PC: Crashing with Tessellation turned on

[kaivaal]

Hi all,

Don't see a post a post for this here, but quite a few people are having the issue in the Steam forums: http://steamcommunity.com/app/203160...6775319101286/. With tessellation turned on, the game crashes to the desktop randomly and frequently. Lots of the people with this issue are running a GTX 670. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia BETA drivers does not seem to help.

My specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
Driver: 314.07

+1 to tessellation bug (plus about 100 if you count the rest of people on the Steam forum! ;-) )

Seems to be mainly 6xx cards with the occasional 580 thrown in. :-/

Was perfect inside the cave, after that I'd say it crashes around every two minutes on average.

I exprecience the same issue, frequent crashes ( seems similar to driver crash yet only says TR has stopped working) after leaving the cave, however with a single GTX 680 (different driver made no difference).

Every setting is enabled or maxed out (except AA), no performance issues so far, however the crashes always happen after short periods of time...

[SkullyFM]

Had the same issue: crash after the cave with a GTX680. (my crash does actually freeze the PC and I have to manually reboot it)
Did disable "Exclusive Fullscreen" and it allowed me to pass the tree bridge but crashed just after.
Did disable "Tesselation" and I was able to play. (did the hunt and met with the others...) but the game is really ugly now.
I think I'll just wait until an official patch before continuing...

Edit: it looks like that installing 310.90 drivers instead of 314.07 or 314.14 does the trick too

[znam]

try 310.90 driver ... I always crash on new driver(314.14) and latest beta(313.96,314.07)
on driver 310.90 I played an hour without crash with enabled tessellations
performance is similar to new driver

[midad]

I too am having frequent game crashes with tessellation on.

I will give it a try. I have just installed it then Steam update nearly 2.2gb for my TR, maybe it is a DLC or maybe the update.

Also crashing here with a GTX670 and tessellation set to ON with the 314 drivers. Every time like clockwork right after the plane exiting the cave.

It looks like they really didn't tested the game on Nvidia cards enough...

It works fine with normal settings btw

[Metalrocks]

i have a radeon card, but even with it on, i had strong lagging wile playing. deactivating it surely did the trick for me as well.

[LaraCroftRocks]

It has some lagging towards the game but you have to put the graphics settings on normal if you have a NVIDIA card then it plays smoothly cause I really thought that I could play it on high instead putting it on normal was good enough for me cause the graphics are still outstanding to me actually

[Gixxerdude]

Same issue here, also posted on the steam forums.

For now have been able to stop the crashing, the falling through the world and the word Geometry issues by turning off Exclusive Fullscreen and V-sync and Tesslation. Still able to play on Ultra with those turned off, at least.

So there have been a few GTE's where it does not tell you which butten to press, it just uses a symbol of a Red X even though you've never had to use those buttons before (F) is the one you need.

GTX 670ftw
Latest WHQL drivers

[Asard]

I start by turning off Depth of Field o TressFX hair.
But there were still problems.

I solved my problem by turning off Tessellation.
Has played for 3 hours now without lockups.
I run with 680 cards Driver Beta 314.14

[tensor9]

After installing the first patch, Tessellation still causes crashes on NVIDIA 660Ti (beta 314.14 drivers).
