EIDOS Montreal and Nixxes have released a hotfix for Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s patch 4. According to the release notes, this hotfix addresses the crashes when using the NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080 or RTX2080Ti GPUs with specific driver and OS versions. These instant crashes really frustrated us and were present only when DX12 was enabled.
Moreover, this hotfix comes with a fix for visual corruption and flickering particles and waterfalls on certain GPU hardware and driver versions, as well as a fix for audio issues introduced by patch 235.3, related to the use of Windows Spatial Audio for Dolby Atmos. Steam will download this hotfix the next time you launch its client.
