Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered has already been available for a while and now it is receiving its first big patch. It was time to fix these very big bugs!
Lara Croft has been back, or almost, since February. The beautiful Englishwoman returned from a deep sleep with, no longer a new adventure, but a first collection of her travel memories. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered takes the first three episodes of the adventurer and brings them up to date while retaining a lot of things from the time. If the graphic smoothing of the models, the new textures and the lighting effects are obvious, almost everything else is from the period! Even some bugs and glitches for that matter. As a bonus, the restoration of its cult games did not go smoothly, a few glitches crept in here and there. However, the studio is on the spot, the proof.
A first big patch, Lara repairs her games

Aspyr announced the arrival of a first patch on all platforms and the latter intends to correct the biggest problems of the game. Starting with some texture problems which did not appear in HD as expected.

Other fixes are applied here and there, particularly regarding certain lighting effects or crashes.

We also hope that some features, such as a simple native chapter selection, will end up being incorporated at some point. In the meantime, here are the first patch notes for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered on PS5, Xbox Series, PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
