Doing so will allow you to customize some settings, in particular, your monitor settings. GamePlay Tips The demo starts with Lara inside a boxcar on a train. To open the door to the next car, position Lara next to the large lever in the middle of the car (so the lever is pointing directly at her). press the Action key (control) to push the lever and open the door. If you have trouble lining up with the lever, use the shift and left/right arrow keys to sidestep. To jump to the next car, step carefully to the edge by holding down the Shift key and pressing forward, then press jump and forward at the same time to jump to the next car (you may have to aim Lara to the right a bit). On the second car, you can approach the closed door and press Action (control) to open it. Thhe first enemy you are attacked by is a red & black cloaked ninja. If he has his sword out, he will deflect your bullets. To get him to put his sword away, holster your guns (press Space). You can tell if you are hitting him with your bullets if you see little red clouds appear around him.

Troubleshooting Refresh Rate: If you have trouble with Tomb Raider TLR not switching your monitor into a resolution that is recognized, you may need to use the Setup program and select a specific refresh rate under the Graphics tab. If you don't know what refresh rates your monitor supports, go to the Monitors & Sound control panel under the Apple menu, and look at the list of resolutions. The number labeled "Hz" is the refresh rate. For instance, if you have "800 x 600, 75Hz" in the Resolution list, you would select "800x600" in the TR:TLR setup application for resolution (on the "Graphics" panel), and "75Hz" from the Refresh popup menu. If you continue to have trouble with the game recognizing your settings, also try switching your desktop to the desired resolution (800x600 75hz in this case) in the Monitors & Sound control panel, and then start up the game. Monitor displays garbage during game or game crashes after the intro movie - Some monitors and video cards require very specific "refresh rate" settings to work, particularly at resolutions higher than 640x480. If the game displays the Tomb Raider TLR splash screen and introduction movies, but then shows bad graphics or your monitor flickers back and forth, you probably need to set a specific refresh rate in the Tomb Raider TLR Setup application. See the paragraph above, Refresh Rate, for instructions on changing this setting. No music plays during the game - Tomb Raider TLR requires the full install of QuickTime 4. If you installed QuickTime 4 and didn't do a full install, simply run the QuickTime 4 Installer again, this time with the "Full" install. DrawSprocket - If you get an error message about Tomb Raider TLR requiring DrawSprocket, you may need to select a specific monitor refresh rate in the Tomb Raider TLR setup application. See the paragraph above, Refresh Rate, for instructions on setting the refresh rate. Detecting new hardware - If you add new hardware to your Mac and want Tomb Raider TLR to automatically detect it, simply throw away the "Tomb Raider TLR Prefs" file in your Preferences folder in the System Folder. You will have to reset any preferences you have changed since first running the game. Performance Tips Here are a few things you can try to make the game play faster and smoother: Ą If you are playing on an iMac or other Mac with a Rage Pro 3D accelerator, make sure the "32 bit" check box in the Graphics panel of the Tomb Raider TLR Setup application is off. Ą Set the game resolution to a smaller size. Ą Quit all other open applications. Ą Restart your Mac with only necessary extensions (Mac OS base extensions, QuickTime, Draw & Input Sprockets, OpenGL), using the Extensions Manager control panel.
