Patch 1.0.610.1 for Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC has been released. The patch fixes critical issues, and adds features requested by fans.
We rundown all fixes below, but here’s a quick look at the most salient additions and changes:
You can now invert mouse and game axis.
You can choose to disable keyboard button prompts.
For fans with high end rigs, a new Spectacular Reflection Quality graphics option to enhance resolution and reduce aliasing for specular reflections.
A Resolution Modifier. This lets you choose a rendering resolution in windowed mode that is different from the window size itself.
Finally, fixed some Steam specific issues that kept owners of the Steam version from starting and playing it.
Your game should update automatically the moment you reopen your game, whether it is the Steam or Windows App Store version. In case it does not update automatically, you can restart the Steam client on Steam. Otherwise, for Windows App owners, look for the update manually in the Windows 10 Store.
