Full Screen Win 10 Fix

[Chuck Mussarela]

To Solve the problem with the black screen after the Eidos Logo and be able to play in full screen, you just need to use the dgVoodo 2 wrapper.

Download it here: http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html
Just copy the D3D dlls (from the MS folder) to the Tomb Raider Folder (steamapps\common\Tomb Raider (V) Chronicles) and you are good to go.

Its working now in Windows 10 x64.

O.K., it's working. But when I want to exit game - the game freezes (when I push Esc key). How to fix it?

What I did was follow this guide.

FIX for crashing in fullscreen or when opening inventory! (Works for TR IV and TR V)
A Guide for Tomb Raider: Chronicles

FIX for crashing in fullscreen or when opening inventory! (Works for TR IV and TR V)

Followed this instruction. - In the setup, change your resolution to what you like (I did 1600x900 for a VERY specific reason), and make sure to check the "Windowed" box, change NOTHING else and click OK.

You don't even need to checked the windowed mode. Just select 1600x900 from the setup.

Game ran perfectly after that. And then upon exiting I launched dgVoodooSetup and reconfigured 4K resolution at 3840x2160 and WOW now the game no longer crashes when I press ESC for Inventory or P for pause menu and it's Full Screen!

This is definitely going to solve the problem. It did for me and now I am running the game fullscreen at 4K. Pressing ESC, F5 or P no longer causes game to crash!

Yes, now all is working correctly. My mistake - I didn't use setup. I changed resolution in setup - and now all is O.K. Yes, I have found yesterday in the internet that pressing P = exit game :-)

Great! Glad that fixed it. Now that this has been solved. If you want to change your resolution to something higher again as 1600x900 may be a bit too low. Then you can go back to the dGVoodooSetup (make sure you run it as Administrator) and then you can increase the resolution back up again to something higher like 1920x1080 or if you have a 4K monitor like myself you can change it to 3840x2160 and hit apply.

After that make sure you set Tomb Raider as Run as Administrator for it to not crash. Now launch the game as normal without using setup and you will no longer experience the crash when pressing ESC or P even at the higher resolutions! :D

I don't know how this trick solves the problem. But it did for me after hours of troubleshooting a few days ago. I have Tomb Raider Last Revelation on DVD this is the same fix I used for that game.

I guess this is a compatibility issue with latest versions of Windows. I played and completed TR: Chronicles over a decade ago on Windows Vista or XP, I forgot but I never had this issue back then.

You made for these games very big work. Steam should give you a special bonus for it ;-)

I keep getting the "failure to setup directx" even after trying the fixes on this thread, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

[Nathan Vasnev | Mystes]

Je n'arrive pas à avoir mon jeu tomb raider 5 en plein écran que faut il faire ?

[heeeenri]

yessssssss!!!!! it works!! thnks

[WitWolfy]

Doesnt work for me. Now it just gives me some weird DirectX error the whole time.

[TheOneTrueSpLiT]

This worked for me for Tomb Raider The Last Revelation and Tomb Raider Chronicles on Windows 10 64 Bit:

[1] Download latest dgVoodoo vX.Y.Z archive from:

http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html

[2] Extract archive somewhere and keep it

[3] Open the extracted archive folder.

[4] Copy ALL DLL files from MS/x86 folder to your GAME folder.

[5] Copy the single D3D9.DLL file in MS/x64 to your GAME folder OVERWRITING the version you just pasted from MS/x86 folder.

[6] Copy dgVoodooCpl.exe to your GAME folder.

[7] Now RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR that dgVoodooCpl.exe in your GAME folder.

[8] Set options you want and click APPLY/OK.

[9] Your GAME should now run in non-Windowed FULLSCREEN.

You can check that dgVoodoo is working by selecting the "dgVoodoo Watermark" option from the DirectX tab when you run dgVoodooCpl.exe - if you don't see the dgVoodoo Watermark in the bottom right corner of your GAME you've done something wrong.

Why can't anyone else write simple instructions without getting things wrong and being vague.
