Rise of the Tomb Raider DX11 vs. DX12 Review @ [H] Discussion in '. DX12 SLI is a disaster for me with this patch. Extremely choppy. Rise of the tomb raider, Shadow of mordor, Watch Dogs, Dragon Age Inquisition, GTA V, Crysis 3, Hitman (also Absolution) and another quite substantial amount of games will use 8 threads easily without the.
Startup issues (Steam Only):
- Fixed C++ runtime error showing up on startup preventing some users from running the game.
- Provided work-around for issue where the VC++ redist would not properly get installed, stopping the game from starting at all.
- Solved problem where the game would crash on startup when tools like Bins Taskbar organizer or Spacedesk are installed.
Updated options screen with among other things:
- Independent mouse sensitivity control for aim and regular navigation.
- Mouse and Gamepad X axis inversion
- Option to disable keyboard button prompts.
- Option to disable mouse smoothing (very light mouse smoothing is present otherwise)
