Essential improvements[edit]

How to open the launcher after the first time[citation needed]
|
To make the launcher open again, use -setup as an argument.

- Fixes lag when accessing the inventory
- Forced resolution allows high resolution without shrinking the HUD\menus
- Aspect ratio and field of view correction in widescreen resolutions
- Hides the window border on windows 10
- Fixes the missing loading screens
- Better compatibility with Xinput gamepads
TRNG is a fan made update to the game's included level editor with a lot more features than the original one.
Tomb Raider Mouse Helper[edit]
Tomb Raider Mouse Helper is a utility which allows controlling Lara with the mouse. It also maps the WASD keys to enable a more modern, keyboard+mouse control scheme.
OpenTomb[edit]
OpenTomb is an open source remake of the Tomb Raider engine. It overhauls almost all aspects of the game engine, along with adding cross-platform support for modern operating systems and Lua scripting support.
