[23-11-2021] PC Patch Notes for patch Rise of the Tomb Raider, build 1.0. 1026.0 (Patch #16)

[Nixxes_Official]

We have just released the a PC patch for Rise of the Tomb Raider, build 1026

This patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client.

This is an update of the previous patch 1013, reintroducing the features added in that patch while avoiding the issues reported by players after the last release.

In situations where the previous patch caused issues with your save-game this new patch also attempts to resolve those. If you still have issues with your save-game we recommend loading an earlier save-game that was not modified during the short period the previous patch was live.

Fixes included in this patch

• Added support for the latest version of NVIDIA DLSS.
  
• Various stability fixes, especially when using DX12.
  
• Updates to multiplayer infrastructure to use Epic Online Services. Use of an Epic account is entirely optional.

Epic and Steam account linking and crossplay.

1) If you’ve never linked your Steam and Epic accounts, you can launch and play Tomb Raider through Steam just as you always could.

2) If you have previously linked your Steam and Epic accounts the game will not automatically use your linked account. If you wish make use of your linked accounts, please enable the feature from the options menu>>multiplayer.

3) You can unlink your Steam account via your Epic account settings, or disable the use of it from the in-game menu.

We will keep monitoring for feedback and will release further patches as it seems required. We always welcome your feedback!

The previous build has been made available through a Steam beta branch.

Good that you made using an Epic account optional and not ruining a 5 year old fully functioning game.

Finally, thanks for this, i was waitting for this, DLSS is amazing, especially for this game due no TAA support!

2 GB, ARE U SERIOUS?

DLSS is a godsend, every game should implement it. Free visual upgrade and additional performance headroom.

That was the plan from the very beginning. Expect part where they ruined 5 years old fully functional and other 2 games...

Well implemented DLSS is an absolute gamechanger for big 4k 120Hz Displays. It makes 48" 4k 120Hz gameplay (LG OLED C1) at 80cm viewing distance truly possible but if you want to miss out, feel free to miss out.

Why can’t developers simply give players a choice to install or not install any dlc patch? I don’t want the DLSS crap. This stupid patch just breaks my game, I’m glad others will enjoy it. But still, would be nice to make it optional.

I'm pretty sure there's still an old beta branch with denuvo, no DLSS and no fixes. You can enjoy it as much as you want.

Yep, because even 4K 60Hz rigs are still rare as Bengal Tigers, not even talking about 4K 120Hz. Doesn't change the fact that DLSS is literally a technical cheating that allows developers to sqeeze out extra fps from poorly-optimized games with further decreasing graphics quality and fidelity, so back to the beginning - it's not free.

update broke mods and my save file now crashes when I go to 813 build through beta.... so I'm forced to play this version if I want to continue my 80% save.... nice.

Last update cause massive lags for me (GTX 1660 super), so anyone experience lags after this update ?
I haven't updated yet
I have update Shadow and it's works well

Tried it. The game just freezes at the loading screen.
This game was running perfectly fine before. I don’t really understand the logic of forcing this update, it still looks like a 2016 game. Only a super nerd with thick eyeglasses could spot the difference. The developers surely have too much free time.
