tr3gold.exe crash on Win 10 (on main menu load)
EDIT, got a solution to my problem. Posting this above the original post.
What helped was editing the config.txt file and disabling MMX (setting it to 0). Now, back to the original opening post. Hi! I wonder if anyone else has this problem. tr3gold.exe launches fine, the title is displayed, the intro video plays fine, but as soon as the menu loads, the game crashes. I've got no idea what causes it (... well, apart from Win 10 being garbage), especially since TR3 works just fine. Everything worked fine on an older PC with Win 7. Any ideas? I've tested this with and without compatibility layer, with/without dgVoodoo, and with/without the "Use AGP mem" option in the settings. Last edited by Sardoc; 17-01-21 at 16:21. |

Works fine on my PC running windows 10. You ran the setup and made sure everything is correct there?
Also rightclick on the exe and make sure overide screen optimization is unchecked or checked I think. Also what resolution are you running it at? I've had this problem before with other classic games and most of the time it came down to resolution issue. |

As far as I know, I'm not doing anything different to what the old PC (Win 7) did. Everything is unticked on the "Compatibility" tab, will try fiddling with it a bit more after work.
I did indeed go through the installer. I suspect it's some core difference between W7 and W10, or maybe some component, a driver, something like that. I just haven't found out what it is yet. I also have TR2 running, but not playing any music. I use an audio solution from someone on TR Forums (Link), been using it for years and never had issues with it, but it looks like on W10 the library just doesn't load. And the funniest thing is, the exact same solution works fine in TR2 Gold. Again, none of these issues were present on Win 7. Last edited by Sardoc; 04-08-20 at 19:32. |

Have you tried Arsunt's exe file? It works for Lost Artifact on Windows 10 for me.

Hi!
Thanks for the link! Unfortunately there's no difference in TR3Gold, still crashes as soon as the main menu shows up. |

^This indicates that something is wrong with the installation of Tomb Raider 3 Gold. Any way you can reinstall it?

I've heard that audio hardware acceleration can cause older games to crash.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...nd-src-sliders It's a long shot, but I've heard it can work. |

Hey Sardoc, I found a thread with someone who had the same problem i.e. crashing at menu. Maybe take a look at this solution below.

Something that happens in my game, after installing Peixoto's patch to get rid of blurry textures and that vertical line on the title screen, is that when I open Lara's inventory in-game, the background is transparent. And if I exit the game to the title screen, the title screen icons do pop up, as well as the main theme, but the background is still the moment in the game I exited it.
Like, if I exited the game while Lara was hanging in mid-air, I'm at the main menu of the game, but instead of the Lost Artefact title screen in the background, it's the in-game moment from when I exited the game. |
