Tomb Raider: Legend is a singleplayer third-person action, adventure, puzzle, TPS and shooter game in the Tomb Raider series.

The "Next Generation Content" option enables enhanced graphics based on the Xbox 360 release, but has bugs such as missing wetness effects on Lara as well as misaligned ropes and vines.[citation needed]

Issues fixed

Crash at startup

Fix Data Execution Prevention setting[citation needed]

Ensure Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is set to the default (Windows programs and services only).

Random crashing

Use fixed executable[8]
  1. Download the fixed executable (Retail, Steam).
  2. Copy the executable to <path-to-game>.
Disable Next generation content in the display options

Steam overlay not working

Game does not support the Steam overlay by default.
Add testapp.exe or trl.exe from the installation folder to the library as a non-Steam game

Buggy AI, enemies get stuck

Enable V-Sync and set refresh rate to 60 Hz in the setup launcher

Sound clicks and pops during gameplay

Use any option to set affinity of the game's process (trl.exe) to one CPU thread[9]
  • Options for controlling process CPU affinity vary from using Windows Task Manager to applications like Prio and System Explorer which allow you to save affinity values of a process between launches.
  • Another option is to use setaffinity application to patch the game's executable with a CPU affinity mask. This will force the game to always run on the specified CPU thread without further need to set affinity manually or keep some application running in the background.
Depending on your CPU this may negatively affect the game's performance since you are limiting it to run on one CPU thread.
