Hello!
I've recently installed Glidos on my computer so that I could play Tomb Raider and Unfinished Business using the amazing TRX texture packs.
My configuration is as follows.
Intel Core2Duo E8400 @ 3.00Ghz
SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Nvidia 8800 GTS
Windows 7 32bit
Glidos 1.48
Tomb Raider, English version
Installed by following the instructions on this page: http://glidos.net/install.html?lang=en#instglidos
All the Glidos setting are in the default state, but I changed the resolution, made the game go in fullscreen, installed texture packs and installed the MP3 audio tracks.
Unfortunately, I've been experiencing several issues!
1. TR is slow to enter menu
In game, when I press F5, F6 or Esc I have to wait up to 10 seconds until the game enters the menu.
2. Music from the main menu continues playing in the opening FMVs.
Whenever I select New Game, or Lara's Home, the music plays all throughout the FMV. Then stops when the game begins.
3. When I try to play Unfinished Business, I can't.
When I try to play the game, instead of the Unfinished Business menu screen, the regular TR1 menu appears. Then, when I select New Game, the game exits and there is this error:
S_LoadLevel(): Could not open F:\data\egypt.phd\
4. The game is really jagged.
I read on this forum that anti-aliasing can be turned for Nvidia cards, but I don't know how. 🙁
Please, if you have any suggestions I'd be happy to try them. I've already paid the $10 for Glidos since it worked great on my old computer (TR, that is, I've never tried UB before), so you can imagine I'm quite disappointed.
Also, I don't know if it means anything. But I've tried installing the game using this procedure as well: http://www.tombraiderhub.com/faq/tr1.html
When I did, both TR and UB worked fine, except there was no sound effects in game, only the background music.
Thank you in advance! 😀
