Shadow of the Tomb Raider

What works

Playing the game through smoothly

Graphics are fully functional but some glitches were observed

Works with Radeon Open Source Drivers (RADV) on "High" to "Highest" graphics ("High" is recommended, the defaults the game is giving me).

Setting everything to max is possible without introducing more graphics glitches, but then there is a higher likelyhood of graphics stalling (FPS also goes down a bit, obviously)

The stability of the game is good

What does not

I don't know how it is on Windows, I just bought the game and hoped it would work, but here are the glitches observed:

- In one cut-scene and in the following gameplay minutes one characters chest is not rendered, but that recovered without restarting the game

- The game crashed once in a cut-scene

- In some cases the sound started to be choppy after playing for a long time. Restarting helps.

- Bushes sometimes flicker

- In cut-scenes and in scenes where a lot of things change it seems the rendering hangs sometimes (it's less likely with lower graphics settings)

- D3D12 cannot be enabled

Workarounds

I compiled and installed DXVK in order to map D3D11 to Vulkan

What was not tested

Side quests and challenge tombs

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: AMD
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

I like that the game works so early and so nicely right after launch with Open Source graphics drivers. For me it's wine at its best :-)
