![]() It’s all part of the job, and for the most part comes effortlessly. Lara is as nimble as ever, jumping from perilous ledge to crumbling platform as if she’s still in her late teens, swinging from poles, balancing on beams and abseiling down walls without a second thought. It’s a truly epic journey (certainly one of the longer games to arrive in this busy release period), with the game offering the kind of adventuring Tomb Raider made its name from and some solid combat thrown in for good measure.Īnyone who has played either Legend or Anniversary will know roughly what to expect in terms of core gameplay. After discovering proof of the Norse underworld at the bottom of the Mediterranean sea, Lara starts an adventure that takes her all over the world and into her own family history. Underworld centres on Lara’s quest for Thor’s hammer, the Norse god’s hugely powerful weapon. With Underworld being the most ambitious title in the series to date, is it three for three for Lara’s saviours? After the critically mauled Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, developer Crystal Dynamics took the reigns and has returned Lara to her glory days. Needless to say, the rest is history, with Tomb Raider now standing as one of the most popular video game series ever created. She was once seen as a pin-up for PlayStation and helped convince thousands (if not millions) of gamers that they needed to ditch their 16-bit consoles in favour of a shinier, more powerful 32-bit monster. Lara Croft is one of a dying breed of video game icons from the mid 90s. If you are just looking for a somewhat spoiler-free bug list, Stella's website comes in handy again. If you are unsure that you have come across a bug, I would consult the walkthrough on Stella's website. Generally speaking, if you play the game in some sensible way, you will be hard pressed to find bugs (besides poor engine design). At some points, I've gone out of my way to trigger them, only to find they would never trip. ![]() I've found that some of the PC version bugs described don't seem to trigger. Levels have bugs where once the triggers are tripped, it requires a level restart to reset them.Critical items go missing on character respawn, preventing level progression/completion.Health items go missing on character respawn.Critical items go missing due to level triggers, preventing level progression/completion.Cut scenes don't stop/start/trigger as expected, breaking level completion.The handful or so bugs are summed up as follows: As long as you don't rely on the autosave, you should have a good time playing Underworld. Other Common BugsThere were quite a few potential bugs that I was only made aware of by Stella at. The location for the game's configuation is: Within the start menu type "regedit.exe" and it should be the first option. You can modify the Windows Registry with regedit, a built-in Microsoft provided utility. Registry entries have a location, marked with a Key, data, and type. I'm not sure how this transfers over to Valve's Proton system, but I will find out after my move to Linux once Windows 7 support is cut. ![]() Unlike my other guides, this one deals exclusively with the Windows Registry. In this guide you will find every aspect covered, whether it be gameplay or graphics, I've tried to include as much as I can. While I strongly recommend playing the game without any modifications first, it's obviously your choice. Because I have the knowledge (and almost obsession) to go about fixing these games, I've decided to write the "Definitive Improvement Guide" series to improve the experience people have with the games. With that, I've come to face the reality that many of these wonderful titles were not designed with future improvements in mind. When it comes to "old school" classics, I probably not only know of them, but also played them at some point.
