Best Guide For tomb Raiding In 2023

[BuzzSaw]

Are there any guides on the best way to play tomb raider on modern PC's
i.e things like

- controller support
- working saves
- sound compatibility
- etc

I just booted TR1 up and its basically unplayable in standard Steam state.

Thanks, I actually found a thing called TombATI, seems to be really good for most things including resolution scaling and textures. Still can't get ps4 controller working unfortunately.

Yeah, TombATI is reeeally outdated in 2023. You shouldn't be using it.

Somebody compiled it into an installer, which includes some bugfixes. It's called "The Automated Fix" if you wanna look for it. But even this is outdated nowdays.

But the thing I linked above is modern and still in development. It has a LOT of features which TombATI doesn't, including controller support and more.

Yeah thanks, will give it a look. I seen that automated fix as well, also got ds4windows which allowed me to map ps4 control (possibly ps5 I havent tried) to the in game default mappings for KB&M. Seems to be working well now anyway.

Stellas tomb raider site is fabulous. I have been using this site for many years. It has all of the TR games and instructions, and guides, and cheat codes, and just about everything you can think of is there.

Thank you everybody that contributed code and helped with this. The game is totally playable and in many cases even better than the original with all the fixes and addons.

I just ran it and the menu page looks really pretty in high definition.

Well done everybody.

I first played this game back in 96 or 97, i cant remember. I think it was 96 since i played it before i got married. Even though the game was out for MS-DOS as well i played it on the PS1

TR is responsible for me getting into computers for real. I messed around with older intel 8088 hardware up until TR. After that i got my first AMD 386, then a 486, Pentium, Celeron, Pentium 2, Pentium 3. Then i went back to AMD since intel was just ridiculously expensive to game on if you wanted decent hardware.

Ive used AMD most of my life out of necessity. Not having the budget to buy intel. Have a ryzen 5 5500 now.

I can confirm, I used tombATI but this is far superior. Only thing I wonder about is if there is a way to make custom textures work in this version.
