Working great in SD and NG mode.

Frame rate increased alittle in NG mode on my card anyway. (Tweak with X800 Pro)

Thanks Jay, downloading now...

A walk button! Yay!

[Mark_]

Yes! I just installed it and I've been playing. The walk button is cool.

Exactly what I was thinking.

A walk button - I am so pleased for all you PC users.

I felt quite sorry for you all, seeing the threads of frustration when the game came out and Lara could only sneak or run.

[dhama]

All we need now is a 'Zip' button...... preferably in the off setting.

[wakkawakka7262]

Yes indeed!

Does it contain Patch 1.1 or does it need to go on top of it?

I didn't install patch 1.1. I installed the 1.2 version yesterday and it works fine. So you don't need to install the first patch.

i noticed some crashes in the kazakstan level with the next-gen mode , no problem without NG , i had already same problem with the 1.1.

my config :

Pentium D 950 @ 3,4 GHZ
2GB DDR2
winxp pro x 64 SP1
Nvidia 7900 GTX and 91.28 x 64 drivers.

Some other people are victims of these crashes on my forum.

If that's the case, I'm sorry for their ears.

1.2 patch already contains modifications of the previous version , not necessary to install 1.1 before 1.2.

[Alexlovesguns]

Considering the game doesnt have much replay value this patch arrives late .

Can someone tell me if it fixes the bad textures like the kazakstan motorcycle level or the face of the dead girl in Peru??
Can we view all the unlockable objects without the game crashing?
Will it screw up our saves?

Because otherwise i wont bother with this patch...

[Luc [TRO]]

yes : you can now see these objects without crash
no eidos information about that but savegames seems to be compatible.

[puppeteer]

Wow the patch has improved performance 100% I still get lil lockups but I think that can be worked out in driver releases I wish I stuck with ATI because Nvidia really sucks with thier driver releases ATI is guaranteed 1x a month Nvidia has had the same drivers for the past 2 plus months
Next GEN I am going back to ATI.

From what I've read on the various forums, I must be the only one in the world who has a problem with the latest patch. Seemed to install without a hitch and when I went to the control configuration, "Walk" was there with "Ctrl" as the default key to use. However when I go to the game and hit the key nothing happens. I've uninstalled the patch and game and reinstalled both with the same results. Any ideas????? Thanks in advance

[Luc [TRO]]

no there is already some problems with the new patch, just out , more problems in a few days

KEYB only : it's CTRL left , you can configure to CTRL right at the same time in the config menu ...

there is still a problem with this action :
if you're using a joypad analog or not, you can't combine it with the CTRL key on the keyboard,
you can't program it correctly on the pad by exemple WALK = "run" + other BUTTON like old TR game...

Thanks, i dont really care if Lara walks or sneaks though.
My main issue with the game was the corrupted textures found in some levels, any word on those? They were the one big thing that pissed me off about the game .

Initially my Walk action was not defined. As far as I can tell, the Walk action is to be used in combination with the Forward action. I ended up using Shift for the Walk action, so now I use Shift (ie Walk) and Forward to walk, like the classic controls. I hope this helps.

[Alexlovesguns]

Just gave it a try, Sarahs face texture is still messed up, after 2 patches? I havent tried the other locations but i guess they didnt bother .

edit:
Tried the Japan level, can still see thru Nishimuras glasses .

Thanks Ruum, that did the trick......I suppose it should have been rather obvious, but again thanks just the same!

Does that patch allow the X800 users to activate the NG mode in Legend, or is there a secret tweak?

Tks in advance!
