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

The Windows version lacks the dynamic shadows of the Dreamcast version.

On Windows 8 and later, the game does not display properly in fullscreen; use the fullscreen border fix to resolve this. The GOG.com version does not require this fix.

Essential improvements

Multi-Patch

The unofficial Tomb Raider Multi Patch fixes several issues with the game. DirectX 9.0c end-user runtimes are required.

Peixoto's patch

Fixes lag when accessing the inventory
Aspect ratio and field of view correction in widescreen resolutions; forced resolution allows high resolution without shrinking the HUD/menus
Hides the window border on Windows 10, improves compatibility with XInput gamepads
Fixes the missing loading screens

TRNG

TRNG is a fan made update to the game's included level editor with a lot more features than the original one.

Tomb Raider Mouse Helper

A utility which allows controlling Lara with the mouse. It also maps the WASD keys to enable a more modern, keyboard+mouse control scheme.

Skip intro videos

Delete Fmv0.bik and FMV1.bik found in <path-to-game>\movie[citation needed]

Notes

The copyright screen will still be shown.

Opening the launcher

After the first time launching the game, the launcher will not show up again.

Run the game with the -setup command line argument.[citation needed]

Notes

  1. ↑ SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows 10[1] or Windows 11 and is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed.[2]
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/225000/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (225000) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
