There is a workaround that fixes this

 

Thanks a lot man! I used the 15.9 driver and now it works again! Made my day!

I've personally been getting slightly buggy performance in RoTR. This is with a 290x and 4670k @ 4.3. Especially when I enable my overclock in Afterburner I actually get much choppier performance in all games I've tried (GTA V, Wolfenstein New Order, AC Syndicate, RoTR). RoTR performance is still atrocious in the geothermal valley even after the latest patch for the game as well.

Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

No.

But an even newer driver Crimson 16.2.1 is already out. You should switch.

 

And welcome to the forum.

Also thanks for the welcome!

Make sure you're not using the highest texture setting. It requires more than 4GB of vram. Use the second highest instead.

Okay thanks for that. I think I have it set on High but I'll check to see. I know other people are having issues in the Geothermal Valley as well even on tank hardware. Most other places run at a buttery 60fps, even ones with high detail and long distance. And turning other settings down in GV doesn't seem to make much difference. There were one or two places like this in TR2013 that got fixed with a patch as well (was a cpu issue with object display in that one). This one I feel it's something to do with all the steam everywhere and the way the lighting interacts with it because during the night time in the same area it's not as bad.

 

Edit: Yeah I just checked it's set on high and it even gives a warning when I change it to Very High that it will take more than 4GB. Still pretty sure it's something to do with optimization. Actually have been waiting for more patches before I finish the game since I enjoy exploring and it's one of the nicer looking areas and the ups and downs really mess with immersion for me.
