Doesn't work on windows 11!!!

[Pulse Ultra]

When you press the "play" button, nothing happens, the game does not start, how to solve the problem?

[vodicka3000]

Right now I have bought this game and I have the same problem!
The only way how to run this game is 'manually' by running:

PCTomb5.exe

from the installation directory (in my case d:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Tomb Raider (V) Chronicles\)
If you run it for the 1st time the setup is started.

If you want to run setup (if you spoiled something) run:
PCTomb5.exe -setup

BTW, I thing that there is some glitch in stean client.

Note
I have more Tomb Raider games (TR1-TR5) and all of them work fine, this is the only one
which makes trouble.

Find the .exe file in your folders. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tomb Raider (V) Chronicles) Then right click, properties. Enable compatibility mode. Should then run fine in steam. Went through loads of solutions which didnt work. This one worked first time.

that was brilliant it worked but how do I get the screen bigger

[GodzillaPJ]

on Steam: can add "-setup" in the settings - properties - general in the box at the bottom.
Can choose any res you like. from experience it doesnt like anything more than full hd. I prefer to use in windowed mode but its up to you.

[cathie.oxenham61]

[GodzillaPJ]

I was able to get everything working except my controller. Every fix I found has failed to produce results. Are you all just using keyboard?

Having same issues! I have managed to run in compatibility mode for XP SP 3 from the game folder - just not from steam. Sometimes it crashes my PC after the EIDOS intro, other times it lets me play but only with keyboard. Very frustrating, just finished last revelation with no issues whatsoever.

Last Revelations and Chronicles both crash on me, weird texture glitches and crashing after loading the game. Are there any patches?

Hello. I've been having the same problem for a long time. I applied the solution in the link below, all my problems in Tomb Raider 2-5 games were solved. Maybe the solution will work for you too:

Addendum: I ran the games from their own folders.

Two ways to make controller work in Windows 11 for me: running the game from its own folder, without Steam, but the bindings are off and I don't want to use joy2key.

For Steam controller to work, I have to tick "Disable Fullscreen Optimization" for the .exe but do NOT enable "Run as Administrator" or "Windows XP" compatibility mode.

Maybe it's different from other systems but that's what worked for me. I run it with tomb5 patch and dgvoodoo2 but gamepad and crashing issues exist even without them, game is just not made to work on Windows 11.
