Tomb Raider: Chronicles Tips

Oversize Menus and Black Screen

If your initial menus seem oversized and/or you get black or garbled screens in-game, I may have a solution.  On my computer I ran the exe from the 'run command' option under 'programs' and checked the box to make a log.  The log indicated that I had a problem with fbo.

To solve this:
Go to 'programs' and 'run command'.  Choose your Tomb Raider Chronicles bottle and under 'command' type [regedit] (with no brackets).

Go to hkey_current_user/software/wine

Here, right click on the 'wine' folder and create a 'key' called 'Direct3D'.

In hkey_current_user/software/wine/Direct3D create a 'string' called OffscreenRenderingMode.  Right click on the new string and select 'modify'.  Under the value, enter [backbuffer] (with no brackets).

Exit from the regedit.

TRC works for me now, and even works in full-screen, although the vids seem a little jumpy in full-screen.
