Hi,

From the information provided we can see that you are using an unsupported operating system. It is possible that we will not be able to resolve the issue, however we have some suggestions that may help.

We first suggest changing your window manager to GNOME to see if that helps, as this is the default window manager in the supported Ubuntu distro.

You can also try deleting the Preferences file. This is located in the following file path:

~/.local/share/feral-interactive/Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Once in the location, drag the file named Preferences to your Trash, then launch Steam and then the game. A new Preferences file will be created on the relaunch, which will be the default settings for the game. This may clear the issue that you are seeing.

The only other suggestion we can make is to run the game on the fully tested and supported #Linux distro, Ubuntu LTS. If that is not possible, we can only recommend that you try running the game using Proton.

Please let us know how this goes.

Best regards,

Gerard McAuley

That kernel has more sense than me ...

When 32GB isn't enough, it only means one thing: I should do something sensible.

Shadow of #TombRaider #Linux version with #Vulcan rendering consume all memory ?!?

I created Gentoo Ebuild package for GemRB 🏰 -
open-source engine that allow to play ⚔️
Planescape:Torment 🔮 and Baldur's Gate 🌀 1 and 2,
Icewind Dale ❄️.

I updated it to version 0.9.4 with SDL2. SDL1 is not
supported for this version. Compilation fails with many
internal errors.
