

This is why I have stuck to 310.90, everything since has been bugged for me too, and not only for this game.
