===Performance boost for quad-core CPUs (and higher core count)===
{{Fixbox/fix|Bypass mashing keys}}
+
{{ii}} This tweak reportedly yields a higher framerate in seemingly CPU-heavy areas like the Shantytown hub through better core utilization.
{{ii}} You can replace key mashing QTE for just one key press, however you need gaming mouse or keyboard software with ability to create macros.
 
{{ii}} This guide contains only general directions. Actual process may vary as there are several versions of gaming software.
 
  
'''1.''' Open you macro/gaming software and create new macro.
+
{{Fixbox|description=Registry tweak for multi-core (4+ cores) CPUs|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/615700-tomb-raider/65923914|title=Official performance boost from crystal dynamics!!! Check inside!|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=
 
+
# Go to {{Registry|{{p|hkcu}}\Software\Crystal Dynamics\Tomb Raider\Graphics}}
'''2.''' Record single key press and make sure there are delays between action at least 20ms. It should look something like this for E key:
+
# Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named {{Registry|MultiCoreFlushMode}} and set it to <code>1</code>.
 
+
{{ii}} In the Linux version, this option is already automatically applied.{{CN|date=November 2016}}
<pre>
 
Key E down
 
20ms delay
 
Key E up
 
20ms delay
 
</pre>
 
 
 
'''3.''' Set this macro to your desired key and set option to "repeat macro as long as pressed".
 
 
 
{{ii}} If your macro is not working properly, try increasing delay as some systems won't recognize key presses if they are too fast.
 
 
}}
 
}}
  
===Benchmark mode===
+
===Force DirectX 9 renderer on DirectX 11 systems===
{{ii}} Benchmark mode generates a file named: <code>benchmarkresults yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss.txt</code>
+
{{ii}} Forcing DirectX 9 on Windows may result in better performance on some systems. However DirectX-11-specific features (tessellation, TressFX) will be disabled. These steps are not for OS X or Linux (the game will not work correctly).

Issues fixed

Incorrect UI/HUD placement

The November 2021 update that brought with it Epic Online Services for the multiplayer infrastructure also broke various UI/HUD positions.
Workaround: restore game to an older version[14]
  1. Launch Steam in desktop mode.
  2. Open the Library, Right Click on the game and select Properties.
  3. On the Betas tab, select build743.0 - TR Build 1.01.743.0 in the drop-down menu.
  4. Click Close to save the changes and allow the Steam client to downgrade the game.

Voice over language setting is not saved

Registry edit to change game language
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Crysal Dynamics\Tomb Raider\.
  2. Find the VOLanguage key and double click it.
  3. Change the value to the following list below:
    • a for Russian
    • e for Arabic
    • 0 for English
    • 1 for French
    • 2 for German
    • 3 for Spanish
    • 4 for Italian
    • 6 for Japanese
    • 9 for Polish

Endurance Boss glitch freeze (high FPS Issue)

Cap the frame rate at 60 FPS[15]

Camera does not turn in multiplayer mode

There is no permanent solution. This fix will work until exiting the game.
Go to Graphics Options and change resolution, refresh rate, or toggle exclusive fullscreen mode.[16][17]

Performance boost for quad-core CPUs (and higher core count)

This tweak reportedly yields a higher framerate in seemingly CPU-heavy areas like the Shantytown hub through better core utilization.
Registry tweak for multi-core (4+ cores) CPUs[20]
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Dynamics\Tomb Raider\Graphics
  2. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named MultiCoreFlushMode and set it to 1.
In the Linux version, this option is already automatically applied.[citation needed]

Force DirectX 9 renderer on DirectX 11 systems

Forcing DirectX 9 on Windows may result in better performance on some systems. However DirectX-11-specific features (tessellation, TressFX) will be disabled. These steps are not for OS X or Linux (the game will not work correctly).
DX9 renderer[21]
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Dynamics\Tomb Raider\Graphics
  2. Modify the RenderAPI value to 9.

Notes

Revert to 0 for DX11, anything else will result in DX11 renderer with some DX11 features disabled.
