[05-11-2019] PC Patch Notes for patch 1.0.296 (Patch #18)

[Nixxes_Official]

We have just released the eighteenth PC patch for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, build 1.0.296. This patch focuses primarily on the release for “Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition".

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.

New fixes included in this patch:

• New option: Hidden City Outfit Restriction – Turns the outfit restriction in the Hidden City ON or OFF in Post-Story. Deactivating this option will allow you to equip any outfit while exploring the Hidden City, potentially causing narrative inconsistencies. Note that deactivating this option will take effect on a save game where the final boss has been defeated.
  
• We now support the option to enable upsampling and/or sharpening using AMD’s FidelityFX technology.
  
• Various bug fixes.

While we expect this patch to be an improvement for everyone, if you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on the old version, we have made a Beta available on Steam, Build 294, that can be used to switch back to the previous version.

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

FINALLY the outfit patch. Thanks for fixing my main issue with the game

Please tell EM to full get rid of the outfit restrictions during storymode. As this only lifts it after beating the game, and there really isn't anything to do once you beat the game.

Also fix DX12 issues for Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Would that outfit restriction toggle work on a new game plus?

No fitness outfit included which was announced? And i can disable the outfit restriction AFTER beating the game? Do i understand that very good?

And indeed, Rise of Tomb Raider need some fixes on DX12 too, everyone is expecting stutter and freezes at some moments.

It does not work in NG+, only after you beat the final boss.

[Sadira]

for everyone. the disabling of the restriction works ONLY after beating the final boss and ONLY on that save. NG+ does not take it with it. disabling it works only for the optional portions of the game, not for the main story

[Nymph]

Really? Not for NG+? geez, disappointed again.

[Jalet]

I have a freeze problem when change the preset graphics. i have a RTX 2080 Super this patch repair this?

please make a definitive edition for the game "Tomb Raider 2013" with the improved models and textures from consoles, it is unfair that console gamers can play that game with better graphics than pc gamers..

Well, only when the game is already finished. So you're already struggling with it for hours before then. It's a bit of a weird mechanic to maintain the narrative consistency.

I noticed the resolution modifier is available in fullscreen now - is this a new addition, along with AMD Fidelity FX sharpening?

Can you provide any details on how it scales - does the % relate to the % reduction on both the X&Y axis, or just pixel count %? Reason I ask is on my 1660 I can set game to my customer res of 3456 x 1944, which is 90% of 4K on each axis (I use this for games where I want to lock it to 30 but native 4K is just out of reach) - but I generally get better performance than if I set SOTR to 4K and put the internal scaling at 85%. Is it a simple bilinear upscale or is there a more advanced scaling method used?

Thank goodness! Now I can wear modern outfits. I'm getting sick and tired wearing tribal outfits! But why doesn't it apply for New Game+? Come on, seriously.

[Pandemic4444]

Still getting DX12 Device invalid call and other dx12 errors. please fix

[Mandy Lane]

during a cutscene, when fitness outfit selected does it show?
