The most common problems:
Rise of the Tomb Raider and error 0xc000007b
This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). The most common reason for the error when starting the application 0xc000007b is problems with NVidia drivers.
Possible Solutions
- Reinstall video card drivers

- Install/update DirectX, Visual C++, .Net Framework. Download all files only from the official Microsoft website.
- Open the Run command prompt from the Start menu and type sfc /scannow. With this command, your PC will scan the system files and fix some errors.
- Remove unnecessary software that may conflict with the video driver. Basically, these are various "improvers" of graphics. The fewer additional applications you have running, the better.
Method with Dependency Walker 64bit
If you have any USB controllers (or other devices) connected to the network, try disabling them. Startup failures with failure module names ntdll.dll and EZFRD64.DLL can (in particular for the latter) be related to USB controllers or PS2 to USB adapters (for various games).
If you are experiencing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll errors on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, Microsoft has released a patch to fix the problem.

If you receive an error message MSVCR120.dll, go to C:\Windows\System 32 and look for "MSVCR120.dll". Delete this file. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rise of the Tomb Raider\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013 and run "vcredist_x64.exe". Then click "repair" (fix).
DirectX error in Rise of the Tomb Raider
Errors like: DirectX Runtime Error, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET.
- Perform a clean install of only the graphics card driver. Don't install audio, GeForce Experience... Same for AMD.
- Disable the second monitor (if available) and any other peripherals.
- Disable G-Sync.
- Use System File Checker
- For NVIDIA cards. Right click on desktop -> NVIDIA Control Panel. At the top where File, Edit, View... click "Help" and turn on "Debug Mode".
- Sometimes the cause may be overheating of the video card. Use the FurMark utility to test your graphics card under load. Try lowering the frequencies. For more information, see the Internet on request: undervolting and lowering the frequency of the video card.
Optimizing Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC
This is a pretty big topic. There are several steps you can take to improve performance.
Rise of the Tomb Raider Optimization Tips
Update your video driver
Nvidia/AMD
Use lower graphics settings
This is the most obvious, but effective method. Try downgrading graphic settings in the game and set the lowest possible resolution. Highest value performance is affected by: anti-aliasing settings, detail, the quality of shadows and textures, as well as the draw distance.
Overclock your CPU and GPU
The processor and video card in your PC can be overclocked. Before you start overclocking, make sure you have a powerful enough power supply and good cooling of the PC components. As a rule, all modern motherboards have a specialized set of utilities from the manufacturer, with which you can safely overclock a video card, processor or RAM. Please note that some video cards (usually with the addition of OC Edition in the name) already come from the manufacturer with overestimated frequencies. Also, do not try to overclock the laptop. More information can be found on overclocking websites.
You can optimize Rise of the Tomb Raider graphics settings in NVIDIA GeForce Experience
NVIDIA GeForce Experience / AMD Gaming Evolved / Intel HD Graphics Control Panel - applications with various features, including game optimization.
Use programs to clean your computer
On the Internet, you can find various, both paid and free programs for cleaning your computer. Advanced SystemCare is one of the most famous.
Defragment and clean up your hard drive
Open the disk properties. Go to the "Tools" tab -> click the "Defragment (or Optimize)" button. In the same place in the properties, perform a check and clean up the disk.
NVIDIA / AMD Control Panel
In the NVIDIA (or AMD) Control Panel, select the Manage 3D Settings (NVIDIA) tab, or Games -> 3D Application Settings (AMD). Here you can set global graphics processing settings if necessary. Or go to "Adjust Image Settings with Preview" (for NVIDIA), then " User settings-> Performance" by moving the slider to the left.
take away extra processes from startup
Click the Start button (or the button on your keyboard with the Windows logo). Type the msconfig command, press Enter. In the system configuration window that opens, open the "Startup" tab (in Win 10, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and open the same tab). Here are collected all the programs that are loaded when Windows startup. Disable everything you don't need (disable only known programs, otherwise you risk damaging your computer's startup). Restart your computer. Do not launch applications (browser, Skype, etc.). Launch Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Speed up Windows
Turn off Aero effects in Windows, disable unused services, built-in debuggers, and more.
Use flash drive as RAM
Click right click mouse on the flash drive and select "Properties". Open the "Ready Boost" tab, check the "Use this device" box.
Improve performance in Rise of the Tomb Raider
Do the following. Update your video card driver. Restart your PC. Set a lower resolution and also select a low level of visual effects in the graphics settings. It is not recommended to use any kind of accelerators and "boosters", since they also require the resources of your system, and at the same time their real usefulness is almost invisible in most cases. While you can infect your PC with a virus. Reinstall Windows. This method should be considered as a last resort if other options do not work. This can help, because after a few years of work, your "OS" grows with obsolete files and processes so much that programs slow down significantly. See for more details.Error installing Rise of the Tomb Raider
Installation stuck. The path to the game should not contain Russian letters, only Latin. Check and clean your hard drive (in rare cases, replacing the SATA cable may help). Try changing the installation path.
Rise of the Tomb Raider hangs in the dispatcher

Install the latest version of DirectX, maybe there are some problems in yours.
If in terms of gameplay new game from the studio Crystal Dynamics can hardly be called a revolution in the genre, then in technical terms it, on the contrary, is quite revolutionary - beautiful and incredibly realistic. But not without flaws, which we will help to fix in this article.
The material will help you when Rise of the Tomb Raider crashes, won't launch, freezes, won't install, or if the game doesn't have sound or other errors.
However, before proceeding with solving problems with the game, you need to check the required computer configuration.
Rise of the Tomb Raider System Requirements
Minimum system requirements:
- OS: Windows 7 (x64-bit only);
- Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 or AMD equivalent
- RAM: 6 GB;
- Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 650 (2GB) or AMD HD7770 (2GB)
- DirectX: version 11;

- DirectX: version 11;
- Disk space: 25 GB.
This does not mean that these specifications should not be targeted. As a rule, the minimum requirements are really true, as they determine the ability to run the game. Look at the recommended requirements with caution - they can easily not cost a damn thing, or they can even be a commercial move to stimulate sales of video cards, processors, and even operating systems(we all remember the fairy tales about the phenomenal increase in fps on Windows 8, and the “ten” is still well known).
Files, drivers and libraries
Before you start looking for your problem, you need to update to latest version video card driver:

Rise of the Tomb Raider crashes? Solution
The reasons for the crash can be very different, ranging from a bug in the game itself to a conflict between the game and some programs running in parallel. It is also possible that the crash is due to a lack of RAM. This is especially true for those who are trying to run Rise of the Tomb Raider, having 4-6 GB of RAM.
If the game crashes for you, then try disabling all programs that are not required for it - Skype, browser, music player and, possibly, antivirus (after all, if you honestly bought the game, then there can be no viruses in it).
Also, carefully read all error messages - they almost always contain information about the causes of the problem. If you do not know English, then save a screenshot or write it down somewhere to ask knowledgeable people.
If the game starts, but then, already in the process of passing, it crashes in a variety of places, then there is a possibility that this is due to Steam Cloud Saves - the game sometimes cannot write the save to the cloud, which is why it crashes. Try disabling this option in your Steam settings.
Is Rise of the Tomb Raider running slow? Solution
So, the game is running, but the frame rate is unbearably low. How to fix slowdowns, jams, drawdowns?
The surest and often the only solution is to lower the graphics settings. Try reducing or completely disabling those options that do not greatly affect the quality of the picture: anti-aliasing, shadows, lighting, and others. It all depends on your preferences.
However, this does not always help, because we live in a time when developers often enter into contracts with certain manufacturers of video cards and processors in order to optimize the game specifically for them. Unfortunately, Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of the casualties of this "collaboration". This translates into a significant decrease in performance on those computers that have a graphics card from AMD. Sometimes this problem cannot be fixed even several months after the release, so don't rely too much on new drivers.
No sound in Rise of the Tomb Raider? Solution
First make sure that the sound is turned on in the game settings. Further, if this is not the problem, then try running the game in compatibility mode. However, it often happens that problems with sound lie in the “iron” area: either the cable is bent somewhere and because of this it failed, or the contacts deteriorated due to careless handling or due to the initially poor quality of production.
Is Rise of the Tomb Raider giving a missing DLL error? Solution
Well, everything is simple: you need to load the required DLL. We have already noted such files above, however, sometimes you may encounter the problem of missing a particular DLL file. The easiest way to fix this is to use the program, however, sometimes it will be enough to simply check the integrity of the cache in Steam.
Rise of the Tomb Raider won't install? Solution
Sometimes problems start already at the installation stage. First, make sure that the hard drive you are installing the game on has enough free space. Always try not to drive the screw to the limit, and keep at least 10% of the total volume of the disk free.
Secondly, try to understand what kind of error occurs during installation. Perhaps the problem is not in your computer, but in corrupted, “broken” archives. This can happen if your internet frequently disconnects while downloading a game. It's not so scary. Worse, regular problems with files on the drive may indicate that it is faulty. In this case, try to keep a backup copy of all important files and diagnose the state of your file storage as soon as possible using special programs. In this case, do not waste time, because your hard drive may be living out its last days, hours or even minutes.
Thirdly, some games and programs very poorly "digest" Cyrillic characters in the installation path. Try to avoid such situations and always write the path exclusively in Latin letters (preferably without spaces, but this is much less common).
Black screen in Rise of the Tomb Raider? Solution
First, try running the game in windowed mode and disable the Steam overlay. Most often, this problem is related precisely to the settings of other programs running on the computer, but it can also occur when using a configuration of multiple monitors at the same time.
To force an application to windowed mode, use Alt+Enter or Alt+Esc commands.
Mouse and keyboard not working in Rise of the? Solution
If the problem with the drivers of devices connected to USB is not relevant, then the whole point is in the conflict between the devices themselves. For example, if you are using a graphics tablet or an external sound card, their drivers may conflict with the mouse or keyboard drivers.
To solve this problem, try disconnecting (unplugging) all peripherals except for the mouse and keyboard. If the problem will disappear, then try to connect other devices in turn. So you will identify exactly the device that is not working correctly and you will be able to localize the problem, so that you can then heroically solve it on specialized resources.
Camera not working properly in Rise of the Tomb Raider? Solution
On some configurations, there is a problem with the strange behavior of the camera: the higher the screen resolution, the worse it moves. Unfortunately, this is a bug in the game, and the only way to fix it at the moment is by lowering the resolution. Most likely, patches will fix the situation.
Rise of the Tomb Raider crashes, crashes, Rise of the Tomb Raider won't start, Rise of the Tomb Raider won't install, Rise of the Tomb Raider has no controls, no sound, errors pop up, Rise of the Tomb Raider saves not working – we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.
First, check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements:
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 or AMD equivalent
- Memory: 6 GB
- Video: DirectX 11 compatible graphics card, NVIDIA GTX 650/AMD HD7770 (2 GB)
- HDD: 25 GB
- DirectX: 11
Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software
Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of the drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.
It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of bugs not found and not fixed.
Do not forget that games often require the latest version of DirectX to be installed, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.
Rise of the Tomb Raider won't launch
Many problems with launching games happen due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during the installation, try uninstalling the game and running the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often the files needed for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that in the path to the folder with installed game there should be no Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.
It still does not hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as administrator in compatibility mode for different versions Windows.
Rise of the Tomb Raider slows down. Low FPS. Logs. Friezes. hangs up
First - install the latest drivers for the video card, from this FPS in the game can rise significantly. Also check the computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If, before starting the game, you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.
Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the settings responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly increase performance without greatly affecting the quality of the picture.
Rise of the Tomb Raider crashes to desktop
If Rise of the Tomb Raider often crashes to your desktop, try lowering the graphics quality to start solving the problem. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot work correctly. Also worth checking out for updates - most modern games have a system automatic installation new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.
Black screen in Rise of the Tomb Raider
More often than not, the problem with the black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your video card satisfies minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of insufficient CPU performance.
If everything is fine with the hardware, and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game window.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is not installed. Installation stuck
First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that the setup program requires the advertised amount of space plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive to run properly. In general, remember the rule - the system drive should always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.
Installation problems can also occur due to lack of Internet connection or its unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.
Saves not working in Rise of the Tomb Raider
By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a folder of documents, which is located separately from the game itself.
Controls not working in Rise of the Tomb Raider
Sometimes the controls in the game do not work due to the simultaneous connection of several input devices. Try disabling the gamepad, or if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If the gamepad does not work for you, then remember that only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks officially support games. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).
Sound not working in Rise of the Tomb Raider
Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game itself and if the sound playback device is selected there, to which your speakers or headset are connected. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound is muted there.
If you are using an external sound card- check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.
