Verifying Game Files in Steam

If you're experiencing game crashes, missing objects, or other minor glitches in the PC version of Rise of the Tomb Raider, try verifying game files in Steam. If this simple fix doesn't help, it certainly won't hurt.

1. Open your Steam Library.
2. Select Rise of the Tomb Raider.
3. Click the small gear icon on the middle right, just below the banner artwork, and choose 'Properties' from the drop-down list. (See first screenshot below.)
4. Click 'Local Files' in the list on the left side of the new window. (See second screenshot below.)
5. Click 'Verify Integrity of Game Files'. (Again, screenshot two.)
6. Now let it run until the process is complete.This can take several minutes. It should repair any corrupted files in your game installation but won't affect your saves or progress.

For more information, see this topic on the Steam Support Knowledge Base.

If you're still experiencing problems after running through these steps, visit the Square Enix ROTTR Support Forum and/or put in a support request through the Square Enix website (North America/Europe).
