If you want the best graphics, DX12 with Raytracing, It will randomly run at 10fps, especially during and after some 'cutscenes' or scripts
My mouse would not move the game until I press Escape and then Escape again
Using Dx12 'Enhanced Edition' mode, Would randomly make the game run at 10fps
The game randomly getting stuck at 10fps after some cutscenes in DX12 mode kills the fun, rather play it on Windows. Also, it stutters really badly, frametimes are terrible.
Half the performance as Windows
Literally runs half the framerate as windows on the same settings
Half the performance as Windows
Randomly crashes with the Native version. Gives Vulkan errors "VKWaitForFences Failed"
Native version randomly crashes every 10-30 minutes with Vulkan errors. Ontop of that, the Native version does not have graphical features that the Windows game has, such as DX12 enhancements, Ray Tracing, among others.
So I ended up using the game via Proton, and that fixed the crashing error But I could not play with DX12 option set, it would crash instantly upon launch. I want the additional graphical features and Ray tracing, so I wanted to fix DX12
To fix the game crashing on DX12, I had to download ProtonTricks.
From ProtonTricks,
Protontricks > Shadow of tomb raider > Install default prefix option > Choose d3dcompiler_47 from list > OK
Now the game runs with DX12! Weird, why isnt that set by default?
So the game is playable after initial crashing and time wasting and tinkering, once its up and running and fixed it plays fine, but its not an amazing first impression.
