My game was also crashing constantly in the cave area. Turning off VSync seemed to help.
Found a borderless window app that works without the screen going gray when you get shot.

It works perfectly for me, where the other one didn't. Good find!
I have been waiting for a complete workaround or patch. Thanks! Now my AMD troubles are all at an end!

Very nice this works great (GTX 480).

Nvidia is aiming to get drivers out "late(r) this month", while Nixxes hasn't said a word since pulling the first patch.
Ahh ok, guess i'll be trying that out if i do a 2nd play-through then :/

Interesting, made me research a little, and made myself my own tool (in autohotkey) ;p

This game is completely unplayable for me. Hope they stand by their word and fix it.

So sad I don't have better GPU, 60fps -> 30fps when "zooming in" with bow and assault rifle with tressFX on though.
Same here, even with a GTX 680. I keep it off just for a constant 60fps.

Shame I'm still getting horrible looking flicker on foliage. Only started happening during the daylight stuff, and only on foliage. Running on normal, on a GTX 560 on 314.07 drivers.

To bad you can't "PhysX" it like people did when they had ATI card, they just put in an extra GTX 8800 to run the PhysX on that ;p

I can finally play in exclusive fullscreen mode.. I couldn't before.. performance increased nicely too.. great patch.
Just need a couple more and an updated driver from nvidia and things should be awesome.

Ponytail behaves a lot better but it still goes wild when climbing ledges
I didn't realize but this game runs my card about 10C hotter than anything else I have. It's crazy
It'd be pretty difficult to avoid clipping into the weapons.

Also, the hair collision detection on her shoulders is way better, but it glitches right through the bow and quiver, which makes the improvement kind of pointless

Having exclusive fullscreen ticked in or out makes no difference for me, still the same result on both.
Yeah, absolutely. It's just that this effect is already very much about improving minute details, so it's more jarring than it usually would be. But this is not really a complaint from me, I love the effect as extra eye candy. I'd rather have it clipping through the weapons than not have it at all.

Yeah, full screen effects are fixed.

here is the TressFX hair after the patch, video is still processing though.

Oh, so that's what happened to the execution/skinning strawberry jam...
I thought they took it out

The TressFx effect is better, the bug with the Exclusive fullscreen has been fixed and all the light effects are now enabled with this patch.
But with my GTX680, according to benchmark of the title screen, the framerate is still the same.

TressFX still murders performance in cutscenes on Nvidia though. I guess I'll wait for a new driver and see if they're able to improve performance. I should be able to play without fancy hair, but I just know it's going to bug me during play. Yes, I know I need help
Glad to see that's not just me. I can get a constant 30FPS with TressFX in during gameplay but this drops to around 20 or even lower with cutscenes.
Is it some weird LOD thing? Are they applying more shadows perhaps? I wish it was possible to tweak the hair further if so so I wouldn't have to keep just turning it off every time I got to a cutscene.
Bullshit performance even with good AMD-cards. Using a 6870 even without TressFX and tesselation the framerate is far too low considering how it looks. Looks good, but nowhere near THAT good. Does the framerate still dip by half when the camera is up close to lara?

Does anyone else get a black screen during the pre-intro where I guess the ship is sinking? I get video later when I wash up on shore, but the first minute or so is completely black but with sound.
Awesome that they fixed the main issues with the game so fast btw.
Edit:this seems to affect all fmvs in the game. This sucks.

The new patch is awesome lol.
I never noticed I was missing all those screen effects until I ran the game after the patch. The most obvious one was all the blood spurt effects that came when skinning animals or getting injured.
On the other hand, the post processing option is the most obnoxious thing ever, switching it on makes the game even more of a blurry mess, why would anyone want it on lol, the camera blur is too much.
You'll want to protect her indeed lol.

I think the number of simulation points per strand increases as the camera gets closer in, which makes sense.
When did the patch go live? I was playing late last night and I swore I was seeing post effects I hadn't seen before. It's too bad I probably only have an hour or so left in the campaign. Will still go back for some collectibles.
Hair looks more realistic in strong wind, I think. It doesn't flap as erratically as before.

Yes.
Got the new patch, cranked everything up to maximum.. I got the "censor blur" hair and about 10fps. Turned off Tress and got 30fps. Turned down to FXAA, back at 60fps, with everything maxxed out except Tessellation (waiting until they officially announce that they've fixed it before I turn it on).
