Tomb Raider Multipatch

[Marieta Reeks]

AlphaTesting NVIDIA Fix integrated in your patch in the future would be greatly appreciated (regardless if messing around with dgvoodoo or not). If it's easily done as you said (at least in TR3)... would just be a great and important improvement of the playability status of classic Tomb Raider games.

While some of the instances of the bugged textures remain predominantly aesthetic, the wretched invisible barbed wire thing really breaks gameplay to an extent in the already somewhat difficult levels of the games affected by this. You will just run into certain death at times, tiles below you that seemed "jumpable" will just result in unnecessary Lara kills & frequent frustration and so on.

Hello, I can't get tomb raider 4 to work. I have the GOG version.

It crashes on launch, saying that directx failed to setup.

I applied the multipatch.

Error log attached.

Thank you for your work!

Program is already updated though?

I can access setup, but many resolutions are missing (1080p for example).

If I launch the game normally, without your program, it launches but crashes after the EIDOS screen. Also, setup gives all resolutions.

After downloading , double clicking on the help.exe just brings back a message 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item'.

The very weird thing is that it then also removes the help.exe from wherever I have extracted it to - I don't know what it does with it...

Hello Peixoto! My name is Blade Darkeden! Before I start, I just want to commend and thank you for making such an awesome patching system for these old games. Your work is helping to keep many of these old treasures alive. Now, on to the matter at hand. Just a few days ago, I updated the Patch and have come across at least 2 problems so far. The first lies with Tomb Raider The Last Revelation and Tomb Raider Chronicles. Everytime I go to play the game with your patch, it gives me a Failed to Setup DirectX error. I've tried everything from going through the setup for both games respectively to patching it with the Multipatch. I feel like the Multipatch would work except, everytime I replace the old exe with the new ones, it gives me a No CD Retry error (I have the Steam edition of the game if that tells you anything) which forces me to use the exe supplied by Steam. For the time being, I'm able to play these two games fairly well without the patch right now, so it isn't really a big deal, but I thought I'd let you know. The second problem is with Tomb Raider III. Ever since I updated the patch, everything appears zoomed in and set in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. I've supplies screenshots as well as the error log for you. I don't expect you to take care of these problems anytime soon, for I too am a very busy person, but if there's anyway you could give insight as to what is causing these problems, I would very much appreciate it! Thanks again, for all your hard work!

Edit: I also tried Tomb Raider 2, Golden Mask, and the Lost Artifact and they're also acting up in the same manner as Tomb Raider 3. Plus Tomb Raider 2's fmvs are skipping automatically (At least the HQ ones) even though I have the K-Lite Codec Pack installed. Thought this might help in troubleshooting the issue.

Whenever i try to launch the shortcut to Tomb Raider 2 that i created from the help.exe, i get an error message that says "C:\Games\Tomb Raider II\Tomb2.exe is not a valid Windows 32 or 64 bit program", i'm running the steam version on Windows 10 and have all the patch updates copied into the game files. Any idea what I should do Peixoto?

Okay! I think I can do that for Tomb Raider 4 and 5. But will that also fix the Issues with the other games that I mentioned? Like I said, I tested Tomb Raider 2, Golden Mask, 3, and Lost Artifact and those all are the ones that I was able to update with the Multipatch. But even still, no matter what resolution I choose with or without the "Force Native Resolution" option, every one of those games play zoomed into the top left and I have no idea on how to resolve this issue at the moment. I even tried fresh reinstalls and that didn't work either. Everything was working great with the previous version of the patch, so I'm confused at this point. Any ideas? Oh! And thank you for replying! I really appreciate the help!

Update: So I made an Iso for both Tomb Raider 4 and 5 to work with the Multipatch and I'm happy to say that it worked! However, there are still a few problems... Just like the other games, everything is zoomed in to where I can only see part of the fullscreen and for both games, if I don't activate Non-exclusive Fullscreen, whether I have the HQ FMVs or not, I get a perpetual black screen in which I have to restart my PC. Also, when I start TR5 with Non-Exclusive Fullscreen active, it'll play the Eidos Logo FMV and after that the game crashes. I even tried playing in Windowed mode for both games and it gave me the dreaded Failed to Setup DirectX error. I don't know if it's the patch or something I have to tweak in my graphics settings, but so far, I'm just completely puzzled. Anyway, hope this narrows it down for you! Thanks again!
