Yep I'm taking it slow for now, playing the lost artifact in classic as it's the only expansion i haven't played, it looks much more unfinished compared to the main games so I'm pray they add the same thick vegetation details instead of the flat textures currently

I bought it, just to rub it in their face and say Fook you Crystal Dynamics, and the developers.

Yes some minor needs fixing but it would be nice to improve water reflection and ripple effects and so on. I can't complain too much, I have so much respect for Aspyr and they have done a bloody good damn job. First time in 19 years, I have never been so happy to be a original Tomb Raider fan again. What a time to be alive!

I share the same sentiment as you, it's such an incredible game.

Btw nice of you to have a mention of rr_carroll, that guy was a true legend of the forum, i had a different account back in the late 00s and he was so helpful and used to make clips to assist people back then. Hope he's resting well & looking down on these amazing games, i know he'd love them.

I'm also playing the lost artifact. Well it has lost its spooky atmosphere. The lighting is dull. The sky box is meh. The rain is hard to see. So is the fog. There is no 3D foliage. The water is flat despite being 3D in the main game. Same for the quick sand.
The textures look uninspired.
The original looks like pixel art in comparison.

And the camera is a nightmare. Terrifying.

I do hope they patch this expansion

Has there been OFFICIAL word on a patch yet? The game is borderline unplayable with its horrible broken camera in modern controls. It just gets stuck on everything and even worse the no sidestepping makes some platforming impossible.

The job that Aspyr did is AWESOME. I just feel the Gold games didn't receive the same love as the original trilogy. I hope they can do something about it.

Have you played TR2 Gold? For me that was amazing, all the texture work looked pretty good too.

If there are patches for the game. Do u have to download the game; then the patches later? Or, will the game be updated if u haven’t actually downloaded it yet?

On GoG there was a small patch that contributed towards the save file errors.
Since that was only related to that version, it did not appear on other stores.
There will be a bigger patch in the near future.
It takes time, to gather all the information that is needed and what is to be adressed. I wouldnt worry about it.

The game in my experience will always be in its updated form, once a new patch drops.
Once a new patch is available it will be automatically fed into the client. You dont need to do anything.

It would be great if there was an official statement about fleshing out this expansion, since based on feedback it seems to be in an unfinished state. It would give modders a chance to start working on it in case Aspyr has no intention to polish it graphically, assuming that a new level editor is released. I don't know if the old one works with these

I have a feeling they won't do more than most developers would, they'll just fix the most egregious bugs and that's it.

I noticed that some blocks were given rounder edges to make them look natural and less sharp. I hope more get this treatment.

I also noticed 2D foliage in the games and it would be great if they were made 3D
