Use abload.de and remember to take screenshots in PNG instead of JPG.
Use an Australian VPN.
Did you end up fixing your game save or did you lose it and start all over again?

Very good on both fronts, borrowed and completed a friends copy over the weekend and was quite impressed throughout.
As for my thoughts on the game, I will probably get the PC version in a steam sale down the line somewhere as its too short for me to justify a full price purchase but this is a good enough game to be part of my library I think. It's reminiscent of the Hitman Absolution situation for me what with the traditional setup is being pushed aside in favour of "telling a story" (except TR plays far better than Absolution)- they've made a solid base to build off in the future but its also sufficiently different that it may not be to the tastes of the older fanbase. Definitely missed swimming personally (underlined by Lara's hilarious instant death sequences whenever she drops into the sea) but if they add in some of the old series complexities I can definitely see this working moving forwards and I dislike reboots on general principle.
IQ in the twitch PC livestream looks better than on consoles.

The gifs were captured at 720p and then shrunk again for gif file size. HD gifs tomorrow, it's 1am
I fixed it and will finish the game today.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
When the camera reorientates itself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhZ9buNW8uc) you can see what I mean about the lighting on the ponytail. Looks off, like (as another user said) it's lit by a phong shader and not really responsive to the game world's lighting.
I think it's fixable though. The effect is neat, it just needs to be tweaked.

The movement of the hair in that raining scene looked pretty good, imo. But I'm on a work monitor, so take that as you will.
What are your specs, Diehard?

Game in general. Only lasting about 1-2 minutes now even though I got a good half hour in before it started
Stream is not mine. I only have PS3 version.

If I use an Australian VPN what needs to be done during that process? Do I just click on the install and then log out and install back on my normal IP or do I need to actually buy it there? The screenshot the L.O.R.D. posted looks quite nice in terms of the hair, strands!
Maybe Alice Madness Returns, as well. Her hair was excellent in that.
What the fuck are we talking about.
Welp so long console bad hair day thread, off I go.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Isn't that every modern western game under the sun?
- Close Steam
- Log onto theVPN service and get the Australian IP
- Check your IP address to make sure that your IP has changed accordingly
- Start Steam
- Start Tomb Raider - it will now unlock
- After it has unlocked, start the game, and switch Steam to offline mode
- Go back to your regular IP address
- Make sure that next time you start Steam that you have no internet connection so that it will automatically start in offline mode. Otherwise it will revert the unlock.

Yeah you can see that in the bench mark. It is pretty cool.
Sorry for off-topic, but can they be disabled in Far Cry 3? I'm interested in that game, but such popups annoy me a lot.
A recent patch allows you to disable whatever you want, yes.
You can't disable modern gaming.

Can't say I'm surprised this new features performs shittily. Even now, Physx often means like a drop of up to 30fps in a lot games. It's just not worth it.
Lol weave confirmed.
At least that's an improvement of the manure-pile of brown mesh :lol

Thanks a million mate, will try in a minute. Do wonder though, can I do the same thing but instead of using a VPN just have my friend over there unlock it with my account?
No, it needs to be local from your own machine.
I've done that an hour ago, Im' in France.
Checked IP, steam showed the usual window "available now", but game still in preload...
Mmmm...

To anyone who has the PS3 version, is there any framerate slowdown?

30fps rocksolid except in few situations. Game runs great on PS3.
Game really is not QTE heavy. After an hour or two they all but disappear.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I just can't get past the terrible voice actress. She sounds even worse in gameplay clips I've seen recently. I can't imagine a whole game of it, no matter how good it gets. I can't just turn off my ears.

THE HAIR IS ALIVE! Seriously, looks like it has a life of its own.
Close Steam and start it up again.
