[UNhooked]

Sometime back I remember someone posting a registry fix for tombraider that greatly improved gameplay and now I can't seem to find it.

Hi guys,
Just registered to post this info here. It comes from Tomb Raider forums.
Try to add the following key to your registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Dynamics\Tomb Raider\Graphics]
"MultiCoreFlushMode"=dword:00000001"

What does this fix in Tomb Raider?

The slowdowns in several locations. Even with the most powerful CPU, I got weird fps drops way below 60. This fix improved performance dramatically in these spots.

Any thread detailing it's effects?

That one is kind of short. Maybe something from TombRaider forums with lots of people doing the hack to see whether there are any potentiali problems we can run into .

That is what I was hoping to hear.

Ya but there must be a megathread out there somewhere? Usually when someone posts a fix like this there are hundereds of people that apply it in a forum. The DarkSouls fix, I've got others bookmarked actually but too lazy to find them haha.

Just tried it myself. In 2D, the worst place in the past only dip to about 60 FPS now, which is much better. In 3D Vision, FPS is dipping into the 30's 🙁 It is still better than before. It is odd that the CPU seems to have to do its thing for each eye in 3D Vision, most games don't usually suffer a double CPU bottleneck in 3D. The good news for 3D Vision users it that they fixed the crosshairs. They are now in full 3D and look awesome.

that registry fix was automatically added in the May 22nd game patch.


New fixes in 748.0:

- Fixed problem with Mountaineer, Sure-Shot, and Demolition outfits not properly unlocking when no other DLC is installed.
- Fixed TressFX Hair not being able to be turned on, on some machines, when using AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA Surround.
- Significant performance improvements in CPU limited areas, for example in Shanty Town. (This is the same fix we have previously exposed to users on forums with the MulticoreFlushMode registry key).
- Fixed water polygons randomly disappearing on Intel graphics hardware.
- Fix problem with English VO setting when playing in Japanese not properly being remembered after a restart.
- Minor UI improvements.
