[13-11-2018] PC Patch Notes for patch 1.0.237.6 (Patch #6)

[Nixxes_Official]

We have just released the sixth PC patch for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, build 1.0.237.6. This patch focuses primarily on the first DLC release: The Forge.

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. If your game does not start properly after downloading this update, please verify the integrity of your Steam game files.

Hotfix

We have updated build 237.6 with fixes for the following issues:

• Fix for crashes on start up reported by a number of users.
  
• Fix for crashes reported by a number of users when accessing the side-missions screen.

Fixes included in this patch

• New content added by purchasing “The Forge” DLC : The Echoes of the Past Side Mission, the Forge of Destiny Challenge Tomb, new skill, new outfits and new weapons.
  
• Matchmaking & friend invite for the new cooperative gameplay functionality added with the Forge of Destiny Challenge Tomb.
  
• New Achievements added for the new DLC content.
  
• New game modes: Score Attack and Time Attack – Replay the challenge tombs you discovered in new challenging ways and get additional rewards.
  
• You are now able to switch between different audio output settings. This reenables support for Dolby Atmos.
  
• Many smaller stability and functionality 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 236.1, 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!

As others have reported, while the hotfix solved the problem of the crashes when selecting the quest tab, I am experiencing the same problem with game freezes now. Specifically, this happened reproducibly when I tried to investigate a mural in Paititi. The game just stopped in the middle of tha animation of Lara wiping the mural. The only way out of this was a hard reset. Of note, the game ran fine (including murals etc.) for ca. 2h before that.

As noted by moolumbo and others, switching off DirectX12 solved the issue but at the cost of a quite heavy impact on performance. Apparantely, the game did not register this freeze as a crash though, as no minidumps had been created.

Almost 24 hrs later, and still experiencing crashes; specifically when digging up survival caches and/or reading monoliths or murals. Turning off DirectX 12 doesn't help, at least not for me. I've already posted (yesterday) files needed to correct this problem. What is going on? Haven't we learned to apply theory to practice yet? You're allowing paying gamers the right to complain and be somewhat bitter. It's been 24 hours.

Playing The Forge and cannot shoot or craft fire arrows. I have 4 in inventory. Started the DLC it allowed me to craft and shoot a fire arrow at the blocked gate and the first time at the swinging pendulum. Restarted the DLC and now will not let me arm or craft fire arrows??? Bug or any help would be appreciated.

Merci au developpeur pour le soutient apres la sortie du jeu. J'aimerais parler des futurs DLCs sans doute vos plan son déja etabli mais je parle en tant que FAN et pour plusieurs sans doute!

Serait-il possible d'avoir au moin les shorts Classic de lara en tant que ''outfit'' dans un des contenu avenir du season pass et utilisé différente méchanique pour chaque DLCs (tombeau jouable)

deja dans The Forge :

    - Time attack
    - Score attack

* dans les futurs/''Nexts'' :

    - Endurance (SOTTR)
    - COOP 2 Laras
    - Team fight (something like TR2013)
    - CROFT MANOR
    - ''again'' SHORT oufit

Un ou tous ses élements serait directement aprécié et considéré venant des FANS et pour la diversités de tout les autres joueurs également.

Is it downloading 2Gb because the DLC is included or is it just the patchnote?
What if you didn't buy the DLC? Does it download it anyway but it's locked?

reading the actual patch notes indicated that the DLC content files are included with the patch, but only become accessible via purchase of the DLC. Personally I despise this kind of action on the developer/publisher's part. Don't hog my HDD with gigabytes worth of game files that I haven't decided whether i want to purchase yet or not. Wait till I actually purchase the DLC before pushing files onto my computer, please.

[POKKET]

Why is that every time there's a patch. .my fps drops? I just added gtx 1070 Ti to play this...wtf.

U get the DLC-files bc u can join a coop-game - even if u did not purchase the DLC.
If u don't want the DLC-files u can simply go back 2 the previous build.

uhhhh i tried to go on today after putting the beta in place because im not gonna be using the dlc, anyway, and the game just wouldnt register my controller at all. steam was understanding it just fine, it was just the game. i used the beta to avoid these problems altogher but apparently it just makes it literally unplayable. ive put the orginal back in and hopefully itll work this time, maybe try taking off directx12. ughhhhh i shouldnt just waited 6 months before buying but i was too impatient

[Dr.80]

redownloaded this fokin game, still freezing. really ♥♥♥ devs. game is freezing after every 2 collectibles. eat dirt stupid cun 7s and fix this fokin game

[ktneumann]

So I've found that something that actually helps, ridiculously, for those freezes is literally just pausing for a second or 2 before reading any murals, monoliths, or getting any caches. Especially if you just ran and jumped and maneuvered your way to it. It's like the game just needs a second to process. It has cut down my crashes quite a bit so far. Lets see if it holds up

EDIT I take it back it literally just froze twice in a row

There still happen to be audio cuts (disappearing for about a second) even after the update, usually when there seems to be loading involved in cutscenes, although not as much as before this patch. The audio cut is also present in the game replay feature provided by the GPU, so it’s the game actually failing to deliver the audio.

An instance of this happening is right after killing Dominguez, when the cutscene fades to white to show the Manor the audio drops for a second.

Changing audio channel doesn’t solve it either.

Desde la actualización, hay momentos donde saco el dial de armas o el de las hierbas para potenciar sentidos y se ven pixeles verdes y se entre corta las imagenes eso antes no me pasaba. y lo juego en Ultra a 50fps estables, el equipo no es , lo muevo con Ryzen 5 1600 y una Radeon RX580 8GB y 16GB RAM.
Nose a mi me a empeorado el juego con esta actulización espero lo solucionen, ya que es molesto hasta apuntando con el arma le pasa.

They developled DLC instead of RTX now I am super suspicious about RTX technology Is it coming or not? the *uck? is it even coming out within next year? jesus christ

[NordWinter87]

I never had any technical issues with the game up until now. I finished the game twice before. But since this update i get DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG everytime when i go underwater from the end of Mountai temple to Cenote (RTX2080).

EDIT: Looks like disabling DX12 solves the problem, but come on... Fix this, please!
