=====================================================/ TOMB RAIDER - ANOTHER BLOODY CHRISTMAS\============================================================

Firstly a big thank you for downloading and taking the time to read through this and play the game. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I have creating it. 


IMPORTANT: 

	- Sometimes there can be a false positive alert from the antivirus software as it'll identify the tomb4.exe as a virus and remove it.
	  It happens very often with custom levels made with FLEP because this program hacks the tomb4.exe file.
	  Please add this folder to the ignore list of your antivirus program. 

	- By default bilinear filtering is forced OFF for an artistic choice which means the textures are slightly pixelated, however if you wish to turn this on there is a way. Check in the Bilinear Filter folder. 

========================================================================================================================================================

		BUGS:

		- Lucille (the grenade launcher) will appear with 0 ammo at the start, but you need to switch to the correct ammo type in the inventory.
		- Don't try to outsmart or outrun the guide/von croy AI. Doing so may cause the AI to mess up. Make multiple saves and reload if the AI does get confused or stuck.
		- Not really a bug, but a design flaw. As mentioned, the Grapple Gun is a one hit chance. If you miss you will have to reload. But the targets are easy.
		- If you come across a loading/saving bug where the game will reload everytime you save the game, try using the keyboard to save the game via F5. Sometimes using a controller causes this issue.

		STORY

	He better watch out
	He better not cry

	Follow Lara Croft on an adventure of festive fun, as she travels to the North Pole to gift Santa Claus a present of his very own. However, not all appears as it seems. Carnage and vengeance lie on the path ahead, but only one Legend can come out on top. 

	Will Christmas at the North Pole ever be the same again?

		
		MINECART

	Everyone's favourite TR3 vehicle has returned! (after the kayak) The minecart is back with a Christmas bang! Travel by rail through snowy caves, enchanted woods and sacred ruins. Keep Lara on track in her mission, whilst dodging traps and performing insane stunts!
