1) To play, unzip the folder and double-click the PLAY! file. To fix any resolution errors, open the "setup" file in the "Engine" folder and set a different resolution in "Output Resolution". If the game is not working or it appears in strange colors, make sure you have selected "Hardware Acceleration".
2) If you see an annoying white bar at the top covering Lara's health bar, go to the "Engine" folder and then to the folder "Tomb_raider_series_fullscreen_border", then run the "install" program to fix the problem. (Program found on pcgamingwiki.com).
3) I recommend using a joystick. You can easily configure this in the game's Options menu.
4) To improve the game performance, open the "setup" file in the "Engine" folder, check the "Soft Full Screen" box and uncheck "Volumetric FX", then click OK. If you experience any slowdowns in the game, also try lowering the resolution ("Output Resolution") and/or playing in window mode ("Windowed") instead of full screen.
After recovering the hearts of saints Cosmas and Damian, necessary to obtain the Sword of Essen, Lara arrives in Germany to look for clues to the location of the sword, which a faithful reproduction is kept in the museum of the cathedral of Essen.
As always, Jean Yves supports her in the undertaking by staying in a hotel near the cathedral. But something is not going to go right and Lara will have to save her friend...
In the splash screen and the first loading screen of the game, some photos of the Essen cathedral and its museum are shown, to which this game is inspired.
I sincerely thank my betatesters Davidebre, Delta, Loreraider and Emaraider for helping me to solve various problems and for the many advice.
