Is it just me or is there a bug in the part where I have to save Alex in the Shipwreck, and I can't kill the big guy there. I tried everything. Even when I had to hit him with my axe he just pushes me.

Hi K,

You need to try and bring him down using your guns and then go in for the finisher when he is down, please see the YouTube link below that should help with this:

About 5 mins and 30 seconds in is where you should need to start watching. If you have any issues then please contact [e-mail].

I´m planning to buy an external GPU (eGPU) for my Mac. Is this new version of Tomb Raider 2013 already compatible? (Feral website currently states only Rise of the Tomb Raider is ...) Thank you!

Hi barandor,

The game's 64-bit Metal update was mainly to accommodate the transition to macOS Catalina, which will not support 32-bit apps. The game was tested during development by the QA team using some eGPUs, but not to the extent that we can stamp "officially supported" on the game. That said, we would not expect any major issues in the game.

We hope you continue to enjoy the game!

It runs so good on my Vega 20 MacBook Pro and I'm sure that's thanks to the Metal update! Thanks guys. Though I am getting this weird camera glitch, I've emailed support already.

But I got another itty bitty issue, when using a PS4 controller, the on screen controls are Xbox so when it says X it means Square and Y it means Triangle, and so on. I was wondering if you could release an update with like a toggle or something for that? I keep failing the QTEs where it says to press Y because I keep wanting to hit Square because that's where Y is on Nintendo controllers which is the ABXY layout I'm used to. :P

Don't need an auto detect or anything for the controller, just needs a toggle in the preferences menu that opens when launching the game possibly?

PS, excited for you guys to release Shadow of the Tomb Raider on Mac!

Hi SUNSTAR,

The on-screen gamepad button prompts are due to the Windows version of the game using the Xbox 360 controller as the default controller. If possible in our Mac versions we will add custom prompts for specific controllers, such as the PS4 controller, but it is not always possible to do so.

I'm sorry I cannot offer more encouraging news but we hope this helps explain the situaiton and you are still able to enjoy the game.

Tomb Raider is not running on Linux Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
I just click on the icon to run the game and a small window pops up and then disappears as if the game process was being interrupted.

Greetings to all, I resolved.
I found that the Asus RX 550 Video Drive version of AMD version 19.10 was making the game incompatible.
The solution was to remove the current version and install the latest version 19.20 on Kubuntu 18.4 lts.
