Tomb Raider PC - TressFX will be fully playable
Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/09/2013 10:16 AM | 20 comment(s) ]
A member of Tomb Raider's development team called Jason, Nixxes and Nvidia are currently working on the first patch of Tomb Raider for the PC, and promised that they will be releasing iterative patches in the coming days to try and address many of the reported issues. Jason has also revealed that he's also been reading many of the comments regarding simulation issues and that there will be some improvements over TressFX.
I just wanted to message the community to let you guys know that we are actively reading your comments and issues, and will be releasing iterative patches in the coming days to try and address many of these issues.
Regarding TressFX specifically, please remember that this feature was designed with top end cards in mind, and even last year's model cards may struggle with it. I've also been reading many of the comments regarding simulation issues. Know that I'm actively working on trying to sort this out as best I can. I've tightened collision with the character as much as possible, which hopefully will help a little. We are also looking at simulation issues with hair spazzing out during camera cuts and erratic movements, and will hopefully have a fix for this as well soon. Lastly, we'll try to weight down the hair simulation a little more, as many of you find the current implementation "too floaty".
It may take a few days, but know that someone is actively working on these things. And thank you for your continued support.

This is great to see. Its not often you hear from developers so quickly to reassure the public that they are listening and actively working on patches like this. I'm impressed.

Plays well and looks great, so many comments about it coming too late LOL, you fellas must run through your games, second playthrough is always best anyways, not that i've personallly even really started much with this game.

Nice!
2x ssaa with sweetfx LumaSharpen @ 1.00 and high quality texture filtering is the way to go, runs nicely and looks pretty incredible really. I've said this in the other thread but it just looks so good haha, especially indoor areas, caves and at night.

A new patch out on steam for it but the flickering Uberhair is still there for me but the benchmark now gives much higher lowest fps in the 50s.
The trouble with this game is its short I had a ball playing it but its short so when a feature like the Uberhair is unplayable its a great shame because now ive finished the game.
AMD created the feature and its just a great shame it doeasnt work on my AMD cards lol.
It should of worked from day 1 seeing as it only takes a day to complete the game.

I had no issues with TressFX at launch, it ran like butter.
It only struggled a little bit when the hair is moving all over the place.

I like it thus far, no issue with my AMD GPU rigs, and the little I'd played of it on my FX8350 + 2x GTX670 rig was just a little buggy. The cutscene cinematics at the beginning was stuttery at best, but once you start playing as Lara, it was pretty smooth......@1080P at Ultimate preset.

in my opinion it looks better in screenshots,
but when i play, the hair movement is very weird, and there is a visible distance between hair and shoulders
