Aspyr has issued a patch for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered addressing criticism of low-resolution textures on new outfits from last month's Challenge Mode update. The update fixes outfit issues, braid physics, and several gameplay bugs. Fans have praised the improvements on social media.
Aspyr released the patch for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered, targeting the 10 new outfits introduced in the free Challenge Mode update last month. Those outfits drew widespread criticism for their low resolution and clipping, with fans dubbing the mode 'Slop Raider' and accusing Aspyr of using generative AI. Aspyr denied the AI claims and committed to texture improvements, delivering on that promise with this update available now on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android, though Nintendo Switch 2 users must wait longer. The patch resolves low-resolution textures and clipping on the outfits, fixes Lara's braid physics in Photo Mode to prevent body clipping, and addresses texture mismatches—users can report lingering issues to support.aspyr.com. Other fixes include correct ammo values without duplication from the pause menu, proper modifier CR displays, unlockable Speed Demon achievements, damaging red laser beams in specific levels, non-overlapping main music at level starts, and non-stacking sound effects in Tomb Raider II. Platform-specific changes cover synchronous subtitles on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 1, and PC, while mobile adds working weapons modifiers, Speed Demon unlocks, access to Nightmare in Vegas in The Golden Mask DLC, and iOS achievements. Community reactions have been positive, with one social media user exclaiming, 'OMGGGG THEY UPGRADED THE COSTUMESSS THEY LOOK SO GOOD AND DETAILED.' Another noted, 'The difference is crazy. I wonder why they decided to release these costumes with those lava textures, they look completely different now.' Aspyr announced a second patch is in development to tackle game crashes, save bugs, AI issues, and inventory problems.
