Lara Croft Temple Of Osiris 2014 Manual PLP Instructions

Submitted by imusrt on 14 November, 2015 - 00:23

Game spreads decent, & is hor+. FOV & all text are proper. HUD & menus proper (both on center screen, menu backgrounds hor+). Loading screens & FMVs pillarboxed to center. Rendered cutscenes hor+. Likely slim pillarbox imperfection *, due to limited aspect choices.

1. In launcher, uncheck Fullscreen, settings how you want, quit.
2. Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Dynamics\Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris\Graphics. Edit UserWindowWidth & UserWindowHeight your fullscreen PLP, no border (Decimal Base).
3. Use Hacked Exe:
A. Download exe pack from http://www.wsgf.org/dr/lara-croft-and-temple-osiris/en.
B. Extract & open folder, view listed exes (PLP best choice is likely "LC2.exe.4960x1600" with aspect 3.1).
C. Pick hacked exe with an aspect close to yours (aspect = width divided by height).
i. Best choice: pick same aspect or bit lower than yours (if aspect not identical, picking bit lower will create ~ one inch pillarbox, hor+ & proper FOV).
OR ii. Pick aspect bit higher than yours (creates game with no pillarbox; BUT picking an aspect ~ 0.5 higher than yours will create ~ FOV+17 game; higher is FOV++).
D. Copy your selected hacked exe to (path-to-game), backup original exe, rename hacked exe "LC2.exe".
4. Start game, ShiftWindow (+ border = borderless).

== Comparison (note #3C): Wrong Aspect Effect ==


(aspect used: bit lower than mine. Causes slim pillarbox & proper FOV)


(1080p, proper)


(aspect used: bit higher than mine. Causes slight FOV+)

NOTES:
1. * Imperfection: likely will spread with ~ one inch pillarbox (i.e. margin on outer sides). Game would spread un-pillarboxed proper (perfect overall spread) if you find/request/make a hacked exe with perfect aspect. Otherwise game shows some pillarbox or is FOV+ (depending on whether chosen aspect is lower or higher).
2. Do not change launcher's Options nor in-game graphics options (or overwrites registry edit).
3. Regarding DRM: hacked exe seems safe, since WSGF gamers use this hack. Use at your own risk.
4. Hacked exes available: aspect 2.37 (2560x1080), 2.39 (3440x1440), 2.8 (5400x1920), 3.1 (4960x1600), 3.75 (3840x1024), 4.8 (5760X1200), 5.05 (6060x1200), 7.11 (7680x1080).
