Crystal Dynamics has announced that the second PC patch for Rise of the Tomb Raider is now ready for download. The 1.0.616.4 update addresses a number of user requests as well as GPU stability and performance.
”While we expect this patch to be an improvement for everyone, if you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on the old version we made a Beta available on Steam, Build 610.1, that can be used to switch back to the previous version.” said the developer in a statement.
The fixes included in the update are as follows:
- Fixed Map sometimes not showing or showing the wrong region.
- Fixed ALT-TAB in combination with Exclusive Fullscreen occasionally hanging the game or entire system. (Steam Only)
- Fixed graphics glitches on NPC clothing on NVIDIA 6x0 and 7x0 hardware.
- Fixed rare crashes with a "DX11 Internal Heap" error.
- Added separate mouse sensitivity control for X and Y axis, allowing users to equalize sensitivity.
- Added option to reduce in-game camera shake, for users that prefer this.
- Added audio-cue for finding secrets in the relic viewer.
- Fixed game changing system screen saver settings for some users. (Steam Only)
- Added additional error handling and messaging in case the GPU driver is crashing or unresponsive.
- Various performance improvements for GPU-bound situations. CPU bound scenarios are not impacted.
- A variety of other smaller optimizations, bug-fixes, and tweaks.
The update only applies to the Steam version of the game. ”If you are using the game on the Window Store, the update will be available in a few days, and will automatically download as it becomes available,” notes the developer.
Rise of the Tomb Raider saw its PC debut a few weeks ago on January 28th. GameWatcher gave the game a 9.0/10 score in its review.
