Welcome to LCO, Neilcroy!

Great, as long as I can customise the taskbar I'll be happy (I'm very very neurotic about it )

Welcome, touchthesky! Hope you enjoy yourself here

Yeah, I'm very neurotic about having everything in the same order on the taskbar too, so I'm very happy that you can drag the buttons around in Win7. I rather like the look of Windows 7 and since it appears that I'll be able to customise the taskbar to be how I like it, I'm thinking that I should buy me a new computer with it when it's released...

It's not so much the quick launch bar I'm concerned about, it's the whole taskbar. From what I've seen they've made it so that you only have one button on the taskbar for each program, even if you have multiple windows open for that program. That will drive me absolutely insane because I'm neurotic about the taskbar. At the moment if I open too many windows and they all get smooshed into one button on the taskbar, I have to immediately start closing windows until they all unsmoosh, no matter what I happen to be in the middle of. I cannot handle not being able what windows I have open and it's the reason I'll never ever own an Apple Mac. Not to mention you can't use the Win7 taskbar thing to open a new window if you already have an instance of the program running, which I think is completely stupid. It'll be the very first thing I change if I ever get Windows 7...

I haven't tried it myself, but from the demos I've seen the way the taskbar works in Win7 is going to annoy the absolute heck out of me. They seem to have made it like that dock you get in Apple Macs. I hate that stupid Apple dock. If there's a way to turn that off and get the taskbar and quicklaunch bar like it is in WinXP I'd be willing to use it...

Is this the room where the chains are moving very fast? Press the Interact button repeatedly while Lara is moving along the chain to make her go faster.

Thanks I had a brilliant time, I just wish my holiday could have been longer. I'll sort through my holiday snaps and share some good ones I think...

I'm leaving for South Africa tomorrow and will be there until the 4th of January I haven't been home for almost three years so I'm very excited about it

Great pictures, DPicossi, thanks for sharing Some new ones of mine... A close-up view of the giant octopus thing: I love smashing baddies with Thor's Hammer! You can post pictures as links, or put them directly in the thread, or you can upload them as attachments. It's up to you! I use a combination of url and img tags to do the thumbnails. You have to right-click on the thumbnail picture that Photobucket generates to get the URL of the thumbnail, and you have to put the code together yourself since Photobucket doesn't generate the code automatically. I use the same sort of code that's used when you want to make text into a link, but instead of text I put the thumbnail URL in img tags. Like so: [url=*the link to the full-sized picture*][img]*the link to the thumbnail picture*[/img][/url]

No, when I started a new game after I completed it the first time, all the treasures I'd collected were still there in my stats, so all the unlockable content would still have been there too.

Okay, excellent, glad you got it sorted

I saved it to my desktop when I downloaded it, so I don't think that's causing your problem. Is the file you downloaded a .rar one? Have you tried extracting it? What happens when you try to apply the patch?

I just extracted and ran it, and it updated the game automatically. Do you have the DVD version of the game or a downloaded version?

http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=84316 This patch is only for the DVD version. A patch for the download game is being worked on. Fixes: - Inability of users to map the mouse buttons. - Inability of users to map the ‘center camera’ button. - Some occasional crash fixes. - Graphics card stability: + A change to re-enable use of some graphics card features on ATI hardware, with their latest drivers. + Progress has been made towards addressing stalling on GeForce 6/7 series hardware. - Fixed compatibility issues with certain Realtek sound drivers which could cause crashes. - Autosaves now made for each chapter. Number of save slots is increased to accommodate these. - Bug with ramp not raising in Xibalba. - Fixed black screen deadlock when skipping doppelganger cinematic. - Issue with door lever at Kraken room entrance. - Occasional control issue during headshot move. - Fixed an occasional problem when entering a save game filename. - Some PDA fixes. - Some cinematic subtitle fixes. Busy downloading it now

A floating bad guy corpse, just like you used to get in the old TR games

Time for a screenshots thread, 'cause I love taking pictures. Face to face with a panther Jump! Dancing on a beam Lara's hair does something strange I love how this guy just sits here looking terribly bored until Lara comes along. I imagine it's been quite a while since he's had something interesting happen to him. It looks like Lara's kicked this guy somewhere painful... Tomb Raider FPS Now for a bunch of random combat pictures...

Are you in Thailand, at the place where you're supposed to use a pole to open the underwater door? If so you may have encountered a game-stopping bug on the Wii. Have a read of Stella's Underworld page: http://www.tombraiders.net/stella/walks/TR...k/09puppet.html Tomb Raider Underworld Wii Statement from Eidos Interactive: http://support.eidosinteractive.com/index....kbarticleid=651 If you have encountered the bug and you have an SD card, I believe you can download saves and transfer them over.

Another one. This bug happens if you make Lara crouch and go over a ledge.

Eidos and Crystal D have offered some official advice on how to avoid the bug, and how to resolve the problem if you have encountered it. The cause is completely different to all the theories I'd read so I've updated my original post. Go here for more information: http://www.eidos.co.uk/support/faqinfo.htm...26&gmid=215

What you need to do it walk up right to the edge of that platform (using the walk key so Lara doesn't fall off), then press back once to get Lara to hop backwards. Then run forward and press jump to do a running jump toward the platform with the switch, and then press and hold action while Lara's in the air so she'll grab the edge of the platform. Keep pressing action to make sure she doesn't lose her grip on the other side, and press forward to get her to pull herself up.

Alister died so he's in the afterlife somewhere/reincarnated as a snail/whatever happens after one dies. Amanda, who knows. She was still pretty angry at the end. I rather like her so I hope she returns sometime in the future, though not necessarily in the next game. Lara's mother got turned into a zombie after she was transported to Helheim.

That thing killed me twice. The first time I let it do that on purpose to see what would happen, the second time because my health was low and I wasn't paying nearly as much attention as I should have been... Lara seems to love killing off rare and unique creatures though, so at least the whole episode must've made her happy.

It took me two weeks, but I didn't play every day. I didn't keep track of how many hours it took me, though it was probably around about 7 or 8 hours total.

I finished the game tonight! I would've been done sooner but I stopped playing for a few days when I was sick. I think I'll go try out the treasure hunt thing...
