I'll get straight to the point. This is what I see when I run TRC. I can't search if this already has been posted.

I have installed the latest drivers for my video card. I have installed the patch. I still have this problem. Can someone help me?

That's not the same version as i have, Elen. Could you maybe post an image of the cover of the box?
And which 'patch' exactly did you install?

[Joseph]

Anyway, this looks to me like a graphic card's memory issue, or a 32/16 bit issue. I assume this is on your old pc?

Reinstall the game. Apply only the Chronicles patch available on this page (http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/windowsxp2.html) To prevent confusion with older patches, just download it anew right now. Apply that patch. And do not apply compatibility mode on the game.

Before you play the game, always quit the autorun. First go to its settings menu. Be sure to use 16 bit- settings for resolution and texture bit depth. If that doesn't help, disable bilinear filtering. When you hit OK, the game will immediately start.

Yes, it's on my old PC. The patch I used is the one on the same page you posted (from TRC). I'll try the 16-bit thigny. Thank you http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/hug.gif

btw\ I never run the game from the Autorun.

Hows does your version look like? :confused: Anyway, I can't post an image, because I don't have a scanner :D

btw\ the 16-bit thing and the bilinear filtering didn't work. But you know what? I'm not gonna waste my time on this thing. My PC is slower than a turtle. I think I'll have to wait for my new PC. I only wanted to test something on TRC and TRC demo. Thanks anyway. You always help http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/hug.gif

This is the cover:

And your screen doesn't appear at all in my game. Mine starts with the camera flying around the church, then goes for other locations that appear in the game, even locations that do NOT apprear in the game, like a gigantic Egyptian pyramid. :D

It's the same. I see the same flyby sequence. The image I posted is outside Lara's mansion (a couple of seconds before your image). Only the title differs. I used to have the same version as you, but I gave it to a friend.

You gave it to a friend ??? http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/yikes.gif Now you regret it? Demand it back! :D
