Crash fix for Nvidia cards, resolved tesellation/Sli issue for me

[Bluerage20X]

Hi All

Just thought i would post a fix i found experimenting with other profile settings using Nvidia Inspector.

The engine for Tomb Raider seems to have a lot in common with Hitman Absolution (a game i had a similar crashing issue with until Nvidia updated their driver profile).

Please note this was tested using Driver 314.07 , 2 x 670-gtx ,Windows 7

All you need to do is use Nvidia inspector to add TombRaider.exe to the Hitman Absolution profile, i have played the game with Maxed settings (using FX antialiasing) for 1:30 hours now with no crashing and great sli scaling. Just to make sure i tried five other profiles, all would crash in 5 or 10 minutes of use despite great sli scaling.

Sorry for the rushed post (dont have time to test on single card until later)

hope this helps.

maybe its just working for the 660's then=( been on for about an hour and half now and no issues whatsoever

Going to give it a try, disabling multi gpu had fixed the absolution issues for me before they were patched, but it didn't work for Tomb Raider.
But the issues the crashes cause me are the same as they were with absolution.

Thanks for the tip. It seems to have fixed my crahing and artifact issues with a single 670. This card has given me more trouble than any other recent card that I owned. But at least this seems to work now.

whatever crashes people are having seems to only be related to the 600 series ? i've played 17 hours and no crashes at all on 2x570

I'm just hear to report that the 314.14 beta driver didn't fix the crashing caused by the tesselation in this game. I had used the 314.07 driver with and without tesselation and everything else on and found out it was in fact tesselation causing crashes (for my computer that is). Crashes every 5 mins with tesselation to none for 5 hrs straight with no tesselation (last night).

I can confirm that this fix works, tested on a GTX 690 with 314.14 beta drivers, settings on ultimate.

Mods should sticky this until Nvidia fixes the profile.

The 314.14 beta drivers are not Tomb Raider specific and include no updates related to the game.
They were released before Nvidia even got the game as it seems.

I can confirm this workaround works perfectly for my 2x GTX 670 SLI setup. Running latest beta drivers 314.14. Without fix the game crashes after seconds, 1 minute tops. With fix enabled it ran absolutely rock solid for 1 hour. SLI scaling is very good. 55-60 fps with max settings, FXAA.

Thank you very much for sharing this information. Made my day :)

Thanks for your feedback, i'm glad this worked for most of you. If we could spread the word. Hopefully we can get a proper fix from Nvidia soon (this works pretty good so far)

It works for me! I've deleted Tomb Raider 2013 profile and added tombraider.exe to hitman absolution profile. It works with tesselation on, before i had crashes every 2 minutes in game.

Thanks man!

Thank you VERY much for this fix.

Don't let this fall back, it's the only fix that works without lowering graphics settings or needing to switch to older drivers.

[WadeOhh]

Is it confirmed this fix also works for single card setups? (I'm GTX 550 Ti on Medium settings and getting crashes every couple of mins)

[Kiyashi]

I hope I don't get flamed for this because this is kinda new to me, but how do you do this fix exactly? I downloaded Nvidia Inspector but I don't see anything for profiles. Just let's me check my GPU temps and clock speeds and what not.

its at the text driver version there a little tool button next to it click that

you dont have to delete your tombraider profile just export the hitman absolution profile to a file and then import it to the tombraider profile from that file and then add the tombraider exe offcourse to it :)
