For All Nvidia Geforce Users

I've contacted Nvidia today about TR issues with geforce graphics cards and the frame rate drops when turning TressFx on and they've replayed the following:

"We are aware of major performance and stability issues with GeForce GPUs running Tomb Raider with maximum settings.
Unfortunately, NVIDIA didn’t receive final code until this past weekend which substantially decreased stability, image quality and performance over a build we were previously provided. We are working closely with Crystal Dynamics to address and resolve all game issues as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, we would like to apologize to GeForce users that are not able to have a great experience playing Tomb Raider, as they have come to expect with all of their favorite PC games. "

so all you guy have to do is wait for a few days to play it as good as possible :), I still don't have the game but when I do, I hope the issues will be resolved and the performance increased.

Early adopters always love games that turn out not to be rubbish. The relief that results often produces a critical faculty bypass in some gamers that only time will correct with a more considered opinion.

It might be though that the game is indeed fantastic and they've been right all along. However I was and still am not willing to risk £35 on it with the evidence so far. I made that sort of mistake with Legend.

It was the less enthusiastic serious reviews and earlier previews I was actually referring too that finally put me off ordering as much as the uncritical comments of the early adopters since release. The latters' almost undiluted praise is simply unhelpful, that's all I meant.

I don't think it will get resolved by tomorrow as they've just released a beta driver today :o, in a week seems more likely.

Apparently Lara's father is still named Richard Croft.

Broad generalizations aren't very fruitful. I've found people who play a game on release day often complain or find the game bad, perhaps equal to or more so than people praising new games on the net. Being an "early adopter" to a piece of entertainment doesn't take away your credibility. Everyone has their own personal taste, even on release day.

Anyways, I'm loving this game, very strong stuff.

UGH! I have the game, but I can't play it cuz I have to study for an exam and a quiz and do HW for tomorrow! The torture!

Ok so i'm playing the game and it's awesome but when I go into the basecamp system and update and such, I can't read any of the writing. It's so small even when I stand next to the tv I can't read it :( Any ideas on how to make it bigger?

Does anyone know if TR will be on PSN? The reason is I'm lazy and I'd rather just have it digitally lol

yes http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/...-winding-road/ on us psn store

PSN updates every wednesday so it should be available March 6th.

You can adjust the in-game HUD size in Display Options. I hope this helps. :o

Anyone else think the cannibals were channeling Gollum in the Geothermic cave? :vlol:

I really must congratulate Crystal, they managed to make QTE's more frustrating than I thought possible. Thanks for not telling me what buttons to press Crystal Dynamics!

In other news, I just shot the rapist guy in the face.

I keep failing those too, lol. I suck. :p

Hmm... just noticed the game was running on my integrated graphics... Apparently they don't want me even selecting Nvidia cards, well a quick trip to the control panel should change that.

So I have to wait tomorrow to buy the game on psn? Oh darn i didn't want to wait lmao oh well

- So on PC do other characters' hair have that TressFX or not? -

I tried adjusting hud size to make the writing bigger but it didn't work. I still can't read much :(

One thing that really impresses me compared to LAU is how much stuff you can climb on. It was fun trying to get to rooftops of buildings in the night hub and area before it and finding out that you actually can. There are also several ways to get to climb to your destination at times. The environments feel much more natural and less restrictive so far.

It has been stated multiple times in the TressFX thread that only Lara has it.

Been playing it for a good few hours now, and I have to say I really like it so far... just at the point where your journey to rescue a certain girl in the "oriental domicile" begins.

It's funny, in a way it doesn't really feel like the old Tomb Raiders, but at the same time it's not so different that you can say it's different. It's just as addictive as the old Tomb Raiders, imo, but there aren't enough tombs to explore so far... which is where the "doesn't feel like TR" comes in, it just doesn't have the same "adventure" feel to it... it's weird, not bad, just different.

I just wish there were different environments, so far it's been pretty much the same - maybe because all roads seem to lead back to the same place eventually, the island much be tiny if you cover so much ground so quickly... but anyway, please tell me we get some different locations and enemies, these werid guys are getting on my nerves, lol.

Anyways, loving it so far... even if what I just said doesn't make it sound that way. ;)

Congratulations! on getting your game. :tmb:

you ordered pc collector edition?? if yes, does it give you survival edition on steam on standard edition when activated??

Thanks and no i'm on xbox. Sorry can't help with that :(

Oh no CD removed the line in my signature :(

So Whitman is the new Alister as far as I can tell, I just wanna strangle him. Otherwise pretty good game minus multiplayer and quick-time events. I can't help but notice that, with Square Enix involved, things look slightly Final Fantasy 13 with faces and even some animations. Not quite worth the 60 bucks I paid for it but it's a refreshing game.

What? Whitman is an absolute ass, I couldn't tolerate him in another Tomb Raider game.

Just got the game on PSN and its currently downloading!!! I can't wait Also if you guys didn't know if you had bought it through PSN you get all the skins!!! and ShantyTown for Multiplayer AND hitman absolution weapons!!! All for 60 BUCKS!!! SO happy....Also got Quantum Conundrum with it so thats cool! lmao WOW so many benefits for getting it online!!!!

Mathius in the cutscene where you first meet him? Yeah. same thing happened to me, but overall it's running pretty smoothly. My brother can't hunt deer to save his life! :vlol:

No issues. Enjoy!

Got the Collectors Edition. Also got quite a bit of DLC...plus an incredibly articulated toy, iron on patches, map, nice tin.

Oh, and the Gamestop I went to had a contest where we shot nerf darts at a promotional standee of Lara. Closes to a headshot took it home. I won! Barely able to get it in my trunk, but I made it home.

And I still have the storage space on my PS3 hard drive! :ton:

Finished the main story :D

Probably a silly question but I know the game saves automatically but is it still ok to switch it off or do you have to manually save it?

I just switch it off, the thing saves like every 10 steps :pi:

Ok lol just wanted to double check :p

9 hours in and just finished the river/parachute scene after impaling Lara about 5 times. About how far am I?

Wow, I would have never noticed that :p (except maybe if I actually watched the credits... ) , nice find :tmb: !
