Change the compatibility settings for Windows xp, if the problem is relevant, you will need more information, let me know if it works

Tried both service 2 and 3 and nothing worked ):

In the game launch properties, write -windowed -noborder

you can also try to install a collection of patches that solve most of the problems in the game itself

I found that if you change the affinity of Steam, the game will launch. Open Task Manager, right click on Steam and choose Set Affinity. Deselect some cores and then TRU will be able to run. There is no way to keep the setting, so everytime Steam is launched, this must be performed.

what OS?

Go Into your bios and see if you have hyper-threading enabled, if hyper-threading is enabled in the bios. Disable it and try starting your game again. i tried the affinity and messing with the core stuffz none of that worked, Until i disabled Hyper-Threading and it started right up, but i do recommend making a Launcher/setup shortcut just incase to fix any bugs or glitches. .

whats your System espacially, CPU??
Gamingwiki says, it has problems with too many cores

Edit:

yep, found this, should help you too:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/8140/discussions/0/4517757613974670621/

TL;DR:

setting Steams affinity to 8 cores:
open Task Manager > top right button: Details --> Right-Click on Steam.exe > Set Affinity: --> try 4 or 8 cores only
Dont worry, once you finished playing and reopened steam , all cores with be used again

AMD, ryzen 5 3600 6-core processer

I set it to 8 and it doesn't do anything, I just click play and it takes 2 seconds then the play button pops up again and nothing opens

sry to hear. i got the retail and im playing on my 2. older pc with phenom x² 965 windows 7 without any problems. i kept it for those older games for a reason

found this in the GoG forum':

I will share my work around on a B450E Asus Mainboard with AMD Ryzen 5700X and Asus Vega 56 Rog Strix with Window 11 Pro (before Update 24H2)

1. After downloading the Game get to the Game path (Right Mouse Click -> File path open)
Path name should be something like "C:\GOG Galaxy\Games\Tomb Raider Legend"

2. For Tomb Raider Legend (example) copy the "trl.exe" and set the copied version to "trlBackup" for example

3. After that Right Mouse Click -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Set the compatibility mode to Windows Vista

4. Go to Windows Settings -> System -> Info (last option) -> Extended Systemproperties (text color in blue) -> Go to the "Extend" tab att the third positiion -> Click Settings under the "Performance" part -> Data Execution Prevention menu -> add "C:\GOG Galaxy\Games\Tomb Raider Legend\trlBackup"

5. Make with Right Mouse Click on "trlBackup" -> Show extended options -> Send on -> Desktop a new Game link

Hope that somebody can use the information an can solve the problem with it

Work for me with Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary pretty well

Edit:
yes, he talks about Legend and anniversary, but since its the same engine, its worth a try

EDIT 2:

try this before :

"I have a 13980HX here, 24 core, 32 thread, and it would not launch at all and taskassign app to assingn just 2 cores to it wouldn't work.
I enabled Win XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode and it works perfectly on Win 11."


If you dont know howto do it, tell me
