^ Yeah, ran into the same during my last playthrough. Just used one of Stella's saves to skip past it for the time being.

I don't really have much experience uploading files through this service, but hopefully this works.

Stella's Savegame.4 for the mastabas (at the puzzle area) presents the glitch

Fixed, thank you for the save

please redownload from the same link, here- I didn't think this would need its own update.
old saves will still work, so if you were stuck on a save before this, it will work now

I know you are really busy, troye, just take your time. But I just would like to know if it's possible to fix the way the items you collect, when they appear spinning at the bottom right of the screen, fade in and out. It's kinda hard for me to explain, but on psx the items fade in and out offscreen, but on pc they just "pop" in and out. I think it's a bug, because at lower resolutions it works as intended.
Just for comparison, I will link these videos:

PC, at 0:13:

PSX, at 1:49:

These other ones are a bit silly lol, but is it possible to add the letterboxes at the end credits, and add the title splash screen in the first loading screen? To match the console versions?

I'll check the pickups
Not sure about the letterboxes, people usually ask me to turn them off

will consider an option in the future

you can have the title splash screen if you place a bmp image in the folder (not sure of the specifics, the Times level uses this), it should be called language.bmp, for me it's uk.bmp

I whipped up some quick legal splash screens.
Credit to McPherson for the original The Times Level.

Download

1. These are at 4:3 (1440x1080)
2. The archive contains NTSC-U and PAL variants for TRIV and The Times Level, and and a PAL-Ger variant for TRIV exclusively
3. Choose your logo and rename it uk.bmp for it to work in-game
4. They go at the root game folder, e.g. "C:\GOG Games\Tomb Raider 4"

If you want to make your splash screen 16:9, be sure to save it as a 24-bit Bitmap in MS Paint. The easiest way to make my screens 16:9 is to add 240 pixels of black on the left and right edges of the image.

I originally wrote more detailed instructions, but accidentally refreshed. Oops.

Examples: (DO NOT SAVE THESE, THEY WON'T WORK!)

This is because of the aspect ratio isn't it? I remember it looking like PSX when playing in 4:3 a long time ago.
