hud elements off screen

[gageschleser]

certain text lines, such as hints or when i complete a tomb or collect an item, appears in a white box in the corner of the screen but it gets cut off by the edge of the screen. any idea how to fix this? ive tried changing aspect ratio and the game resolution but neither works. any help would be appreciated.

Downgrading to an earlier Version fixed it for me. Right Click -> Properties -> Betas, then chose "build743.0 - TR Build 1.01.743.0" from the drop down menu. It should then "update" to that version. My safe (created in the most recent version) also worked without a problem after doing that.

Thanks harena!!!!! It worked for me, I had the same issue lol

I think it's a problem across all apps, not just Steam. I own it through the Epic Games app and it's doing the exact same thing. I don't know if my fix would be as easy as the Steam version, though. It's definitely not a game-breaking glitch, but it's still pretty annoying.

Anyone here know of the fix for the Epic version? I'd try the Steam fix, but Epic isn't the same as Steam.

Same issue here. Since I own the game on both platforms, I tested the build 743 'beta' version that's available on Steam in my Epic launcher's install but it launched Steam instead. I can turn off auto-update on Epic but not download previous versions. :(

Quite a folder size difference between the two installs as well, 25gb on Epic and 10gb on Steam.

we should not need to downgrade... SE should fix their game and stop being so greedy... and stop thinking *well this game is almost 10 years old, we don't need to fix it... no one will play it...**

SE STOP AND THINK AND LOOK AT ALL THESE BUG REPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Downloaded this from epic games and having the same problem. I'm in the first scene where i'm supposed to pull something off of myself and i can't figure out the button for it, 'cause i can't see what it says.

Still not fixed. Unbelievable.

EDIT:
It doesn't really work. It mitigates the issues somewhat, by pure coincidence, but the problem is still present.
The aspect ratio formula I found on PCgamingWiki, and modified by trial and error, doesn't really work: the expected value is in hex, not in decimal. BUT, by sheer coincidence, my 16:9 value was close enough to mitigate the issue for short "text" with minimal distortion.
After some more testing though, both the bug and the distortion became evident.

If anyone is interested, the right values for the AspectRatio key are:

3415 for 4:3
4572 for 16:9
3e80 for 16:10
30d4 for 5:4

D*mn I really thought I was onto something here. Sorry everyone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found a solution for the Epic Store version.
It should actually work on ALL versions of the game, across all platforms, but I only tested it on the Epic+Heroic launcher on Linux.

Find the .ini file (or equivalent) and manually change the value of the key:
AspectRatio
with the number given by: (height / width) x 10000

16:9 would be (9/16)x10000=5625
16:10 is 6250
And so on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

For reference, the .ini is located here:

Windows: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Dynamics\Tomb Raider\
Heroic/Lutris/Wine(etc): WINEPREFIX/user.reg
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Tomb Raider/
Linux (native): $XDG_DATA_HOME/feral-interactive/Tomb Raider/

Shouldn't 16:9 then be (16/9)x10000=17778

I'm not at my gaming PC, or I would just test it.

EDIT2:
Nevermind, it doesn''t really work.

EDIT:
I'm an idiot... I actually wrote the wrong formula on the post. it's (H/W)10000. Please disregard the rest of this answer... I corrected my previous post. Thank you

No. My formula is correct, and there is a good reason for why it's this way; it needs to be an exact integer.
16/9x10000 is 1777.7(7) recurring, Doing it the other way around is always guarantied give you an exact, finite, integer value since all commonly used aspect ratios are wider than they are tall.
It's just a bit of math trickery the devs used to encode an option. I stumbled upon it while trying to fix another issue and noticed that, no matter what value I had set in the in-game menu, this key would always be set to "00000000".
After some research on PcGamerWiki, I found the right values.
I played the game up until you get captured the first time, and so far everything seems to work, as long as I leave the in-game option to "auto", the ini file does it's job.

Anyway, as I said, I have a test-sample of exactly one, so... it may not work for everybody, but since there is no other fix out there for the Epic version, I thought I'd better share.

Aw, I was all set to test it later. Guess I still could using your updated values from above, but... I can also just stick with the older build since Steam lets me do so (sorry EGS peeps).

[jojorne]

you can set AspectRatio ingame and it does not work.
i believe the game is looking for a dll and finding two versions of it, getting confused...

Yeah... I'll buy it here next time it's on sale, I guess.
Those values are what the ingame option should be writing to the INI file, I got them from a friend with a steam installation. For some reason, it doesn't in my case. It doesn't save the languages options either, which is how I ended up messing with the INI in the first place.
If the games autodetects your aspect ratio correctly, those values are of little use.

Yes, you can. But it doesn't work for me: no matter what I select in game, it doesn't save the value on the INI and thus it doesn't persist between gaming sessions. Editing the INI does the trick. Same with the languages options.... I don't know if it's a issue related to the game, or the Heroic launcher tho... at this point anything is possible.
