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, so it’s at least great that Nixxes has addressed them so soon.
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 (unless you are using a beta branch) and you can find its complete changelog below.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
